Fall Sports | Image of the Week | Week 8
If any of us are being truly honest, this was a heavy week. Usually, fall sports bring with them a sense of lighthearted competition that surrounds a group of high school students participating in an activity that they love. This past week, though, was a bit different. These past seven days have presented us with an opportunity to evaluate why we do what we do, and what we are doing it for. This week brought more school portraits, a Pink Out for Cancer night, a homecoming dance, and one really, really difficult evening.
Week 8.

This week has been extremely rough for not just me, but the entire Lewisburg community, while we grieve the loss of one of their students. While I didn't know him personally, I saw him at different events, and I can't help but feel this heavy-hearted weight of sadness. Friday night should not have happened. That's why I want to take this opportunity to tell every single student that we see on a weekly basis - that we are not just there to take pictures. If you are struggling with anything and need to talk to an adult, but can't place who - please come talk to one of us. While we might not entirely understand your situation, we will do everything in our power to sincerely listen and help you in any way we can. I am encouraging each of you that reads this to be thoughtful with your words and actions this week and every week. If you see someone being put down or belittled in any way - stand up for them. Fight for them. Let them know that they are worth so much more than how they feel. Your words and actions impact the people around you, more than you could ever know. The world is stressful enough, so always be kind, and be intentional about it. Our deepest sympathies go to the family, know you are in our thoughts and prayers. - Megan

Week Seven - it’s so strange to think there are only three weeks left in the regular fall sports season. Before we know it, we’ll be done with fall and onto winter sports! This week, our staff covered events at all five schools and attended sporting events for soccer, volleyball, and football. We finished off the week celebrating with TCN as they held their first homecoming dance since 2019. We are almost caught up with everything from the beginning of the season and want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your continued support and allowing the four of us to do what we love!
here’s to week seven!

Fall Sports | Image of the Week | Week 6
We don’t know about all of you, but we have definitely had one interesting week. Week 6 for fall sports left us in one of the slowest, busiest weeks of the season. We’re just past the halfway point of fall sports and it feels like we just photographing them yesterday! This past Saturday, we attended homecoming dances for Preble Shawnee, Dixie, and Twin Valley South. Other festivities during the week included Powderpuff games, parades, and a lot of excitement as we celebrated homecomings for the first time since 2019!
here’s to week six!

Fall Sports | Image of the Week | Week 5
Better late than never, am I right?! Although it's technically the beginning of Week 6 of fall sports coverage, we're just getting around to sharing our favorite images from Week 5! Things have been crazy busy around here and there's been a lot of catching up to do, but without further ado It’s time to check in with each of our employees and see what sports they’ve been covering. This past week has been packed with all kinds of sports actions. This week we covered football, soccer, and volleyball! This has left us wondering where time has gone and we can't believe that we're already halfway through the season!
here’s to week five!
Mike
Mike's image of the week comes from the National Trail vs. Dixie Varsity Football game. Although it was quite the matchup, the NT Blazers took a 38 over 20 win over the Greyhounds.
Megan
Megan's image of the week comes from the varsity football game at Tri County North where the Panthers took on the Arcanum Trojans. Even though the score ended at 48-16 with an Arcanum upset over North, the Panthers didn't give up. This image was captured as the second touchdown of the evening was scored by TCN.
Debbie
Debbie's image of this week comes from her varsity girl's soccer game where the Preble Shawnee Arrows traveled to Dixie High to take on the varsity Greyhounds. In an exciting matchup, the Varsity Lady Arrows ended up with a win over Dixie, 5-1.

September 11, 2001
This week, we came together as a country to reflect on the 9/11 attacks that occurred twenty years ago. This week at Champine Photography, we wanted to do something special for our image of the week blog. Each of our staff members this week has contributed a patriotic themed image, as a simple way to pay our respects to the men and women who were lost on 9/11

Thank you to the brave men and women who put everything on the line and sacrificed that day. For those who made the ultimate sacrifice, you will forever be in our hearts. Let us not forget, educate the generations to come, and always remember.
