Next Level Athlete Sessions
These aren’t your ordinary sports photos.
Give your athlete the spotlight with bold, cinematic portraits designed to capture their strength, personality and passion.
November 13-14, 2026
More Than A Sports Photo
Next Level Athlete is an individual portrait experience created for athletes who deserve to be seen as more than another face in the team photo. Using professional lighting, dramatic fog and action-inspired posing, we’ll create powerful images that look like they belong in a national sports campaign. Whether your athlete plays soccer, football or basketball—or participates in dance, gymnastics, cheer or another activity—this experience is designed around them.
Two Sets
Every athlete will be photographed on both sets during their session.
THE FOG EXPERIENCE
Colored light, atmospheric fog and powerful posing combine to create dramatic portraits filled with energy and intensity.
THE NEW LIGHT BAR EXPERIENCE
A modern, high-impact portrait set featuring illuminated light bars customized to complement your athlete’s uniform, costume or personality.
Your Next Level Session Includes
A 20-minute individual portrait session
Both the dramatic fog and light-bar experiences
Professional direction and athlete-focused posing
An online gallery of fully edited images
A $125 gallery credit toward digital images, prints or photo products
SESSION FEE: $175
The full session fee is paid when reserving your appointment. Your $125 gallery credit will be provided after your images are ready and can be applied toward the photographs and products you love most.
Make It Yours
Athletes should arrive dressed and ready in their uniform, costume or favorite athletic look.
Bring the equipment and accessories that help tell their story—such as a ball, bat, helmet, gloves, medals, dance shoes, cleats, pads or other meaningful equipment or props. We’ll help with posing and guide your athlete throughout the entire experience.
