Rates and Services
Whatever your photography needs are, don't hesitate to contact me and we can arrange a custom package to suit your individual needs. Or you can choose from the following packages:
**A note about how the "player packages" work and delivery times**
With some sports photography services, images will be offered almost immediately during an event for sale. They will be uploaded to a computer where the customer can pick and select their images and have them delivered right away. The disadvantage to this system is there is no editing whatsoever. The images are shot in jpg format and you pretty much “get what you see”.
What I offer is a completely different, more customized product. After a large event, I might have anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 images. These are shot in RAW format. (Similar to what we used to have as “negatives”). Once the event is over, I will go over literally every single image to “cull” and sort, to wind up with only the best images. Once I’ve sorted these into individual player groups, I will then go through and pick the “best of the best” and then manually edit each and every photo, adjusting for crop, straightening, colour, exposure, and sharpness. Only then will I offer the final image to you, the client.
I will email you a link to your own private gallery, that only you have access to. You can share this gallery with friends and family, as well as download the images onto your own device, where you can keep, share, or make your own prints from.
The downside is this all takes time, but your final images will be worth it in the end. Please allow up to two weeks for delivery of your individual player packages. These memories will last a lifetime, the wait is worth it.
Team Photo Day
Arrange to have your team photo day, complete with individual player photos, custom backdrops, trading cards, custom group photos, and of course the official 'Team Photo". This is at no cost to the team and individual packages start at just $39.95, which includes an 8x10 team photo print and a 5x7 individual print. Check out the team photo day from HDC Hockey
Sporting & Corporate Events
Event packages include high-res digital photos of your entire event. All photos will be made available for later viewing online. They include action shots, candid shots, and requested group shots. For full-day events, will include live-update social media shots throughout the event.
Half-Day or Evening events. Minimum Charge (Up to 4 hours) $500
Full day (tournaments, corporate events, etc. 8-hour day) $800
Weekend Rate (Two 8-hour days) $1500
Single Game (20-30 exciting action shots of individual players) $350
Multiple games/Same day (per game) $250
Individual Athlete Packages:
Pre-ordering an "individual package" will guarantee 6-10 full-res digital photos of the athlete in action. These can be used to make your own high-quality prints. They come with a “personal license” to the photos, so they can be used on social media or shared with friends and family.
Single athlete $150
Multiple players (price per player) $100
Full Roster (price per player) $75
The “Scouting” Package
The scouting package is an important portfolio for those elite athletes hoping to garner attention from scouts and prospective teams. In addition to the same high-rez photos of the individual package, the Scouting Package, more importantly, will come with a “commercial license” so that their photos may be given to scouts, scouting websites, or other teams for press releases and roster pics. It’s important to note that taking social media screenshots and giving these to organizations for public use is against copyright laws. Most reputable organizations will require properly licensed, high-rez photos of your athlete before they will use or publish them. Along with the action shots, your package will come with a clear headshot of the athlete, without their helmet or cage, for their own scouting portfolio.
Single athlete $250
2-4 (price per player) $150
Corporate Headshots (On Location)
This includes up to a half-hour of shooting with a custom backdrop and two softboxes, and your choice of 2-4 high-res images, suitable for LinkedIn or any corporate website. Prints can be later ordered online.
Single person $150
2-4 (price per person) $100
Pet Photography
Basic Package: $150
This package includes 30-60 minutes of shooting time at a suitable agreed-upon location. I find an off-leash park such as Sue Higgins Dog Park provides the best opportunities, as your beloved fur-baby can be in their natural environment; running free for fun action shots. It also provides many areas with lovely backdrops and can be quite private. Your session will include up to 10 standard-sized digital images that will be custom edited.
Premier Package: $300
This package will include all of the features of the basic package but in addition, will include more advanced photography skills, such as off-camera flash strobe lighting, and will include a framed 8x10 print of your choice.
