What are Fusion Sports Pictures?

Pictures are taken in a controlled environment. J&M Imaging uses technology that allows everyone on the team to be in the group photo without having to physically be on location at the exact same time. This means no waiting for the group photo. In addition, social distancing can be practiced. We can get a great shot of each player and everyone can be included in the group. Individual images and group images are added to environmental backgrounds that represent their local gym or playing field.

Picture Day Schedule

Each team is assigned a time for pictures. There’s typically a 15 to 20 minute time frame for each team.

Once a player arrives, they will go to a check in point and be assigned to a camera station. Players will be asked their name and the name of the team they play on. Please be sure your players know their specific team name - EXAMPLE - U10 Boys Red or 5th Grade Travel White.

Players will take several pictures in different poses. One set of poses will be for their individual picture. Another set will be used to create the team banner photo. The entire process from arrival, check-in and taking pictures usually take about 15 minutes.
