Can you take my picture please?
One of my day jobs is sports photography, and I love taking pickleball action shots. I call them pickleball "portraits" since they are typically close-up views of players totally involved in the action of the moment.
I take my camera to many tournaments, so you might pop up in my work, but if you would like me to make sure I get some shots of you (or your sponsored players) in action, please keep reading.
2026 Tournament Photos Schedule
July 23-26, 2026 - BC Provincial Championships, The Nest, Vancouver, BC

Photos for Personal Use
You will get a minimum of ten edited action shots, licensed, and perfect for on-line social media use. I will track you down at your tournament and take your photos - all for only $69.95
Note that the licensing INCLUDES commercial use for any business that you personally own. In other words, if you own a small business where you teach pickleball, then you are free to use these photos for your business. This policy change is in direct response to feedback I received, and it should make things much easier for many people.
The exception to the above licensing is that your sponsors or team owners will need a commercial license to use your photos. Please have them contact me directly.
Also please note that, depending on the tournament schedule and/or the weather, there is a slim possibility that I may not be able to get photos of you. If that happens, then your fee will be refunded in full.
If you click on the PayPal button and nothing appears to happen, you may have "popups" disabled in your browser; look along the menu bar at the top of your browser for a message that will permit you to "allow popups" for this site.
Note that the PayPal button will give you the option of paying by credit card without a PayPal account.
