A message from the photographer:

We need your help to ensure picture day is timely, successful, and fun!

• Time: Arrive 15 minutes early to your scheduled time with your completed order form and payment in hand.
• Weather: Check the weather. If we anticipate wind, bring a hair tie or choose a hair style that "works" best in the wind. In case of cold, choose clothing that is easily removed, outside of the uniforms. Bulky undershirts can make for less than pleasing photos.
• Shirts: Most children are photographed with shirts tucked in. Please make sure your child's shirt is tucked in before you arrive.
• Sunscreen: If possible, try to avoid overdoing the sunscreen on faces before photos. We want to avoid the children looking too glossy.
• Hats: Please try to resize hats to exactly the right size before arrival to photos. Younger players will often have hats adjusted too large/small, pushing the ears down in the photo.
• Team Photos: Try to avoid attracting attention to yourself by yelling at the kids while the team shot is taken. Too often, the kids will look away while we are taking the team shot when this happens. We want all the kids looking at the photographer as much as possible.
• Cameras: Please, no cameras within 20 feet of the photo area. Kids will often get confused as to whom they need to look at while the photographer is working. Also, our camera flashes will misfire, as they can be acctivated by external flashes firing simultaneously.
