Custom Soccer Photo Template

Here is one of the benefits of taking Laura Coyle's Illustrator class at ReneePearson.com - you can find a dragon online as inspiration and then draw it to look just the way you want it.  Of course I had guidance from my son on this one - it needed a pointy tongue and the soccer ball needed to be on fire, plus a horn on his nose, and a longer tail.  What can I say? It was fun to create something with him. I placed his name under his photo.  And of course the city name goes next to Dragons. And my husband was coach so I added his name and kept his photo visible too for you to see.  It was kinda bright for photos but you don't get a choice sometimes. Fill flash courtesy SB800 - camera Nikonn D7000 - lens 70-200 F2.8
And we photographed the wedding of the Aunt of two of the kids on the team.
