FAQ

Where are the Photos?

Our personal goal is to have the images post-processed and uploaded within 48 hours of a game, however, we often shoot between 4-10 games a day during the busy season and this can push out the gallery release time. There is one other major reason that it takes us longer than the photographers who shoot and hve their prints ready the next morning, we spend the time to color-correct, crop, and post-process our images to ensure that every child has professional-quality photos that make him or her the center of the action. Rest assured that we do everything we can to have the images complete and ready to view as soon as we can.

Why Do You Shoot More of One Player?

Our goal is always to shoot everyone on each team that we shoot, however, during the game we generally follow the action, which can lead to an inordinate amount of shots of a particular player. In baseball, for instance, the pitcher will often appear in more photos than other players; in football, it is the quarterback. Each sport is different and presents unique challenges to ensure good coverage of everyone on the team. We strive to shoot everyone that plays during the game, but it does not always work out.

What Sports Do You Shoot?

I've had extensive experience shooting football, hockey, basketball, and baseball and I'm happy to shoot any indoor or outdoor sporting event you request. I bring to bear the skill and equipment necessary to capture unforgettable images at any sporting event.

Why Lustre?

Lustre is a high-quality finish from FujiFilm which offers a perfect balance between glossy and matte. Lustre offers the fingerprint resistance of matte and the color saturation of glossy without the glare. We choose to offer only high-quality Lustre prints because we believe that it is the very best option in terms of color and durability.

Your photos are printed on Fujicolor Crystal Archive professional photographic paper, processed in professional Fuji Hunt Chemicals.
