Organised, Sharp Sport Photography
At Amanda Jade Photography, I works as a sports photographer for locals across Cairns, Port Douglas and the Atherton Tablelands. Backed by 15+ years’ experience, I plan the day carefully and deliver polished, practical images prepared for web and print.
I provide teams and clubs with clear schedules, calm direction and colour-true results. I take crisp action shots and capture players' names for easy identification. Tell me your season dates and needs, and we can arrange a schedule that suits you best. To book your coverage, call 0421 868 988.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you photograph fast-moving sports?
Sports photographers use specialised equipment and techniques to freeze motion, such as fast shutter speeds and continuous shooting. They also position themselves strategically to capture key moments of play. Experience with different sports helps them anticipate action for sharper, more dynamic photos.
How long does a sports photo day take?
Timing depends on team count, age groups and add-ons like sponsor frames. Many clubs allow five to eight minutes per team for portraits, plus extra time for leadership groups. A simple run sheet and an on-site contact keep things moving. Arrive early in full kit so the schedule stays on track.
Can clubs use images for sponsors and social media?
Most sports photographers supply licence terms that cover club channels, websites, programs and social media, with sponsor use usually permitted when the club is promoting itself. Resale or third-party advertising may require extra permission. Confirm the allowed uses and credit requirements before the event to ensure compliance with your agreements.
Squad Portraits
Team Portraits
Team portraits can be scheduled to suit your club calendar. I bring a calm, organised approach so squads move efficiently from photo to photo and everyone knows what to expect.
I adapt my shoots to suit your preferences, and offer both on-site and in-studio sessions, depending on your photography needs. Whether you're looking for photos of the squad, the coach team, or sponsored posts, we can find a package that works for you. For further details or to book a session, get in touch and we can make a plan.
Player Profiles
Individual Portraits
Player portraits are paced to keep things relaxed while maintaining a consistent look across the group. We'll discuss your requirements for the shoot, and then I'll create a straightforward schedule that fits your timetable.
You can choose a mobile session, where I come to your club and capture your players with a familiar background, or a studio-based session, where I will set up a neutral background for consistency from player to player. Whether your photos are for programs or general club use, we can discuss the style before the day so the results match expectations.
Club Coverage
Sports Club Photos
Clubs often require a mix of images across the season. I can organise coverage that balances teams, committee or staff needs, and any general club moments you’d like recorded.
I provide flexible bookings so we can set dates that work with your game and practice schedule. I offer both a mobile service, so I can come to you for action and location-based shots, and in-studio sessions, for any shots that need a more polished look or neutral background. Every experience is personalised to the client, so if your requirements change, we can adjust the plan so the essentials are still covered.
Finals Focus
Game Day Action Shots
When it comes to sports, nothing's more important than the final series. I keep this in mind when shooting these moments, and offer flexible planning for these unpredictable days.
For such a personal moment, I focus on personalised results. I'll follow your guidance on when coverage should begin, what to prioritise, and any formal moments you’d like documented. Timing is set around the schedule you provide, and my approach remains organised and respectful of the day’s pace. If you have specific traditions or images in mind, let me know so they’re included in the plan from the start.
Training Moments
Sports Training Sessions
Training coverage focuses on the feel of the session and the moments that matter to your group. We’ll agree on what to prioritise and choose a time that fits your training schedule.
I keep a low profile so that routines can continue without interruption and ensure the shots capture the natural movements of the players. My mobile setup allows for flexibility across training venues if you have multiple locations to work with. If you’re unsure what to include, I can suggest a straightforward structure that aligns with your goals for the season.
Carnival Sets
Sports Carnival Photographer
I offer photography for community sports carnivals, capturing every highlight from team events to individual achievements. My focus is on documenting the action, atmosphere and spirit of your event, so you can share and remember every moment.
Whether it’s a single race or a whole day of competition, I’m ready to help. If you need a photographer for your next sports carnival, just ask me about options and packages.
