Our action photography utilizes high-end digital camera technology that allow us to produce photographic images nearly instantly. Our special printers can produce a high quality image on photographic paper in seconds, which allows us to deliver that image to the parent that same day. This is especially important for a sport like hockey. If you have ever tried to photograph hockey you understand how difficult it is, and what a difference a trained professional with professional gear makes.
We are based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, but have worked extensively shooting action photos at sport tournaments in this area and throughout the Midwest. While we cover primarily hockey and basketball, we have been invited to a wide variety of sporting events such as: baseball, hockey, soccer, and wrestling. Let us help make your event the best EXPERIENCE it can be!
Our specialty is youth league sports photos. Elite Photo is the premier youth sports photography in the area, photographing literally thousands of kids every year. Currently we provide sports photos for many YMCA’s, rec. centers and town-sponsored leagues. We have experience providing photos for leagues that are anywhere from 15 kids to 2000.
What makes Elite Photo so good? Simple. It’s what we do! While other photographers do sports to fill gaps as a sideline to their main business, Elite Photo does sports all year long for every sport. We know how to handle special circumstances because we’ve seen most of them already. For example: What if Dad forgot the envelope? We carry extras. What if Mom really wants photos but doesn’t have money with her? We take cash, check or credit cards; if this isn’t an option we will make arrangements for her to mail her order into the studio. All the parents need to do is fill out the order form, enclose a check for the full amount, and Elite Photo will do the rest.
We can provide enough staff to do all of the teams in a relatively short period of time. You will be surprised how smoothly our picture day runs, most days we actually run ahead of schedule. Our staff can photograph 4-5 teams an hour for each photographer on site. Make-ups are not a problem. In fact, our system is designed to handle make-ups with ease for the consumer and the league. Please call me for specific shooting info for your league. The best times for the upcoming seasons are booking right now so do not delay, we can only guarantee on time delivery if shooting is scheduled early enough in the season for each league.
If this isn’t enough to persuade you, the following pages have even more reasons that Elite Photo is #1 in Sports Photography.
