Before you book

Still have a question? Send us a message with your booking request and we'll help you out!

How far ahead should we book a media day?

As early as you can! The studio calendar fills 8 to 12 months out, first come, first served. Send a request with the day you want and we'll confirm it with you.

How much does a sports photo session cost?

It depends on the session and the size of your team. Teams get team rates! Send a booking request with your sport and roster size and we'll get back to you with pricing for your shoot.

Do you only shoot in the North Little Rock studio?

Nope! Most media days happen at the studio at 7701 Northshore Pl, but we bring the equipment out to you too, like Bryant Track at their own track. Lasers, stadium lights, sparks, light tubes, motion blur and the specialty backdrops are studio-only looks.

Are the smoke, fire and laser effects added in Photoshop?

Nope, it's ALL in camera! The smoke, water, snow, sparks and lasers are real, lit with off-camera flash. In a world of AI and "I'll photoshop it later", we still believe in practical effects.

Which sports work in the studio?

All of them! Basketball and volleyball shoot on the court, complete with a goal and net. Football, baseball, softball and soccer use the turf under stadium lights. Cheer, dance, track, swim and golf look great on the cyc wall with custom colors and backgrounds.

Can other photographers rent the Rock Town Studio?

Yes! Photographers can rent the court, turf, cyc wall and lighting truss. Pick Rent the studio in the booking form and tell us the set and how long you need.
