Elevate your season with our individual, team and group session options — each crafted to highlight individuality, inspire confidence, and give the athletes photos that truly stand out.

The Athlete Spotlight Session

A quick, high-impact studio session designed to create bold, cinematic sports portraits in just 20 minutes.

Perfect for an individual athlete who wants standout images for social media, recruiting profiles, and personal keepsakes.

What our athletes bring to their sessions:

  • Full gameday uniform (including sport-specific footwear)

  • Equipment (helmet, pads, bat, stick, etc.)

  • Optional alternate look (hoodie, warmups, letter jacket, favorite kicks)

  • Gameday energy!

The Team Media Day Session

A full-media day experience for the entire squad.

Every athlete gets individual and grade-level photos, plus a team shot — all delivered digitally for all to share on social media. Plus, each senior is celebrated with their own personalized banner.

The Seniors-Only Session

Celebrate your graduating athletes like the stars they are.

Dynamic portraits and action-inspired poses, senior group shots — images to share and treasure, and a personalized banner for each senior.

In-Studio & On-Location Options

All rGRAYphotography team and group sessions can be photographed either in-studio or on-location, depending on the needs of the program.

Our dedicated studio environment allows for precise lighting, custom set designs, and a controlled workflow that delivers consistent, high-impact imagery. On-location sessions bring the energy and identity of the team’s home environment into the imagery, incorporating gyms, fields, courts, or turf.

Both options are designed to deliver polished, cinematic results while keeping the experience efficient and professional for athletes, coaches, and families alike.
