Thank you to Equinox Creative for a great photo day this year. The digital photo files have been sent out to the parents. It was emailed out to to the email address used when registering the player, so if you did not get it, that email address is where it will be. If you don’t have access to that address, check with your team manager.

With the digital files you can get your own prints made and you can share the photos on social media and by email. If you are interested in a memory mate like what was used to be handed out you can order one through this link: https://square.link/u/lW5KjMFU

As some of you have seen, at Equinox Creative they also offer other photo sessions, both individuals and to teams. There are examples on their site at http://equinoxcreative.ca/. They can recreate any or all of them, or make your own ideas come to life! These sessions will give you awesome photos that capture the kids in their element.

Contact rutger@equinoxcreative.ca for more information or booking. If your team does not have enough players but you are interested in having photos taken of your kids let them know and they can see if there is another team or combined group where your children can join a session.
