While Sideline Media specializes in youth and high school sports, we’re excited to capture memories at all levels, including little league, college, and adult non-professional sports. Please note that some restrictions may apply at the collegiate level due to NCAA and conference regulations, but we're happy to work with you to ensure you get the coverage you need.

Sideline Media covers a wide range of youth and high school sports, including football, basketball, soccer, baseball, track and field, cheer, dance, ballet, golf, archery, chess, and more. If your sport involves action, we’ve got you covered!

Absolutely yes! You can hire us to capture your child's game day action. However, we do need permission from the head coach to be on the sideline (there’s a bit more flexibility for soccer tournaments due to seating). If you can secure the coach's approval—and we’ll help provide resources to make that easier—we’d be thrilled to be there for you!

Absolutely! We’d be delighted to help you create a stunning individual portrait that showcases your personality in your uniform. Just book a session with us, and we’ll take care of the rest!

Booking is easy! Click here to complete and submit our contact form, and we will get back to you ASAP! We recommend booking as early as possible to secure your spot.

You bet! These personalized videos make fantastic gifts for family members who can’t attend every game. Please note that our video production services require a commitment to photograph and video at least three games to ensure we capture the best moments.

Absolutely! We’re excited to support your athlete’s journey to collegiate sports. Highlight videos are crucial for recruiting profiles—they attract over ten times more traffic than profiles without videos. A professionally produced highlight video is essential to capture the attention of college coaches. Trust us, this isn’t a task for your iPhone or a favor from a neighbor; it needs our professional touch to stand out!

We offer various packages tailored to your needs. Pricing depends on the type of coverage or photographs you need. Simply click the "Get in Touch" button at the top of this page and we will be glad to contact you to discuss your needs and our pricing.

Game day photos are typically uploaded within 24 hours, and team and individual portraits are available shortly after the session, following any necessary editing. On average, portraits are available in your online gallery within 2 weeks following your team's mdX.

Whether you’re a team or an individual, finding your photos is easy—click here to visit the Client Galleries page on our website, where we provide direct links to your galleries.

We encourage you to share the special memories we capture with your friends and family! You can share watermarked images directly from our online galleries on social media. If you prefer to share images without the watermark, those will need to be purchased. Additionally, some of our services and packages include a limited number of free downloads specifically for social media use. You’re also welcome to share our posts from Facebook and Instagram that may feature your athlete.

Yes, through Real Intelligence, we professionally edit and retouch all photos (including game day photos) to ensure they look their best. Real Intelligence means we practice the art of using a combination of tools, AI, and creative people to deliver enhanced quality, faster turnaround times, and huge cost savings. Special requests are also welcome. Additional fees may apply.

Remember that one of our core values is "We want you to absolutely, freakin' LOVE your photos!" If you’re not happy with your photos, we’ll work with you to make adjustments where possible, even retaking them when necessary. For complete details, please review our Terms of Sale.

We offer both prints and social media-sized digital downloads, depending on the services that are selected. We do not offer full-sized high resolution downloads in any package.

At Sideline Media, we believe that portraits are meant to be printed and cherished, not just stored on a small screen. While we do offer social media-sized downloads in some services for easy online sharing, we don’t offer full-resolution digital downloads.

The reason is simple—we’re committed to delivering only the best. The printers we work with take great care in producing the highest quality prints, hand-retouching every image to ensure the colors, details, and overall quality are flawless. When you choose Sideline Media, you’re getting more than a photo—you’re getting a professionally crafted memory that’s designed to be proudly displayed for years to come.

And if you have a special product in mind that you’d love to see with your athlete’s photo, just reach out to us! While we can’t list every product we offer due to space limitations, there’s a good chance we can get exactly what you’re looking for. We’re committed to helping you create a lifelong memory that you and your loved ones will cherish.

No. The social media-sized downloads that we offer in our services and packages are not print quality resolution and do not include a print release.

We are proud to partner with Miller's Professional Imaging in Kansas and White House Custom Colour (WHCC) in Minnesota. Both labs are renowned in the professional photography community and have decades of experience. Depending on the specific product you order, we choose the lab that best suits the printing requirements to ensure top-quality results.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes! We offer an extensive range of custom products to celebrate your athlete’s achievements, including banners, posters, trading cards, and photo books. Not all items may be visible in your online gallery, but through our partnerships, we’re equipped to provide a vast array of options like cards, calendars, ornaments, key chains, water bottles, coffee mugs, wall art, buttons, magnets, and much more.

The possibilities are virtually limitless—just let us know how you’d like to preserve and cherish these memories!

No, the orange initial signature in the bottom right corner is our “Artist’s Signature,” not the watermark. We view our photographs as art pieces, and each one is signed with our initials (SM) as a mark of authenticity. The actual watermark, which is lettering stating “Purchase to Remove Watermark,” is removed from all purchased photos, whether downloaded or printed.

We understand these situations can be disappointing, but athlete playing time is determined by the coach and is out of our control. Game day session fees are non-refundable. However, they can be transferred to another game if Sideline Media is notified at least 72 hours in advance by email or if we are unable to attend the scheduled game.

Yes, we provide design services as an add-on to any of our picture packages, whether game day or portraits, and we’d be delighted to create a high-quality ad that showcases your senior for any occasion. We can include additional photos provided they meet the necessary file and size specifications.

We are sorry, but no. All of our photos are copyrighted and purchasing our photos does not grant design rights, so you would not be able to use our images to design the ad yourself.
