Between flower girls, maternity sessions, and pretty high school seniors, we manage to squeeze in some real men for some intense sports portraits.  Meet Paul Bird - a Des Moines area Ultimate Fighter who is undefeated as a pro.  Paul has traveled the world, including training in Thailand, in search of the perfect can of whoop ass and seems to have found it.  Paul is referred to in the ultimate fighting world as ”The Gingerbread Man” (as in you can’t catch me).  We hope the images help celebrate Paul’s success in the cage.  You can catch The Gingerbread Man in action at the Midwest Cage Championship Tournament at the BUCCS Arena on Hickman on April 25th.

A sports image composite from Paul’s session.  For inspiration I had Paul give me a few jabs to the head and this is what I saw.
