HERE’S HOW THE PROCESS WORKS:

1. SCHEDULING & PLANNING

We work directly with the organization, school, or coach to schedule photo day and plan the overall look of the shoot. This includes deciding between traditional photos, custom composites, banners, trading cards, team posters, or a combination of everything.

2. REGISTRATION & ORDERING
Families register online ahead of time through our streamlined system powered by PhotoDay. This eliminates paper forms, cash handling, and confusion on picture day. Athlete names and information entered during registration are used directly on graphics, banners, and products.

3. PHOTO DAY SETUP
On shoot day, we bring a professional studio-style setup directly to your location. Depending on the package selected, we use:

  • Traditional, natural backgrounds

  • Professional lighting

  • Green screen technology for composites

  • Custom-designed digital backgrounds

This allows us to create everything from clean traditional team photos to dramatic, high-impact sports composites.

Comparison between traditional photo shoot on a field or gym and a digital background composite, showing photos of children in different outfits and poses, with one image featuring a boy holding a baseball bat and a girl in a patriotic dress, while others show models on green screens with digital backgrounds.

4. INDIVIDUAL PHOTOS
Each athlete is photographed individually using guided posing and professional lighting to create strong, modern images that stand out. We keep the process fast and organized so teams move efficiently while still getting premium-quality results.

The player is wearing red socks, white shoes, and has long blonde curly hair.

5. TEAM PHOTOS
We photograph full teams using either:

  • Traditional team photography

  • Composite team images (where athletes are photographed separately and digitally combined into one dramatic final image)

Composite team photos allow for cleaner layouts, flexible posing, and polished designs that are impossible with standard group photos.

6. EDITING & DESIGN
After the shoot, every image is professionally edited and designed. For composite shoots, we digitally create custom graphics using team colors, logos, textures, lighting effects, and custom-designed backgrounds tailored to the organization.

  • We strongly encourage all school boosters to reach out to us prior to utilizing any images for game-day events or promotional usage. This will allow us to discuss and clarify important terms and agreements that govern the usage of our copyrighted photography. We are very easy to work with and will ensure you get the content you need to succeed in a manner that will protect everyone. We would also love to discuss all of our options to help you and your sponsors gain more visibility within the community as well.

  • You can contact me to schedule your team shoots. I will manually add you to my automated calendar. Any “per-athlete” fees are to be paid using PhotoDay’s AdvancePay feature and must be paid in full before photoday. You can start the booking process to see my availability. Remember, you're investing in my photography services, not just my time. Sessions may go longer or shorter than scheduled.  Please contact me prior to booking any shoots to discuss details and to make sure my calendar is up to date.

  • All final digital images will be delivered to all registered athletes and parent via our hosting platform, Photoday with print and digital purchase options. All images will be watermarked prior to purchasing. Once purchased, final prints and digitals will not have the watermark.

  • WHAT IS GREENSCREEN/COMPOSITE PHOTOGRAPHY?

    I take pictures of each athlete against a green screen, making it easy to add them to a digital background later. This process involves cutting out the athlete from the green screen and placing them into the new background using Photoshop. I usually use three lights for this setup.

    DO I HAVE TO BE AT THE SHOOT WITH THE REST OF MY TEAM? DO YOU DO MAKE-UP DAYS?

    Please make every effort to arrive on time. My schedule is very tight during sports seasons, and setting up and breaking down takes a lot of time, so we can't return for reshoots for just a few athletes. However, we might come back to your school for other team shoots, and you could join one of those sessions, but it's not guaranteed. Contact us to discuss, and we'll do our best to help.

    CAN I SELECT PROOFS?

    I send seniors proofs to choose what image they would like to use on their banners. Other than that, I give all athletes a wide selection of final edits to choose from for print & digital downloads. We are unable to send all athletes proofs at this time.
