Sports Photography & Team Photos

Sports photographers capture team photos, action shots, and individual portraits for youth sports selling prints and packages to parents.

With 45M+ youth in sports and parents buying memories, photography generates revenue of $95,000-$350,000 with 60-75% margins on packages and prints.

The business requires professional camera equipment, fast lenses, photo editing software, printing partnership or equipment, and action photography skills.

Services include team and individual photos, action shots during games, tournament photography, senior athlete portraits, photo packages and prints, and online ordering systems.

Pricing typically $50-$150 per family for packages with print upsells.

Success factors include fast-action photography skills, efficient workflow processing hundreds of athletes, online ordering convenience for parents, print sales margins, and booking entire leagues or tournaments.

Most operate seasonally across sports.

Marketing focuses on youth sports leagues, tournament organizers, and volume booking.

With parents eager for sports photos in 2025, sports photography offers capturing opportunities with seasonal peaks.
