UM Stingrays Summer Portraits
Thank you for the opportunity to capture a slice of your summer memories!
So many smiling faces and a lot of wet hair! It was tons of fun seeing the Stingrays in action again this year!
1: sports portraits upgraded!
Natural light, real-life backgrounds and image options bring a welcome update to traditional sports portraits. I enjoy capturing portraits that showcase each kid for who they are at this moment in time. Each child will have a minimum of 3 images for you to choose from edited in both color and black/white but you’ll notice that each album has more than that this year!
2: affordable options
Sports portraits don’t need to break the bank. You can purchase digital images for $29 each or $75 for your child’s entire album. UPDATE for this year - only digital images will be sold. All digital images purchased will be delivered with a print release so that you can print them at any lab of your choosing. I highly recommend either mPix or UnitPrints for high quality prints.
3: Easy Online ordering
Goodbye pre-order forms and envelopes. Now you will get to preview all the images of your child before deciding which ones you’d like to purchase.

FAQ
How many pictures will I see?
Unlike traditional sports photos, this time you will have choices. Each child will have a gallery of 6-8 images in both color and black and white. You get to choose which ones you want to order! Just click the View Gallery button to see all your options. Images are organized by last name into individual albums for each child. Please refer to your email for the password to open your child’s album.
Wed Aug 9th - Final day for digital image orders. Single digital images for $29 and full albums for $75 will be available for order. All final orders must be placed and all digital images must be downloaded. The gallery will be closed at midnight on this day. There is a $10 fee to re-open the gallery for any reason.
What is the order deadline?
Do you offer a sibling discount?
As a mom of four myself, I know how quickly things add up! I’m happy to offer a discount on full digital album purchases. If you purchase the full album of digital images for one child, all additional siblings’ digital albums will be $10 off. This discount is automatically applied at checkout. This discount is only available for digital album purchases and does not apply to packages or prints.
Why do you ask for my email address?
Once you have clicked the “View Gallery” button, you will be asked for your email address to enter the gallery. Requiring an email address allows the software to save your favorites and your cart until you are ready to order. The email address you provide will be used to send you the link to download digital images if you choose to purchase any. Your email address is only used for purchases and updates related to this gallery and you will not receive any other emails from me, unless requested.
How do I order?
All orders are completed online through a professional and secure site. First, navigate to your child’s album of images. Once you have selected an image, you will see a black “Buy Photo” button either underneath the image or in the top right corner. Clicking on that button will show you all of the options available for purchase. If you have any trouble ordering, you can always email me at photography@maggiemcc.com
How do I order digital images?
To order digital images for your child, please click on the image that you would to purchase. In the upper right hand corner or beneath the image, click on the black “Buy Photo” button, then choose the Digitals category. You can choose either the Single Full Resolution for $29 or Full Resolution for All Photos in the Album for $75. Choosing the All Album photos option for $75 means that you are purchasing all of the images in both color and black & white that are currently in that child’s album. It is not possible to combine photos from different albums into a new album.
How are digital images delivered?
Once you have completed checkout, you will be sent an email with a link to download all images purchased. Because the files are large, they will likely download initially as a zip file so I highly recommend downloading to a computer and not a mobile device at first. Please download all images before midnight on the day the gallery closes. A fee of $10 will be required in order to reopen the gallery for additional downloads.
I purchased the digitals and printed at a different printer. Why do they look different?
Color and light can be a tricky thing in photography. Every device reads and displays color just a little differently. This is why the images may look slightly different on your cell phone than they do on a computer. This is true with printers as well. My images are calibrated so that I can guarantee that the printer I work with will print them exactly as I see them. Other printers will “read” the color information in the image just a little differently so they may end up printing lighter or darker or more red or more yellow, etc. I can only guarantee color and quality of prints that have been ordered directly through me for this reason. However, I can recommend mPix as a reliable and reputable photo lab.
Do you offer retouching?
Each image chosen for the gallery will be edited and slightly retouched as needed before being ready to view. No scars, freckles, or other birthmarks will be touched but if a stray bug happened to land on their arm, that will be removed before viewing. If additional or more extensive retouching is requested (such as stray hairs or large bruises), please send me an email before ordering so we can discuss the extent of the edits requested and I can provide you with a quote for the retouching fee.
