Sports Media Day Photography for Kansas Teams

A sports media day is a dedicated photography session where a professional photographer comes to your school, gym, or facility and photographs every athlete individually in a single event. Each athlete gets a short portrait session (typically five to ten minutes) producing bold, professional images used for banners, posters, social media, game programs, and athlete spotlights. Media days are organized to move through a full roster efficiently without disrupting practice schedules or pulling athletes away from their facility.

If you are ready to book or want to see full pricing and packages, visit the Media Day and Sports Photography page. This guide is for coaches, athletic directors, and parents who want to understand how media days work before they reach out.

Bold athlete portraits, team photos, and banner-ready images for high schools, club teams, and youth programs across Northeast Kansas. We come to you.

Perfect For…

  • No we bring the real deal. The fog, the rain, the snow, and the lighting. We want your athletes to feel excited about seeing it happen right in front of their eyes.

  • That depends on the kind of session. With an on location team session you can expect us to spend about an hour an and a half to two hours. We do require set up and tear down time as well (if reserving a space.)

    When booking an individual athlete session you can expect about 40 minutes.

  • If you are paying ahead for your session (on location or for our individual student session in the studio) your session comes with a full gallery of images.

    When we are doing teams on location we want to get a couple of individual shots, some fun shots, and some buddy shots. You can expect to have about 10 images per student.

    For teams doing the studio no up front payment session we photography only individual students and you can expect about 5-10 images.

    We always try to get you as many images as we can! We have fun with these shoots too!

  • We absolutely can for an additional charge. We typically like to know that you want that ahead of time because we shoot certain poses for those specific items.

  • Great question. We get it.. it is an additional cost on top of an expensive sport. We suggest doing the no obligation session in the studio. That way everyone gets their photo and your team and pay for a composite group photo. That way you get photos of the entire team without individuals having to. Galleries will watermarked images will be sent out to purchase items after the shoot.

  • We know you want to get your hands on this photos as quickly as possible. Often you are needing banners and content for quickly approaching matches and tournaments. We work to have your galleries to you with in seven days.

  • We are located in Holton KS and travel with in Northeast KS. A small travel fee may apply depending on travel distances.

  • I like to have a call prior to the session to make sure achieve all of your visions and needs. Prior, think about how you will use your images. Some schools have themed games and incorporating those into the media day means having the right props (American flag, cowboy hat, starwars, Pink out…etc) We also like to encourage teams to have a conversation with their teams about what to bring (full gear, color of jersey (if not all of them!), color of socks, how hair will be done, and any sport accessories you want in your shots. Encourage the athletes to think about their poses and what they want to do prior to the shoot… their ideas are often our favorites.
