We are finalizing the location schedule for individual and team sessions. Please email by Monday if you have a specific request. Location schedules will be published next week.
If you are interested in a fundraiser for your team, please contact me.
Details:
Sessions are fun, relaxed, and natural. Candid shots of your athlete or team at play, in the moment, celebrating a great play and the love of the game. Please browse the galleries to see examples of my work.
How is a session reserved?
To schedule a session, simply send me a email indicating your preferred date and location, and contact information. I will call you to schedule and confirm.
Time-of-day is important!
All of my images are created using only available, natural light. The best light in is early in the morning or late in the day. Overcast and light rain are acceptable conditions. (If the game is still being played, I am still taking photos!)
What should I wear?
Team uniform. Don’t worry about stains from clay, grass, etc. –it adds to the authenticity of the images. Some parents choose to have athletes wear Spring ball uniforms. Please discuss with coach in advance or schedule a shoot during a team practice.
What if I have to reschedule?
Please give as much notice as possible. Life happens and we try to be as flexible as possible. There are a very limited number of slots available and we would like to honor all requests.
Location Schedule:
**Please note** All sessions must be booked in advance. Contact catherine@theplayofalifetime for more information and scheduling.
