If your child has a passion for sports, then we’re confident that you’ll love our sports portrait experience.

Sports Portraits: Capturing your young athlete pursuing their passion

As one of the many themed photoshoots we offer here at our Darley Abbey-based studio in Derby, sports portrait sessions are always high-energy and lots of fun!

They are the perfect opportunity for your child to showcase their skills and share their sporting passions, and are ideal as a unique birthday or Christmas gift idea for children aged 6-14 years or as a special treat at any time of the year.

What is a sports photoshoot experience?

A sports-themed portrait session is a photoshoot experience like no other! It’s a chance for your sports-loving child to be photographed by the highly-skilled team here at Pop! Studios as they demonstrate their sporting talent in front of our cameras.

• Book them a football photoshoot if they are football-crazy and dream of being the next Ronaldo or Messi!

• If they get their thrills from playing tennis, book a tennis photoshoot,

• How about a martial arts photoshoot if they’re keen on karate or Jiu-Jitsu?

• Book a themed photoshoot if they revel in playing Rugby,

• or, perhaps a swimming photoshoot if they are a whizz in the water!

Whatever their sporting passion, we can capture it and create wonderful and timeless child portraits for you to treasure forever.

Why invest in sports portrait photography?

Our sports-themed photoshoots are extremely popular with both girls and boys alike. Why? Well, capturing a child’s passion for sports can result in unique and memorable portraits that both the child and their parents love.

Plus, the experience and the resulting photographs are a huge confidence boost for the child – kids tell us that they feel incredible during their time with us, and are always amazed when we reveal the finished photos.

These sessions are also incredibly versatile. Whatever your child is passionate about, we can photograph them doing it; there are no limits to what’s possible, and no age restriction applies (although we do recommend younger children are a minimum of 8 months of age).

A photoshoot with us is a brilliant sport experience gift for children of all ages. We have unlimited sports photoshoot ideas and will capture creative sports portraits you and they will love!

Interactive child portrait sessions for sports fans in Derby and beyond!

As parents ourselves, we know that a love of sport begins at an early age. By the time your child is of school age, they likely have developed a passion for sport that goes beyond their years and only intensifies with every passing year.

Here at Pop! Studios, there’s nothing we love more than to photograph children having fun and being their true selves.

Our sport portrait photography sessions present the opportunity for sporty children to act out their passions and role-play as their favourite sporting heroes.

What happens during a sports portrait experience at Pop! Studios?

The process is simple and always a fun adventure for your little ones. Firstly, we welcome you to the photography studio and then your child will get changed into their sports outfit ready for their time in front of the camera.

Simply bring along their sportswear or sports-themed outfits – whether that’s their footie kit, swimwear, leotards, tutus or whatever else they need - plus any equipment or props, and we’ll do everything else!

We will have prepared the relevant sport-themed backdrop to suit your child’s sporting passion. Once they are ready, the fun will begin! We will encourage them to try out a variety of sport-specific themed poses as well as action shots, and we will help them to feel like the sports star they dream of being.

What sports-themed photoshoots do we offer?

The list of sports-themed shoots we offer is endless! Check out our sports photo gallery here and be inspired by the portraits we are sharing in this article too.

• Having a football photoshoot? Then they can show us how they can kick like Beckham!

• Having a gymnastic photoshoot? Then they can demonstrate their incredible balancing skills and flexibility!

• Having a dance photoshoot? Then they can point their toes and pirouette like a prima ballerina, or twirl, leap and pose to their heart’s content!

The creative opportunities are endless, and children with passions for all types of sports are welcome.

Your child’s sports portraits will have digital magic applied

After the 1 hour-long theatrical sports photoshoot experience, our digital technicians will get to work editing and refining the images. We add our special touches to make the portraits pop!

The portraits, as a collection, will tell the story of your child’s sporting dreams and passions and would look amazing on their bedroom walls or in your family living room at home. This is why we offer a variety of stunning wall art and photo products for you to choose from after the photoshoot.

As a photography studio, we don’t create images to languish on a disc or USB stick, never to be looked at. We are passionate about helping you to create art featuring your family; sports portraits that deserve a place on the walls of your home and to be enjoyed every single day.

You’ll return to the studio 1-2 weeks after the initial shoot for your private cinematic viewing and it’s then that you’ll make your photo selections.

What’s included in a sports photoshoot experience?

Included in the package is a photo mug and 2 x keyrings (same image). At the viewing appointment, you will choose the image to feature on those as well as any additional photo products that you would like to purchase.
