Sports Action Shots on MaxPreps
For the past few months I have been shooting for MaxPreps as a freelance photographer. As a freelance photographer I am able to shoot any high school sports games. On average, I shoot between 3-5 games a week. For the fall season I have shot boy's water polo, girl's volleyball, and football. If you have a son or daughter that is playing and would like photos, please make sure you contact me and let me know their number so that I can get photos of your child. All of the sports action shots will be available on MaxPreps to purchase.

To purchase a photo, simply click on the Buy Photo button on the top right corner. This will add the photo to your shopping cart. Once you are done choosing the photos that you would like to purchase click on the checkout button.
You will then be directed to the checkout page to choose the size of file that you would like to purchase. It automatically chooses the medium digital file which is $15.99, however you can change it to a small or large digital. If you plan on printing the image I would recommend the medium size if you plan on printing a 4x6 or 5x7. If you only plan on using it on social media, the smaller file works. Once you purchase the image you will be sent an email with information on how to download the image.
Extra little Tip:
**Tip: If you would like to view photos that your player has been tagged in, you can view them by clicking on the roster and click on their name. Click on the Photos tab under their stats and you can view the images that they are tagged in, however, not all players are tagged in all of the photos.
