We can photograph for YOU at the USAV Girls Junior National Championships!
After years of being asked, cajoled and begged to photograph the JOs and having to say "No" because USAV generally doesn't return our calls or emails with anything but, "We already have a photographer." with the help of the NCVA, we have finally secured permission from USAV to photograph the Junior National Championships this year in Reno!
Read on for more information ...
The Catch
While we will be able to photograph at the tournament, we are not the official photographers at this year's Junior National Championships - we will have no booth and no viewing capabilities.
What we have received is confirmation from USAV via the NCVA that we can attend the tournament and photograph those teams who hire us specifically to photograph them - as long as we are hired prior to your team's start of play at the tournament.
We will not be able to sign anyone up on site at the tournament. We will not be able to have any sort of a booth.
How does it work?
For those teams who would like us to attend and photograph, here is what we have worked out within the constraints placed on us by USAV. There are three options:
- Full Team Coverage: Photograph your team playing in two full matches on two different days (meaning between four - six sets, depending on how your matches go) and burn all of the high resolution images to 15 disks - enough for the entire team and coaching staff!
- Full Individual Coverage: Photograph your athlete exclusively for one match, a disk of all of the high resolution images and your selection of any of our collage packages.
- Individual Collage Coverage: Photograph your athlete to capture images to make you a great collage. We look for action, portraits, cheers, personality, etc. After the tournament we will post your images where you can select those you would like in your collage. Price varies depending on the collage selected.
The Full Team Coverage
This is the most economical option for an entire team. With this option, we will photograph the team for two whole matches and provide 15 disks with all of the high resolution images to the team so that everyone gets a copy.

The Full Individual Coverage
We know that making it to the Junior National Championships is a very big deal and you may want a more focused coverage of your athlete. That is what this option is for.
This is a full match coverage of your athlete exclusively - no one else on the team will be photographed during this match. We will focus solely on getting the best and most variety of images of your athlete.
Included with this package is a high resolution disk of all of the images as well as your selection of any of our collage packages in their large or extra large size.

The Individual Collage Coverage
This coverage is the most economical for a family to purchase a collage from the event. If you would like a collage, but do not want to purchase the Full Individual Coverage, this option might interest you.
With this coverage option, I will photograph your athlete in action. I will look for great action, cheers, portraits, details and other imagery for a wonderful collage.
After the tournament, I will post a gallery of your images and email you a link. You can then select the images you would like in your collage.

If you don't already know us ...
If you are new to our studio and our work, here is a brief word about us. We are a family owned and operated studio based in Sacramento, CA. Our goal is for our family to create beautiful pictures of your family - regardless of the activity.
We approach every photograph we take as a portrait and apply all of our portrait skills to every finished image. We want each image to be worthy of hanging on your wall as a prized piece of custom family artwork.
Over the past eight years, we have traveled the nation photographing volleyball and have amassed millions of photographs worth of experience.
The best way to get an idea of our work, is to see some of it. All of the work on this site is ours and we have extensive galleries, but here is a bit of the work we have done this season ...
I don't get it - can you help me?
Sure - I'd be happy to.
However, we are photographing two tournaments this weekend - a boys volleyball tournament in Anaheim, CA and the NCVA California Finals at Cal Expo. So we will not be available until Wednesday the 23rd of June.
Your best option is to email me at: info@vbpics.com.
I will try to check my email while on the road and answer any questions as quickly as possible!
