I LOVE working with athletes! Because I'm not a large scale sports photographer, my goal is to establish a close relationship with your studio / organization, with goals of friendship and helping one another thrive!
I can accommodate sports teams and dance studios of all sizes for your annual picture day, as well as smaller and more unique photo days.
ALL picture day options:
• Encourage digital image purchases, and are structured to give more value for digital image file purchases.
• Offer physical print purchasing as an alternative, however, a shipping fee is mandatory for all physical product ordered, as these get shipped directly to each customer's home.
• Include a free headshot of all coaches / instructors
• Require a photo-day fee for EVERY athlete present on picture day (even if they are not having individual portraits captured). This fee covers our staff's day-of pay, the digital team image copy, and the poster.
• A slightly higher fee per individual is required for composited group portraits (the fee depends on number of group composite images being created).
• A pre-pay retainer fee per athlete for those wanting individual photos captured (fees start as low as $40 per athlete)
• PROFIT SHARING (5%) will be offered to all organizations with 100 or more athletes
• One free team banner will be given to all organizations when individuals complete the ordering process by our set deadline.
Basic
Choose from either a solid color backdrop (we highly suggest a neutral like the example to the right, or plain white), or an on site location such as a gymnastics gym, or a football field.
There is no additional fee for group portraits when everyone is physically present. We can, alternatively, create a digital composite of all individuals for an additional fee when you choose a neutral solid color backdrop option.
For a low additional fee, each athlete will receive a poster of the full organization roster, as well as the digital copy, regardless of whether or not they register and pay for individual portraits.
After picture day, we can offer special effects options for parents looking for something a little "extra." Parents pay this fee if, and only if, they want a special effect.
Green Screen
Choose green screen for ALL images captured to have the same special effect applied. A few things to note with this option:
1) feet will ALWAYS be cropped out, so please communicate this with parents.
2) There is green screen surcharge per athlete for ALL athletes photographed, regardless of whether or not they order. This fee is separate from the individual prepay retainer, and pays for the extra post processing work (it's a bit to-do, but it's so worth it!).
3) This option also includes one team poster for each athlete, plus the digital copy of the team image, regardless of whether or not they register and pay for individual portraits.
4) A composite of the full organization (all levels/teams) can be created for an additional fee.
5) ONE digital background will be chosen by your organization's decision-maker. Additional options will be offered to parents at an additional fee after picture day.
Dance - Recital
Dance picture day is a completely different chaotic and fun process, different from other sports. We have multiple costumes, group dances, solos, duets, and other considerations.
In our experience, we have found that a neutral and plain backdrop (such as white or ivory) is more favorable to a variety of costumes, AND ages to consider. We also find that profit sharing results tend to be a lot more favorable with simple backdrops.
On Location
This option is my FAVORITE option.
It is meant for groups with a cap of 50 dancers (which is a BIG under-taking, but can be done).
• Together, we will choose an indoor or outdoor location that offers a unique experience to your organization.
• We will capture both individual AND group images.
• Each individual will receive at least 6 image downloads, plus the group image downloads.
• A flat fee per individual will be charged
• ALL digital image downloads will be included
• Typical price range for this option is $125-250 per individual
• Fees do not include location rental or permit costs
Special Effect
Think fog machine / smoke emitters or powder for this one!
One of my absolute favorite sessions are my powder trampoline sessions. While traditionally offered for groups of 10 or less, we can offer these special sessions for a large group when they are hosted at your organization's location!
One or two poses would be selected by myself and the organization, and each athlete would have their time in front of the camera. There are a lot of factors involved with these, so let's chat about options!
They also make a great optional fundraiser!
