The anatomy of a team photoshoot.

When it comes to team photoshoots, there is way more to it than meets the eye.


Follow along as we photograph 55 gymnasts from Summit Gymnastics over a four-hour period on Friday, February 23, 2024.

Parents: What to expect.


If your gymnast was photographed, you should have received an email with the link to your athlete's photos. I also emailed you the dates and deadlines for free shipping and when the album goes offline. Please check your spam filter if you did not receive this (or ask your significant other about the email.) Your athlete was also sent home with a QR code and photo information.


Below is a video I made to show behind-the-scenes from the day's photo shoot, so click on the video below to see how much fun we had.
