We recommend booking as early as possible. Team rosters and schedules should be submitted at least two weeks before photo day.

Parents pre-register using their team's gallery access code and receive a notification when images are ready. Our galleries are See Before You Buy, so there are no paper order forms or pre-order packages.

Organizations will receive an info link to share with parents at least two weeks prior to photo day. It will include dates and times along with the team access code. 

Teams & Team Banners

Once we begin, the process is fairly quick. On average, we will need approximately 1-2 minutes per player for the photoshoot regardless of whether a traditional or composite shoot is selected. If a virtual shoot is chosen there is no need for players to wait around after their photo. If a traditional team photo is chosen, we can decide to shoot this either before or after all the individual photos have been taken. Teams should be scheduled in 15-minute increments to keep everything moving smoothly and on time. 

Seniors

Allow at least 5 minutes for each senior photographed. 3 to 4 image poses are taken of each senior, and they will choose their preferred banner image on site. Banner image choice may not be changed after we leave the premises. Please schedule seniors in groups by their specific sport. 

Teams

All images will be uploaded to an online gallery in approximately 10-14 days. Parents will receive text and emails that their photos are ready to view and purchase. All orders are shipped direct to parents so no worries about getting them distributed.

Senior Banners

Banners will be delivered to the school usually within 10-14 days after photo day. They are shipped via FedEx and will require a signature of acceptance at the time of delivery.

Our online gallery offers a variety of affordable print packages, digital collections, specialty products, and à la carte items to fit every family's needs and budget starting at $28.

Because parents can view all images before purchasing, they only pay for the products they truly love.

Senior banners start at $60 and are available in a variety of sizes to fit your school's needs.

To maintain a consistent look, all banners for the same team or group must be ordered in the same size.

Prices below are for 13 oz. vinyl banners. They are also available in 15 and 18 oz. Get in touch for pricing.

Ordering & Payment

Senior banners are ordered and paid for in advance to reserve banner production. An online ordering link will be sent to coaches, athletic directors, or program directors to share with seniors and their families. The link will also include your online gallery access code.

For your convenience, cash or check payments will also be accepted on-site on photo day. Payment for senior banners is due on or before photo day.

Every senior banner includes:

• Professional senior banner photo session
• Multiple posing options
• On-site image selection
• Custom banner design featuring your school's colors and logo
• Premium 13 oz. vinyl banner with hemmed edges and grommets
• Free shipping directly to your school when ordered by the published deadline
• Online gallery with access code to view and purchase additional image poses.

Please note: Banner orders placed after the published order deadline will incur a $10 shipping fee per banner.

Custom banner sizes are also available upon request.

Most athletes require approximately 2–3 minutes for their individual session.

We recommend scheduling teams in 15–20 minute intervals, although larger rosters may require additional time.

What should athletes bring?

Athletes should arrive:

• In full game uniform
• With clean jerseys and equipment

Media Day can be held in a gymnasium, cafeteria, auditorium, field house, or any large indoor space with adequate room for our professional lighting and backdrop setup.

We arrive 90 minutes before the scheduled start time to complete setup.

Can traditional team photos be included?

Yes. We can photograph traditional team photos, virtual/composite team photos, or both, depending on your program's needs.

Will parents be able to purchase photos?

Yes. Once editing is complete, parents will receive an online gallery access code where they can purchase:

• Individual athlete images
• Professional prints
• Digital downloads
• Specialty photo products

All orders are placed online and shipped directly to each family's home.

When will graphics be delivered?

Delivery timelines vary depending on the scope of the project and the number of graphics requested. Most schools begin receiving completed media assets within 2–3 weeks after Media Day.

Who owns the images?

The athletic department receives high-resolution media files for school and athletic program marketing and promotional use.

Dana Leigh Photography retains the copyright to all images. Parents may purchase personal prints and digital downloads through the online gallery.

A makeup date may be scheduled if enough athletes are unable to attend. Senior banner makeup sessions require a minimum of five seniors.

If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we can reschedule for another day or move the session to an indoor location. We’ll stay in touch and make the best decision together.
