Youth Soccer Photography and Custom Player Cards
Rookie Edition Studio photographs club, AYSO and school soccer rosters on the pitch and turns each session into a personalized sealed card set.
Portrait style
Soccer portraits are photographed slightly wider than other sports so the ball, boots and full kit stay in frame. Long hair is tied back the same way it would be at kickoff, and we photograph shin-guard-up so the player looks match-ready rather than posed in street clothes.
Hero poses we photograph
- Foot resting on the ball with squared shoulders
- Ball held at the hip for a clean, classic club portrait
- Mid-stride dribble carry with the head up
- Goalkeeper set position with gloves forward
- Arms-crossed standing portrait for the Personal Rookie Card
Illustrative concept imagery shown. Original Rookie Edition Studio photography will replace concept imagery as the portfolio grows.
Equipment to bring
- Match ball in the correct age-group size
- Full kit including shorts, socks and shin guards
- Boots appropriate to the surface, plus goalkeeper gloves
- Captain's armband for players who wear one
Team and coach
The team photograph is built in two rows on the touchline or in the goal mouth, with keepers placed to keep the color balance even. The head coach is photographed separately for the Head Coach Card, typically at the technical area.
Action photography
Soccer action is photographed from the attacking third so the athlete faces the camera during runs, strikes and saves. When no usable live frame is captured, a professionally posed Hero Card is substituted rather than forcing a weak image into the set.
Card set
Each soccer athlete receives ten physical, double-sided cards across seven designs, including Team Cards that show the whole roster and a Team Moments Card from the day.

Common soccer questions
- Do you photograph goalkeepers differently?
- Yes. Keepers are photographed in gloves with set-position and diving-ready poses so their card reflects the position they actually play.
- Can a club book several teams on the same day?
- Yes. Multiple rosters can be scheduled back to back at one venue. Share the number of teams and athletes in your inquiry and we will confirm the timing.
