Go Gators! (2018)

We're back with the Florida Gators Women's Basketball team for their 2018 Lifestyle Portrait photo shoot on-location in Downtown Gainesville, Florida. This is our second full-team shoot with the Gators (take a look at last year's shoot) and it took place a few weeks before the 2018-2019 season kicked off.

Shooting with 10 student-athletes over four days was a blast! Each student-athlete brought their own personality and flair to each session. This was also a chance for the team to showcase their new Gators-themed Jordan Brand gear (read more).

Scroll down to see our favorite images from the multi-day shoot and go behind-the-scenes (BTS) thanks to our assistant photographer, Matt Goldman (Goldman Photography).
