If you’ve been around SJP for a while, you know that what I like to call “Sportraits” have completely stolen my heart. There’s just something so exciting about combining athletic energy with the creativity of photography – the result is bold, dynamic, and absolutely one-of-a-kind.

So of course, the Just Do It Sportrait shoot had to make its return this year! Four of my amazing Class of 2026 Mod Squad girls stepped in front of the camera to bring their sports, passions, and personalities to life – Aaliyah, Aubrie, Sofia, and Alyson.

Aaliyah kicked things off with confidence and sparkle. From her theater dreams to her modeling goals, this girl is unstoppable. Her personality shines through in every photo, and her joy is contagious – making her Just Do It session pure gold.

Next up was Aubrie, who showed off her skills on both the softball field and the volleyball court. With powerful swings and fearless spikes, she brought her A-game every step of the way. And the best part? She lives by the quote, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” You can see that energy in every single image.

Sofia’s session was all about movement and artistry. Dance isn’t just a hobby for her – it’s life. The way she came alive in front of the camera was unforgettable, and I loved being able to capture her grace, strength, and years of dedication in motion.

And last but not least, Alyson brought the fire to the volleyball court. With powerful serves, fearless energy, and her outgoing personality, she showed exactly why she’s such a force both on and off the court. Whether she’s playing for school or traveling for club, Alyson pours her heart into every game.

Each of these sessions was electric in its own way, and I’m so grateful to these girls (and their parents!) for going all-in to make the Just Do It shoot with the Mod Squad such a success. Sportraits take planning, time, and teamwork, but the payoff is seeing these athletes and artists shine in their element.

I think it’s safe to say Sportraits are officially a forever favorite here at SJP. Ready to create your own? Let’s make it happen! Reach out today to start planning your custom Sportrait session.
