PhotoDay is the website that hosts these photos & where you will order them. They are their own company. You can order prints as well as digital downloads.

PhotoDay will collect your payment, send your order to the print lab, and deliver your digital downloads.

Your prints will ship to the address you provide PhotoDay with.

AdvancePay is PhotoDay’s prepay feature. It is OPTIONAL - you do not have to prepay.

If you do it, you’ll put down $35 before the gallery is published and that will go towards your order. You will also qualify for free shipping.

You can wait to see the photos before paying, but you would pay for shipping. In this case, once you text the code, you don’t need to do anything until the gallery is published.

You will have 14 months to spend the AdvancePay credits before they expire. You can purchase them for one sport but spend them on another - they are tied to your PhotoDay account.

PhotoDay offers Basic Retouching on your photos. This is a simple set of automated edits done to the image immediately after your purchase.

There is no human doing the editing or taking edit requests. The computer automatically makes its changes before sending the image to you or to the print lab.

Most of the time, galleries are published within two weeks of the photo session. This can be longer during peak shooting season, if we’re waiting for several makeup students, or other complications.

You can prepay up until the gallery is published. Because galleries are published as soon as they are ready, you probably want to prepay as soon as you get your code.

Galleries will not expire. Assuming I did the team’s photos in a previous year, yes, you can go back and order!

If you have signed up for a gallery but not ordered, PhotoDay will send you a series of reminders for a while, then leave you alone.

The code for a previous year will be almost identical to this year’s code - you’ll just change the numbers at the end to match the school year you’re looking for.

For example, your code for the 2026-2027 school year would end with 2627. To find the photos from the year before, you would change the code to end with 2526 and then text it to PhotoDay again.

You can order prints, digital downloads, and keepsakes like keychains, water bottles, and more.

For quality purposes, I recommend ordering all prints through PhotoDay so they go to a professional print lab.

Because different sized prints are different ratios, they show different amounts of background.

All files will print at 8×10 without losing anything important.

For individual images and memory mates, you will not lose anything important if you print a 5×7 or 4×6.

Team photos should stay at 8×10. If you print a 5×7 or 4×6 you will likely cut off text or heads. Besides, team members will be tiny on a smaller print!

PhotoDay will show you a preview of your crop based on the size you selected.

You can crop further from there if you’d like. All cropping is the responsibility of the customer.

Yes, there are packages, or you can order a la carte. To find the packages, you may have to swipe through some tabs until you see one that says Packages.

There are packages for only prints, only downloads, or a mixture of the two.

Coach should communicate what to wear - typically a complete game day outfit minus shoes. Feet will not be in the final product unless the student strikes a pose with the foot up.

Typically, each athlete gets 3 poses: one used to make the composite team photo, and two that are up to them where they can show their personality.

Band members will have a team pose, a formal pose, and a personality pose.

They will show up in the photo gallery as 3 individual photos, a team photo, a memory mate (team + individual), and if applicable, their banner design.

JROTC will be one pose each.

Absolutely! This won’t count as one of their three poses per athlete.

If they didn’t take a photo together, email me about making one using their individual photos: ryan@rvinsonphotos.com

If time allows, this can happen at the end of the team’s photos. If another team is ready to go, we will have to skip this.

Yes! Props are encouraged so long as they are permitted by CMCSS policy.

Each season, there is one dedicated makeup day at the studio (3150 Dunlop Lane). This is for any sport from any school.

Winter ‘26-’27 Makeup Date: December 17, 12pm-3pm

Spring ‘27 Makeup Date: March 3, 3pm-6pm

Assuming your team is having parents pay for the banners, just fill the form in again!

After taking their three photos, the senior/8th grader will see them on my camera and tell me which one to make their banner pose.

This keeps the workflow moving for everyone, so that the team isn’t waiting for one parent to get back to me a week late.

If you have specific expectations for the banner, you should communicate them to your student.

For consistency, banner backgrounds are selected by the coach.

No. Banners print from a different source, so I must collect the payments separately.

AdvancePay will apply to downloads and smaller prints ordered through PhotoDay only.

Banner payments must be made through the form above.

All banners will ship together. They will be delivered to the school or a booster club parent.

Of course! Most teams give banners out to the seniors at the end-of-season banquet. This is the responsibility of the coach or booster parents.

Yes and no. PhotoDay does not yet support combining orders from multiple galleries, which means you would have to pay shipping twice…except that I’ve set up a sibling gallery to save you from having to do that! Send me an email at ryan@rvinsonphotos.com

Send me an email! Buttons are available, but may require differently-shaped image uploads.

If I upload those without explaining the difference, people get confused and end up ordering that image for their prints, and it doesn’t fit those.

So, I only upload button designs by request. ryan@rvinsonphotos.com
