Hi, I’m Jacob Hock, a sophomore at CU Boulder and founder of Shot by Hock Photography. I started this freelance photography business in 2025 to capture athletic moments and lasting memories, and I love collaborating with teams and athletes to tell their stories on and off the field. My photography and videography career has taken off and allowed me to participate in taking my content to high level sporting events. I’ve spent years in the restaurant industry, taking on roles from crew member to lead, and I’ve developed strong leadership and teamwork skills. In my spare time I enjoy the gym, soccer, and the outdoors. I was an NCAA D3 athlete in Iowa before returning to Colorado to continue my studies.
