Dear ,
Ahh, spring. Longer days and warmer weather signal the beginning of outdoor practices, local pickup games, club tryouts, and college postseason. We hope the season's been treating you well! We have a few exciting announcements, as well as a note on our website's pricing updates, plus lots of recent and upcoming coverage.

Over the past 9 years, your support has helped UltiPhotos grow from just a few passionate photographers to a company with over 40 active photographers providing professional photo coverage of nearly 100 events per year ranging from local tourneys to the highest levels of national and world competition.
We have held pricing increases back for several years to keep licensing our photos as accessible as possible for players and parents. However, as an inevitable result of growth and increases in our own product and operations costs, we need to make modest price increases to many of our digital and print website products.
The biggest change to note is our new product categories for digital downloads for personal use licensing. As a result of the significant investments by our photographers in advance pro camera technology, both the quality and image size have increased substantially since 1998, yet our pricing for digital products has remained largely unchanged (and in some cases has become significantly underpriced compared to the larger market). Our new digital personal use licensing line-up helps better match pricing to the expected usage while keeping prices affordable:

Pro Tip: If you want to "tip" an UltiPhotos photographer in appreciation of their great work, please consider "upgrading" one of their photos to the next largest product size for purchase.
As we strive to make great ultimate photography accessible, our prices will still remain far below industry averages while sustaining our company. As always, we are happy to offer volume discounts to anyone who inquires.
Without the support of our great customers, UltiPhotos would not be possible. Thank you so much for your support in the past and in the future!
