Depending on the size of the event and the number of games in one day, photos will be ready for viewing and ordering in 1-3 days provided no unusual circumstances arise.   We always post in the same order as the games are photographed.  If there is going to be a delay in the posting of the event then a notification will be posted in the Announcement Section of the Website.

13. You were at our game. Why are there no photos of my player?

Ok! This is a delicate question.

We hope to have high quality images of your athlete as much as you do. However, in the sports world, as in real life, few things are perfect.  Below you will find a number of possible reasons why we may not have a photo of your athlete in our collection.

      Shadows or other obstruction covering face
      The image was out of focus
      Athlete had little game time or was not part of major action
      Coach or official obstructed view
      Bad or inappropriate faces made, and we don't wish to embarrass your athlete
      Umpire/Referee did not allow us to be in the proximity of action

Please understand that it is in our best interest to provide quality photos of every player that participates in each event that we cover.  However, due to some of the above circumstances and others that may arise, this may not be possible.

If the game/event being photographed is by reservation, then that determines who we focus on during that game.

14. Does Gary's Action Shots take individual, team, league, and club photos?

Yes, Please Contact Us for more information about taking still and action photos of your Athlete or Team on or off the field.
