ABOUT GAMETIME MINDSET
Gametime Mindset is a youth sports photography and sideline gear brand focused on capturing athletes the way they actually compete. Based in Southwest Michigan and founded by a father and his two sons, the brand was built on a simple belief that every athlete deserves to be seen in their real moment.
Partnering with teams, schools, and leagues, Gametime Mindset delivers professional, in-game photography designed to go beyond traditional picture day. From single-game coverage to full-season partnerships, the brand provides consistent, high-impact visual storytelling, fast-turnaround galleries, and custom gear that builds pride across athletes and families.
Through a digital-first experience, families get access to premium action shots that reflect the energy, discipline, and identity behind every play, while programs gain content that elevates their presence and connection with their community.
With a growing presence across youth sports, Gametime Mindset blends culture, performance, and storytelling to create a modern experience for programs that want more than standard photos.
This is not picture day.
This is how the game, the moment actually looks, feels, and lives on.

"We couldn't wait to see the post-game photos when I played college football. youth and their parents shouldn't have to wait until college for professional photos of them playing the games they love."

it's amazing how our kids can change us
When my oldest was born, I was heavily focused on website design and would capture photos to help website clients. The world changed and photography bored me back then. And now, because of the two of them what was formerly boring, has become a passion for capturing memories and moments of my boys and providing the same for others.
the who, what and why behind gametime
"Without question my two sons are my "why" and as soon as my oldest played machine pitch and a teammate’s mom (Nikki P.) captured some pro-level action shots of my son on the field, I was hooked and had to have more. But, that next year, we didn’t have Nikki each day, but another teammate’s mom would occasionally capture shots with her must-have lens and quick turnaround (Heather B.). I knew that I needed to invest in learning the camera, manual mode, and lenses so that I could capture memories of my two sons on my own.
Thousands of photos later, along with their teammates you will definitely find me field side capturing sports moments. My family has a deep line of photographers that I would not have guessed that I'd follow that path. From my dad and many uncles to my grandma, the many photos, film camera tricks (before Photoshop existed) and many old-school cameras… here I am, hoping to offer memories in the moment for all of you."
As a family-driven company and service provider, we do nothing alone. many thanks to my angels, my two sons, Mom, Dad, Nene, my family, Heather, inner circle and local pros Sarah McEvers Photography, Kelly H. (N.C.), Nikki P. and Heather B. for advice, POVs, reviews, texts with ideas and answering a plethora of questions about the basics.
IT'S GAMETIME!
if you want the top grade in class.
if you want playing time on the field.
if you want the job in the big city.
you can't STUDY ON THE VIDEO GAME.
YOU CAN'T Just practice at practice.
you can't just do what's asked.
YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT IT TAKES,
TO BE BETTER THAN THE NEXT MAN.
PUT IN THE WORK AND YOU'LL BE GREAT, SON!
