Own It Sports Media Day -or- Boutique Sports Sessions
Over time, the term “Media Day” has been blurred by stylized smoke-and-gel setups that look exciting but serve little purpose for actual team media.
Those setups are essentially mini-sessions, creative and fun, but not built for team graphics, composites, or official use. A true Media Day is about consistency, clean extractions, and a full library of usable imagery for your program.
MEDIA DAY — Team-Focused Imagery
Media Day sessions are built for programs that need clean, consistent, extraction-based imagery for team use, including graphics, rosters, websites, and official content. Athletes are photographed for seamless background placement and team composites, giving the program professional, uniform visuals across all athletes and coaches. Everything about Media Day is structured around the team’s identity and media workflow, not stylized or dramatic looks.
BOUTIQUE SPORTS SESSIONS — Personal Creative Portraits
Boutique Sports Sessions use smoke, gels, and natural environments to create artistic, in-camera portraits. These sessions are designed strictly for personal keepsakes, not for team graphics, rosters, or formatted media content. No extractions, templates, or team composites are created from these sessions.
🚫 Teams must choose one session type only — Media Day -or- Boutique Sports Sessions.
These options cannot be combined or mixed under the same booking.
The team collects the per-player rate before Media Day, or OIS can collect through registration if parents are paying. Full and final payment must be completed prior to the scheduled session. The Player Pot is not available for Boutique Sports Sessions, but it is available for Media Day.
If submitting a business check (personal checks are not accepted), please allow time for the check to clear before Media Day.
