Here’s What to Expect from Your Sports Senior Pictures
Once you book your session the first thing we do is talk about what sport/s you play, your position, and we go over some ideas. We then plan your shoot. I’m a sports junkie so I know most sports and I have many ideas already on deck. If I don’t know the sport or the position, I start to google and look on Pinterest for ideas. I am also good friends with lots of the top sports senior photographers in the country and we are always bouncing ideas off of each other. One big tip… if you have an idea in mind PLEASE share it! I will add an image I created with Spencer’s vision. It was everyone’s favorite from his senior sports shoot!
Planning for your sports senior pictures
You will need your uniform… and yes… even your cleats! We try to make our pictures look as real as possible. If you don’t have your uniform reach out to your coach, I can reach out to your coach too. Most coaches are super cool with letting you borrow your uniform for a shoot. Ok… one important thing about your uniform. Can you please iron it or throw it in the dryer for a few minutes before the shoot? I’m especially looking at the guys on this one, lol. If you play with swag on the field… show it in your pictures! We can also add some accessories to your shoot… we have some dark visors and some thick chains for the picture.
Senior pictures on green screen or on the field
We are known for our green screen work but we can also go to your field and get some amazing pictures on location. When we use the green screen it’s all about visualizing what you are doing and going all out! If you give me full effort you will LOVE your pictures. Practice how you play right…. The same is true for your pictures. Once we shoot your images on green screen I get the computer and go to town! I start creating/selecting backgrounds that will compliment your energy and style. It’s important to come in with the mentality that you are going to give it your all!
Lighting
A lot of people tell us they love our pictures but they can’t always explain why. The main reason our pictures stand out is because of our lighting. We make sure to light all of our subjects in ways that will make the pictures pop. We have mastered our lighting through many years of work and that is why our pictures stand out from the rest. I use anywhere from 0 to 5 lights on any given shoot to make it work. Each picture is different depending on how I am visualizing the final picture to look.
Viewing and ordering session for your sports senior pictures
Once we are done shooting and editing we book a viewing/ordering session. This is where you get to see your images for the first time and you get to order your favorite images.
Sharing your images online
Whatever images you buy you will receive in a web-ready format. This will allow you to show off your pictures on social media! Please tag me when you put them online.
