Preparing your Athletes for Picture Day

If Sunshine Lens is going to capture your athlete’s team and Individual portraits, know that the experience is going to be friendly, and fun!

When it comes to picture day, the key is to keep your child relaxed and natural in front of the camera. So, there’s no need to constantly remind them to smile, stand tall, or keep their eyes open. In fact, these instructions can sometimes make the process worse, as it puts pressure on your young athlete to be perfect instead of just being themselves. Rest assured, as photographers, we strive to capture those natural and genuine smiles that you desire. If you have any specific instructions or requests, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I want to ensure that your athlete’s photos reflect their unique personality and style.

Uniforms are an important factor for picture day. Dress in freshly laundered uniforms and make sure all pieces are accounted for. Although we may have prop balls or items available, it’s always a good idea to bring your own, just in case. Remember that full-body photos will be taken, so please ensure that proper socks and footwear are being worn.

If your have siblings or buddy athletes who are also on the same team or being photographed on the same day, We are more than happy to capture a sibling/buddy photo as well. Just let us know when it’s your child’s turn, and we can arrange it accordingly. Typically, sibling photos are taken during the younger child’s turn.

We’re here to make picture day a smooth and enjoyable experience for both you and your child. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. We are looking forward to capturing these beautiful memories!
