When I was first asked to photograph a little league baseball team, I was hesitant; that's not really my thing. But I took it as a challenge and wanted to make them differently than your typical 'team' shot, which are typically boring and it shows. For this shot, I used a 3 light setup, with a key light directly in front and elevated, then had a flash on each side, slightly behind the players, acting as a sort of rim light to separate them from the background.

Mom, if you have a high school senior...you're in for a rough year. And you know that! There will be many "lasts" that happen this year, including the last game, the last time in a school uniform, the last championship. Many of my clients are high school seniors who play varsity sports and that is one of my favorite things to include for senior pictures! Don't let this opportunity slip by without getting some amazing senior pictures for your athlete.
