KM 1.0What's includedAthletics

Shot solo. Filed in 48 hours.

No crew, no reveal sale, no watermark. One photographer who knows where the race is decided and stays out of the way of your season.

48 Hours

Full-resolution gallery after every meet. Not a preview. Not a teaser. The files.

Your Name

Written into the file itself. Name, school, event, location, date — in the IPTC and EXIF data, not just the folder name. That's how a search finds you.

Licensed

Recruiting, NIL, and your own feed. In writing. You don't have to ask twice.

Capped

Three commission slots per meet. So the athletes who book actually get covered instead of appearing in the background of someone else's race.

FAQCommon questionsHelp

What you might be wondering.

What happens after I book?

You'll get a confirmation within 24 hours with your meet details, payment link, and what to expect on race day. After the meet, your gallery goes live within 48 hours — no watermarks, no upsells.

What does "licensed" mean?

You can use the photos for recruiting profiles, NIL content, social media, and personal portfolios. I retain copyright, but you get a broad usage license in writing — no need to ask permission for every post.

What if it rains?

Cross country happens in all weather. I shoot rain or shine. If a meet is outright cancelled by the host, your booking rolls to the next available meet or refunds in full — your choice.

How do I download my files?

Your gallery lives on a private client page. You can download individual files or the entire gallery as a ZIP. Every file is full-resolution with your metadata already baked in.

What's the difference between athlete and full meet coverage?

Athlete coverage ($150) means I shoot your races and deliver your frames. Full meet coverage ($350) means I shoot every race at the meet and deliver the complete gallery — ideal for teams, coaches, and parents who want everything.

What is NIL?

Name, Image, and Likeness — the NCAA rule that lets high school and college athletes earn money from their personal brand. My license covers NIL use so you can monetize your content without legal headaches.

What is IPTC / EXIF metadata?

Hidden data written into every photo file: your name, school, event, location, and date. When a coach or recruiter searches your name, search engines can read this data and surface your photos. It's the difference between being found and being invisible.
