What to expect at your Sports Session:
At a sports portrait photography session with Shelley Bressman, you can expect an experience that’s bold, personalized, and all about capturing the essence of your athletic identity. Shelley creates dramatic lighting setups, powerful poses, and a confident vibe that turns every athlete into a standout subject. Whether you’re a senior in your varsity letterman jacket, a competitive player with your gear, or a rising star in your sport, every shot is designed to reflect your strength, spirit, and hard-earned dedication.
The session typically begins with a brief consultation to discuss your sport, personal style, and the kind of story you want your images to tell. We’ll then move into a carefully planned shoot using a mix of natural and artificial lighting to create cinematic, dynamic portraits. Expect strong shadows, bold color contrast, and intentional posing to elevate the energy of each image. Shelley’s goal is to produce magazine-worthy portraits that you’ll be proud to hang on your wall, share with your team, or use in personal branding. Whether we’re on location at a field, court, or studio-style setup, you’ll walk away with images that are as powerful and unique as your performance.
