🏆 What We Do

Scholar Images provides high-quality sports photography for schools and leagues across Albany and the Capital Region.

Our job is simple:
✅ Make photo day smooth for your coaches and directors
✅ Give parents standout images they actually want to buy
✅ Deliver everything fast, without extra work on your end

📸 What’s Included

  • On-location photo day:
    We come to your field or gym and photograph at least 4 teams in one session.
    We bring our own professional lights, backdrops, and posing stands.

  • Individual athlete portraits:
    Every athlete is photographed on a clean backdrop. We then extract them and place them on custom sports-themed digital backgrounds — giving parents modern, professional images.

  • Team photos created from individual shots:
    We build sharp, well-composed team photos by merging individual images.
    This means if someone misses photo day, they can still be added in later.

  • Fast online galleries:
    Parents get a direct link to view and order. Galleries typically go live within 3–5 days, and orders ship straight to their home.

  • No cost to your program:
    Parents purchase prints, banners, and downloads online. Your league or teams pay nothing.

🏠 Studio Option for Individual Teams

Don’t have space at your field or gym?
Individual teams can come right to our studio at 22 Colvin Ave, Albany NY 12206.
We’ll handle everything in a controlled setting, with the same lights and sports-themed backgrounds.

📑 What We’ll Need From You

  • A CSV roster file with:
    ✅ Player first & last name
    ✅ Team name
    ✅ Jersey number
    ✅ Parent email

  • A location where we can set up our backdrop and lights.
    We’ll need access 1–1.5 hours before start time to prep.

  • Help getting the schedule out so teams show up on time.

🚀 Ordering & What Parents Get

  • Parents can purchase digital downloads, prints, memory mates, and custom banners.

  • Orders start around $27, with all payments and shipping handled online — so there’s nothing for you to collect or manage.

✅ Why Programs Love It

  • Zero hassle: We handle the scheduling, photo day flow, and all ordering.

  • Professional look: Images that stand out from the usual snapshot team photos.

  • Fast turnaround: Galleries live in days, not weeks.

  • Flexible: Great for leagues on location or teams coming into the studio.

⚠️ Next Steps

  • Once we’ve talked through your teams, schedule, and any special needs, we’ll send over a simple contract to lock in your photo day.

  • From there, we’ll handle everything — from prepping your rosters and building your online galleries to guiding parents on how to order.

  • You can focus on your season while we take care of the details.
