The lowdown on Banner Day photoshoots

Overview: we take individual photos of each player on a green screen,  choose the photos for use in the team banner, and composite those chosen images into the team design. Families may also order prints if they wish.

Before March 7-9

Schedule a photo session

  1. Choose an open time March 7-9th HERE
  2. Please plan to arrive 10 minutes early
  3. Each session is 10-15 minutes

Preparing for your session

  • Wear your pinstripe uniform with orange belt, orange socks & cleats
  • Optionally, bring your bat, glove, helmet, and catchers gear
  • Think about any fastpitch poses you'd like to try (this is also optional)
  • Practice your intimidating AND smiling expressions!

The Photo Session

What to expect during your Photo Session

  • Allan will discuss the process with you (Spoilers below!)
  • We will take several photos
    • Multiple poses
    • Smiling and serious versions of each pose
    • With and without your props (bats, gloves, etc.)
    • Incorporating your pose ideas

Viewing your photo proofs and making your selections

  • We are expecting to have a few minutes during your session to preview your photos
  • If you are unable to proof onsite, we can arrange an online gallery
    • UPDATE: as of March 16, I have uploaded all the proofs to private galleries and started to send out emails with links & passwords. Most have already selected favorites, but you can now view them for fun or alternate pose orders
  • You can select your favorites and we will attempt to use one of those favorites in the team banner and family orders
  • This step is optional: we can make the selections if you prefer

Family Photo Orders

Ordering Photos

  • You may order composite photos using the team banner design
  • By default, these prints will use the serious expression selected for the team banner (upgrades to alternate poses available)
  • Order online or with a paper form (available at the Velocity Training Center)
  • Print, button, and magnet prices are staying the same as in 2023 and 2024; alternate image upgrades have increased to $20
  • NEW! This year, we are testing the sale of Memory Mate and Individual digital files (with permission to make your own prints).

Special Launch Pricing

  • Launch discounts return as well this year on Bundles, Prints, Buttons, Magnets, and the Alternate Pose Preparation upgrade (does not apply to digital file purchases)
  • Available until March 23rd (I reserve the option of extending it a bit further)
  • During this time frame, shipping is waived and the total with tax is equal to regular pricing before tax
    • For example, Bundle A is regularly $62.75 ($50 plus $2.75 sales tax and $10 shipping), but is $50 total during the launch ($47.39 plus $2.61 sales tax and $0 shipping)
    • Online orders may be a couple cents more or less due to automatic tax calculations

Paper order forms with launch pricing are available at the Velocity Training Center.

Planning and Preparations

Outfits & Props: You can wear uniforms and fastpitch gear, outfits related to another sport or hobby, or your favorite clothing. Mix it up with jersey & jeans or a dress with bat & ball. It's your call!

Image Types: We can focus on dramatic lighting, smoke & colored lights, or some of each. Check out the sample sportraits for a few potential looks.

Poses: Your ideas are welcome, but no pressure! I'll be prepared to coach you through various poses & looks if you prefer.

Consultations: Our time on the 29th and 30th will be limited, but feel free to reach out to me and arrange a discussion in the weeks before the photo-sessions. I would be glad to plan out your portrait session ahead of time!
