Luke Miller, Sports Photographer

Hi, I’m Luke Miller. This is my first year on staff and I am a sports photographer. Although this is my first year on staff I’ve been taking pictures for the last three years. If I’m not taking pictures I’m usually at a lake. I love water sports and just being on the water in general.
