Youth Football Photography and Custom Player Cards
Rookie Edition Studio photographs Pop Warner, flag and school football rosters in full uniform, then builds a personalized sealed card set for each athlete.
Portrait style
Football portraits balance two looks: helmet on with the facemask lifted enough to keep the eyes lit, and helmet off or held at the hip so families can see their athlete's face clearly. Pads are set square so the jersey number reads cleanly on the finished card.
Hero poses we photograph
- Three-point stance photographed at ground level
- Helmet held at the hip with shoulders squared
- Ball-carry pose with the ball high and tight
- Quarterback throwing wind-up or hand-off pose
- Flag-football pull with the flag belt visible

Illustrative concept imagery shown. Original Rookie Edition Studio photography will replace concept imagery as the portfolio grows.
Equipment to bring
- Helmet, shoulder pads and full game jersey
- Football in the correct age-group size
- Gloves, mouthguard and cleats
- Flag belt for flag-football rosters
Team and coach
Full-pad team photographs are built in three tiers with helmets held at a consistent side so the row lines stay clean. The head coach receives a separate portrait for the Head Coach Card.
Action photography
Game coverage focuses on the snap, the carry, the pass and the sideline. Contact-heavy sequences are photographed with a longer lens from outside the field of play so athletes and officials are never crowded.
Card set
Every football athlete receives ten physical, double-sided cards across seven designs, including a Limited Edition Card and a Rookie Story Card about their season.

Common football questions
- Do you photograph flag football as well as tackle?
- Yes. Flag and tackle rosters both receive the full Team Card Day experience and the same ten-card sealed pack.
- Should players bring both jerseys?
- If your program issues home and away jerseys, bring both and we will confirm one look for the whole roster so the set stays consistent.
