Looking for a kids soccer league photographer(s) - 08-14-2009, 11:20 AM


I need some help. A friend of a friend approached me about shooting soccer pics this year. I shoot the team playing every now and then and didn't think much of spending a little time shooting the individual and team shots so I said sure no problem Last night I figured out that they were talking about the local league (Hallettsville, TX). I'm not set up for that level of service. They want packages, group poses, and singles with varied poses. They want to be able to offer an order form, ahead of time obviously, to the parents and then once they order, deliver the packages. I am not sure how many kids will be involved. I would guess 80 -125.

If anyone is interested in doing this let me know (PM or here) and I'll give you a contact email address.

I was approached last year by a soccer league that has 300+ teams to do the same thing. I don't remember if my feet actually hit the ground when I ran to my car.

If a person or persons is set up for it then it's probably not a bad deal. I'm just not set up for that kind of business...

You are most welcome.
Doing that sort of job is a major undertaking: requires posers, backdrops sometimes, tents, lighting, benches, etc.
It can be very profitable but there's a pretty big inventory needed.
