Yes! Your session fee includes an online gallery where you will download your digital images. I've tailored packages towards the popularity of digital images for social media, etc.
Prints are also available - everything from 5x7s to large vinyl banners. If you don't see what you are looking for, let me know and I can usually find it for you. These items are purchased a la carte.

I have always loved sports! I worked for a minor league baseball team in high school and college, and for App State University Recreation (intramurals and club sports) for the 4 years I was there. Photography came later, I started in natural light family portraits. I still do some of those for close friends.
I love photographing sports and athletes because -
Whether it was a tough loss or the best game of your career, looking back at the photo evidence of how hard you fought is meaningful. Do you hate photo sessions? Awesome. Showing up unshowered and glaring at the camera actually makes for a better athlete portrait. I can work with that.
