Sports MEDIA Photography
High-impact, studio-quality athlete portraits on a crisp white backdrop
—bold, distraction-free images that showcase your players’ intensity and team pride while giving your media team ready-to-use, pro-level assets.
I'm Amy!
Hey There!
Hi, I’m Amy Bakalov — a seasoned photographer and proud mom of five with over a decade of experience capturing dynamic, clean, and high-impact sports media portraits on white backdrops. For the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with youth, high school, and regional sports teams, creating polished, professional images that athletes and families are proud to share.
My approach combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of how to make athletes feel comfortable, confident, and seen in front of the camera — which is especially important on fast-paced media days. I work efficiently without sacrificing quality, and I know how to adapt quickly to tight timelines, group logistics, and varying lighting conditions.
I understand the importance of these photos — they’re more than just headshots; they’re lasting memories and valuable promotional tools for your program. I bring reliability, energy, and an eye for excellence to every shoot. If you're looking for someone who knows how to make your team look their best while keeping the process organized and stress-free, I’d love to connect!

HAVE FUN!
Choose your preferred media day and lock it in with a quick message. I require a minimum of 10 athletes to hold your very own MEDIA DAY — perfect for teams big or small. Want to book multiple teams (like JV + Varsity or all Fall sports)? We can easily schedule them back-to-back to make the most of your day.
On media day, I bring the studio to you — complete with a clean white backdrop, professional lighting, and positive energy. I work quickly and efficiently, keeping things smooth, fun, and on schedule. Athletes walk away feeling confident and excited about their portraits.
The Gallery Delivery
Each athlete gets their own personalized online gallery filled with clean, high-quality images ready to download, print, and share. Coaches (and/or a designated team manager) receive a full team gallery to use for graphics, social media, and team websites.

More Than Photos — It’s a Team Experience
Your team deserves more than stiff poses and forced smiles. Media day is a chance to connect, hype each other up, and walk away feeling like a unified squad. I keep the energy high and the vibe fun so players leave feeling proud — and coaches leave with media-ready portraits they can actually use.
