FAQs - Team Sports Images Frequently Asked Questions
ADDRESSING COVID-19
AM I REQUIRED TO WEAR A FACE MASK OR CLOTH FACE COVERING?
Effective June 26, 2020, a statewide order requires individuals to wear a face covering in indoor public spaces such as stores, offices and restaurants. The order also requires face coverings when you can't stay 6 feet apart from others.
Please see ADDRESSING COVID-19 for more detail on how we are responding to this unprecedented public health crisis.
CAN I PRINT THE IMAGES I RECEIVE?
Almost every package includes a digital download option of the images, so that if you really want to order prints yourself, you may! Good Luck!
That said, we caution that not all prints are created equal. A lot of places will print things with strange looking colors, greenish casts, too much contrast, and just in general they wont turn out the way they are intended. We’ve spent countless hours getting images to look a specific way. Poor printing can reverses all that work. That said, we always recommend that you order prints through me if you want to make sure they come out exactly like we intended. We send everyone an online gallery with their images, and you can order prints at any time, in any size, in any paper, and they all come with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee or your money back!

DO YOU HAVE BACKUPS?
Yes! We shoot to two different cards in each camera, so we immediately have a back-up of your images right from the start. These are copied to a RAID5 array of 5 network attached hard drives where the images are again duplicated across all of them twice in case one or two of them fail at any time. We also put my in-progress work on one more additional offline drive that is backed up to the cloud, In the event we haven’t finished your photos they are located in a variety of different places just in case something goes terribly wrong!
DO YOU CARRY INSURANCE?
Yes, absolutely! Our equipment is insured and we also have a liability insurance policy. We’re happy to provide you with this information upon request.
NOTE: We HIGHLY recommend you ask us, or any other photographer you’re considering to see this for yourself!
CAN I POST MY IMAGES ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
Absolutely, please do! We love it when people share their images online with friends and family! However, if you do share them, make sure to give me photo credit and include a link back to my photography page within whatever platform you are using.

WHY IS AN 8 x 10 PRINT $25.00-$30.00, WHEN PRINTS CAN BE MADE AT MY LOCAL, LARGE WAREHOUSES FOR A JUST A COUPLE DOLLARS?
Team Sports Images use a professional print lab that specializes in printing. The paper we utilize is an ‘archival’, high quality paper that has a 75-year life. It’s also important to be reminded the cost of the print is just one part of the overall costs that we use to determine our prices. There are production costs, labor and additional overhead that go into determining the prices we charge.
WHY ARE DIGITAL IMAGES MORE THEN PRINTS?
With a digital image we provide you with the ability to print as many copies as you want in any size. We believe it provides more value than a single print.
CAN I GET RAW, UNEDITED PHOTOS FROM MY SESSION?
Sorry, but no. we never provide unedited or raw images.
Though it may not seem like a big deal to send raw photos, you’ll actually be hard pressed to find a photographer who’s OK with doing so. The main reason, and this is true for myself, is that each photographer’s editing technique plays just as big of a role in their aesthetic as snapping the images themselves. And though the editing process can certainly be long-winded, it’s one of my favorite parts of the job.
