Summer Sportraits at CGC West

Luke photographs gymnasts with a coach's eye: understanding skills, guiding positions, and capturing what makes each athlete stand out. The result is portraits that don't just look good — they look like your gymnast at their best.

Your athlete works through approximately 20 distinct poses and skills across two backdrops (white and black), with beam available for dynamic skill-focused shots alongside classic portraits.

Includes:

  • 5 professionally edited images (you choose from your private proof gallery)
  • ~20 distinct poses and skills captured; ~30–35 proof images to select from
  • Dual backdrops: white and black

Spotlight Session

~10 minutes

$95
Spotlight Sportrait session

A focused, coach-guided session on a white backdrop — one strong look, a precise selection of your athlete's best skills, and images that are ready to use. In a 10-minute active shoot, your athlete works through approximately 10 distinct poses and skills with clear direction to bring out strong lines and confident expression.

Includes:

  • 3 professionally edited images (you choose from your private proof gallery)
  • ~10 distinct poses and skills captured; ~15–20 proof images to select from
  • White backdrop · Seamless studio finish on every image
  • Private gallery delivery within 5–7 days

One leotard  ·  No equipment

Considering Spotlight vs. Performance? Most families who want more than a single polished look choose Performance. For $70 more, you get double the time, a second backdrop, beam access, and 5 edits instead of 3.

Each athlete receives dedicated individual shooting time with their own direction, poses, and hero shots across both backdrops.

  • ~55–65 proof images across both athletes
  • Dual backdrops: white and black · Beam available
  • Seamless studio finish on every image

Not sure which session is right?

Three ways to think about it.

Choose Performance if...

You want the most variety — dual backdrops, beam shots, 5 edits, and a full range of hero images from a 20-minute session.

Choose Spotlight if...

You want a focused, precise result — one strong look, one backdrop, 3 edits, and a clean 10-minute shoot.

Choose Dual-Athlete if...

You have two athletes — siblings or training partners — who want individual galleries plus one image together.

💡 Athletes who prepare a short list of skills or poses always get more variety from their session.

What parents love

Coach-guided sessions

Athletes feel confident and supported from the first pose to the last. Direction is specific, clear, and effective — no awkward posing.

Competition-trained eye

Luke knows what peak positions look like at every level. Clean lines, strong shapes, and peak moments are built into every shot.

Seamless studio finish

Every edited image is delivered with a clean, wrinkle-free backdrop and continuous floor — no visible seams, no distracting gym floor.

Efficient, relaxed flow

Sessions are structured and action-packed without feeling rushed. Athletes know what's coming and enjoy the experience.
