Our Process
Our photography process is a bit different than others. Please take a moment to be sure we're on the same page:

We don't cut down trees
Our entire process is paperless, with no order forms, handouts, and other paperwork that needs to be distributed and remembered on photo day. To reserve your place and pay for the photo shoot, just visit our website, fill out the form, and pay online. That's it. Just show up to photo day and we'll have your information and payment record.
We're a pre-paid service
We charge a flat fee of $30 per athlete to photograph them, paid in advance of photo day. This covers the cost of our equipment, photographers, and time to edit the photos. In return, you receive 3 high-resolution digital files that you can share view via email, social media, etc. We do not photograph athletes who have not paid in advance, as we depend on the payment to pay for our equipment, photographers, and all the expenses associated with the photo shoot.
Prints are ordered separately
Prints are not included in the $30 fee. If you want to order prints, you have several options. First, download your high-resolution digital files from our gallery, then upload them to your favorite printing service (we recommend BayPhoto, but there are dozens to choose from). There you can order prints at any size and quantities you wish, and pay regular retail prices (LifeTouch charges $18.99 for one 8x10 and $39.99 for each digital file - you'll save a lot with our system).
A second option is to order the prints directly from our gallery. We'll send them directly to BayPhoto or Richmond Color at the same price with no markup. Your prints will be mailed directly to you.
In short, we do not make any profit on prints - our entire process is paid for by the individual photo fee of $30 per athlete.

Your photos will be available in about 7 days
Once we're done with your photo shoot, we begin editing the photos. Each photo is edited individually to adjust colors, brightness, contrast, cropping, etc. Once your team or league's photos are finished, they will be placed in an online password-protected gallery, and we will send you a link to view and download them.
We place all of your team or league photos in the same team/league gallery with one password. The password is not made available publicly, and only shared with your team or league. If you do not want your photo to appear in the gallery, please let us know in advance and we will email your photos to you directly instead. If you want your photos removed from the gallery after it has been shared, just let us know.
