2025-2026 NorAm Event Photography

I love capturing snowboard competitions and making memories for riders, families, and the community.

To keep this sustainable, I ask for support covering the $2,500–$3,000 in travel and event expenses I incur on average per 2-day competition (travel, lodging, food, lift tickets). In return, I donate my time and photography — your support only covers expenses.

Note: If my own athletes are competing in a specific event, I will reduce the overall cost by $500. If event organizers can provide lift tickets, food vouchers, or lodging support, my costs may also be lowered accordingly.

For Athletes, Families, & Fans

Individual Contributor (Upfront Only)

  • Estimated $200 per athlete per event (based on ~15 contributors).
    Final cost may be adjusted based on total participation.
    Events where my own athletes are competing will be discounted, lowering the per-family share.

  • Payment due before the event so my costs can be covered.

  • Unlimited access to all high-resolution, unwatermarked photos from the event.

  • Print, share, and keep forever.

If minimum contributions are not met in advance, I may not be able to attend the event.

Individual Non-Contributor (After Event)

  • Families who don’t contribute upfront can still purchase later at higher rates:

    • $50 per photo

    • $250 for your rider’s full set (digital download)

  • Non-contributors can only purchase at these higher rates; previews remain heavily watermarked until purchased.

  • This season, free watermarked downloads will no longer be offered.

Why Join Upfront?
✔️ Guarantee access to all your rider’s images
✔️ Save money vs. buying afterward
