Most league photos are one pose against one backdrop, taken once and forgotten. This season there are two parts. Picture day gives every player portraits worth framing, and a buddy shot with the friend they'll remember from this team. Game day captures what they came for: the serve, the dig, the celebration after the point.
The club picks one of two options and sets the team schedule. Every team gets a team photo. Families buy portraits: pay day-of by card or cash, or prepay before picture day. No appointment needed.
One team parent emails the match date and court. A payment link holds the date. The gallery link goes to every family within 48 hours.
Edited, high-resolution digital photos in a private gallery to download, print and post.
The club picks how picture day is paid for: a one-time session fee, or nothing at all, with families covering it through their portrait orders.
Two studio sets in the gym. A dark set with haze and court light, and a clean white set.
A schedule for every team. Teams rotate through on times the club sets.
Payments handled for you. Families pay me directly, so the club has nothing to collect.
Day-of payment by card or cash. Prepay available before picture day.
Added to any individual order. Same payment options.

My name is Mike Thezier (pronounced tez-ee-ay). I'm a photographer and videographer based in Temecula, and I shoot athletes in their actual training and competition spaces, from community college volleyball to local gyms. I'm also an ISSA-certified personal trainer.
That's how most teams do it. One parent books and collects, and every family gets the full gallery.
No. Show up at your team's scheduled time in uniform.
Option 1 if the club has a budget and wants every family to get the team photo. Option 2 if the club would rather pay nothing and let families buy what they want.
No. Your athlete is in the team photo either way. With the parent-funded option, the team photo comes with the portrait package.
Game day galleries arrive within 48 hours of the match.
