My Story

Hey! My name is Parker Schaeffer, I’m a freelance sports photographer based in Johnson City, TN. I specialize in capturing the energy and emotion of athletics through my lens, working with local teams, athletes, and organizations while always keeping the door open for new freelance opportunities.

I first picked up a camera in Junior Year of high school and quickly realised I wasn’t just taking pictures I was telling stories. What started as a way to capture moments for the mind’s eye turned into a full-time passion I’ve poured countless hours into honing. Over the years, I’ve focused on building a style that blends sharp action with raw emotion, making sure every shot feels alive and authentic.

For me, photography isn’t just about snapping action shots it’s about capturing the moments fans talk about long after the game, giving athletes photos they’re genuinely proud to share, and helping teams show off their identity. Every game I shoot is a new chance to grow, tell a story, and keep pushing myself to be better behind the camera.
