MEDIA DAY

First, I want to thank you for your interest in JHP Sports, by Jennifer Helmka. Over the past nine years, I have built a unique sports team experience based on what I saw lacking with conventional sports photos: PASSION! As a former athlete and now Mom to three athletes from kindergarten to college-age, I have found that conventional photos just do not portray the passion, the grit, the emotion, the strength that these athletes possess. I’ve made it my mission to photograph them in a way that reflects the level of dedication that is expected of them.

Not only that , but I believe that team media day shouldn’t be something that Athletic Directors and Coaches should have to handhold parents through. JHP will take care of the scheduling, parent communication and details on “how to prepare”. Once your media day is booked, all you will need to do is share the info provided.

Below is an overview of the JHP Team Media Day Experience. Our goal is to make every single athlete look and feel like a professional. This is something I am passionate about and it shows in every image I take. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to showing you why 1000+ athletes have chosen me to photograph them doing what they love!

Thank you so much,

My ultimate goal is to provide you with an amazing team experience

that reflects the passion of your athletes.

Guaranteed School Perks:

FREE high-quality vinyl, all-weather team banners. The size is determined by the athletic facility and where the athletic department would like to hand it. I frequently print them in sizes 4’x7’ or larger!

$40 senior banners. Typically the cost is $45 each.

The school will be given access to all digital files I take, including team photo, senior banner, individual images from each athlete. These files may be used for social media, yearbooks and sports programs.

Game day graphics and special awards graphics for social media use.

I provide all material to make Media Day successful, including handouts and posters for hanging around school.

MEDIA DAY

How Does it Work?

1. Prior to media day, I will talk with the coach and AD to decide the time and location. Afternoon/evening light is preferred for outdoor shots, but are completely flexibe to the teams needs. We also may want to schedule a rain date in the event of severely inclement weather. The goal will be to photograph teams 2-3 weeks prior to the season to ensure all banners are up for the first home game. All parents will decide on Option 1 or 2 on our website. A link will be sent to the school and handouts will be given to coaches 2-3 weeks prior to media day.

2. We start media day by taking banner photos, senior banner photos, and headshots indoors. These photos will be taken on a solid color background. JHP will decide the poses for these images with the exception of senior banners. These images will be included in the gallery for anyone that chooses Option 1 or 2.

3. After all Option 1 photos have been taken, we begin the fun and creative part of media day. Each athlete who has paid for Option 2 will be given 3 poses of their choice in addition to the images that I have already taken. These photos are more creative and will feature your stadium, gym or the use of in camera lighting effects. Poses are completely up to the athlete and may be individual or buddy poses. (Coaches join in on the fun as well!)

4. Within two weeks, all photos will be delivered through an online gallery to the Athletic Director, coach, school/team boosters and registered parents/athletes. We will ask that coaches make sure the gallery link is shared with parents as well. Game day graphics will also be included in the gallery if requested, as well as any special awards graphics needed for social media.

Options

Option 1 — $25

You just want to make sure your athlete is in the team photo or gets their photo for their banner. This one is just for you. This option gives parents the digital file of their athlete as well as the team banner, senior banner and any additional poses shot on the solid background.

Option 2 — $75

In addition to everything offered in option 1, option 2 athletes will be given 3 poses of their choice around the stadium, field, gym or studio. Poses are completely up to the athlete and may be buddy or individual poses. These digital files will be delivered in the same gallery with print release.
