Book Us for Your Tournament
We'll photograph your tournament for FREE...
We make money from sales to your athletes and their parents who buy the photos directly from us. Not only do we not charge you to be there... In fact...
​
WE MAKE YOU MONEY...
simply by being there & selling you get 10% of our in person sales to give to your charity, league or your private organization. It's your choice.
Hiring us as a fundraiser can be a great money MAKER for your league (or for your business).
How it works:
We pay 10% gross of all we make, so long as we can do our jobs at your event & our sales have covered basic expenses. Once we reach profitability for your event we give 10% gross of everything we make during sales to you. If it is the first time we've run an event through you we may ask you to do a refundable $500 deposit. You would get his back whether or not we are profitable. The only reason you wouldn't get this back is if you canceled our attending after we already made travel plans (ie invested money in attending) or we are prevented from taking our photos on our prearranged spots in foul ball territory (please inquire about these necessary spots, which have to be cleared and agreed upon with ALL umpires or we cannot attend).
Frequently Asked Questions:
​
If event gets canceled for weather will I get my deposit back?
Yes. Natural cancelations like weather we will gladly refund you. We don't want your deposit. We just want to protect ourselves as we invest in attending your event. When you book us, be sure to do the due diligence of making sure we'll be allowed to take photos and sell with all that need to be asked. Something preventable in our losing money would be the only reason we'd ever keep a deposit. One event canceled on us months after booking because they decided to go with their own parent photographer, its stuff like that which we need to prevent as it loses us time and money & disappoints customers.
​
If we don't reach profitability will I or the league owe anything?
​
No, so long as we are able to take our photos in our requested spots and set up our booth for sales, you've done your job and even if we aren't profitable you won't owe us anything. If we aren't profitable you will not be paid anything for our attending.
What is profitability?
Profitability is any amount we make once our total investment in attending has been paid off, things like gas, hotels, airfare, car rental, photo paper costs, photographer subcontractor pay, etc. We'll let you know what our investment in your event is before we start (if asked) and nearly every event we do is profitable. Larger the event = larger break even threshold / higher profit. Profit varies based on weather, customer sentiment/ability to buy, the number of teams which get eliminated before the final day of the event, the way the tournament is scheduled, the season, etc. We make a profit for nearly every event we run and our average event goes back to us for 10+ years because we treat them fairly.
​
How does profit affect what I will MAKE from your sales?
Basically, if we make money you make money; but if we don't reach profitability (ie we lose money attending your event or break even) we would call it even and not pay you anything. Once we meet profitability, you will be paid 10% of what we make. We prefer to pay via Venmo or paper check (checks are delayed, often mailed in a week after the event ends). We can sometimes provide cash at the event with an emailed receipt from you, but please specify your needed payment route beforehand.
​
If you usually are profitable, why these rules?
A few bad apples have caused us to do these terms, so we want to be clear that you have the best of intentions by reading the terms below.
Terms of Service (please read):
FIRST YEAR DEPOSIT: The first year we photograph your event we ask for a $500 refundable deposit to be paid at least 3 months before the event.
REASONS YOU WOULD NOT GET YOUR DEPOSIT BACK:
​
*After we make arrangements, you cancel our attending due to finding another photographer.
(seriously, one event did this to us after two successful years with them)
*Any cancelation of our services, other than natural occurrence (weather, natural disaster, etc)
*We are not allowed to stand on our usual spots in foul ball territory, due to Umpire refusing to let us do our jobs. (This has happened three times in 14 years, the event didn't get permission for us to stand in our pre-arranged spots. We show up and are ushered off the field. This is disappointing for all involved and cannot happen. If it does we would keep the deposit and nobody would make a profit.)
YOU WILL GET YOUR DEPOSIT BACK IF:
*Weather cancels an event that normally we would have been able to photograph normally.
*The entire event gets canceled (pandemic related, too many teams drop out)
*If we aren't profitable you WILL get your deposit back, just not make any money from sales
What about online sales after the event? Do I get a share of that?
​
We DO NOT share online sales that occur after the event ends. The trade off of our risking our own money to attend your event is that we mitigate that risk by making some online sales after the event. If an event gets rained out, for example, online sales might be the only way we have a chance of breaking even. Even if profitable, we don't include online sales.
