Rates
Day rates you can budget against.
Starting points, not the whole story — every assignment is quoted to its actual scope. Consumer match and family galleries are priced on the coverage page.
Assignment / editorial — half day
From $550up to ~4 hours on site
A single match or a focused block of coverage when a full day is more than the assignment needs.
Club & match media — recurring
From $175per match · season packages available
Ongoing matchday coverage for a team or club: family galleries plus stronger top selects for club media and social.
Included usage
Editorial, club-internal, and social use is included with the assignment fee — publish to the club site, post to your channels, and share galleries with families.
Licensed separately
Commercial and advertising use (sponsor campaigns, paid ads, merchandise, brand work) is licensed separately and scoped per project, so you only pay for the rights you actually use.
Why it’s safe to commission
A clear scope, a fast turnaround, and a real body of work.
No agency overhead, no vague “custom quote” — a direct line to the photographer who shoots and edits the work.
How it works
Brief to delivery, without the back-and-forth.

You get curated highlights within 48 hours and the full edited gallery within 72.
What does the day rate include?
On-site coverage, a professional edit, and a delivered gallery with curated highlights first. Editorial, club-internal, and social usage is included; commercial/advertising use is licensed separately.
How does licensing work?
Most assignments only need editorial, club, and social rights, which are included. If you need the images for paid advertising, sponsor campaigns, or merchandise, that commercial usage is scoped and licensed per project.
How fast is delivery?
Curated highlights within 48 hours and the full gallery within 72 — so families can browse quickly and clubs can post while the match still matters.
Do you travel for assignments?
Brookfield and Chicagoland are the center of gravity, but travel for tournaments, showcases, and editorial work is welcome — just include the location in your brief.
