Sports, Dance & Gymnastics Photography for Southeast Kansas Schools
Professional team and individual photography for athletic programs, dance studios, and gymnastics gyms. Organized, efficient, and built around your program.
Your athletes put in the work year-round. Their photos should reflect that.
I work directly with schools, coaches, athletic directors, dance studios, and gymnastics programs across Southeast Kansas to create team and individual portraits that are polished, modern, and genuinely worth keeping. From media day to senior banners to action photography, I handle everything so your staff does not have to.
Programs I work with
High school athletic programs — football, basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, track, and more
Dance studios and performance teams, Gymnastics gyms, and competitive programs
If your athletes compete, perform, or represent your school or studio, I can photograph them.
What AKP Sports includes
Team and Individual Portraits
Clean, professional images for athletes and their families. Every session includes both team photos and individual athlete portraits, so nobody goes home empty-handed.
Media Day Style Photography
High-impact images built for graphics, social media, banners, and program promotion. The kind of photos that make your program look like it means business, because it does.
Action and Performance Photography
Dynamic images that capture movement, energy, and the emotion of competition. Whether it is a football play, a dance routine, or a gymnastics floor pass, I know how to stop the moment.
Senior Banners
Custom banners that celebrate your senior athletes in a way that feels personal and program-worthy. Coordinated with your school and delivered directly.
Online Ordering
Families can access their images through an online gallery and order prints, digital files, and keepsake products directly. Free bulk shipping to the school is available, or orders can ship directly to families.

Built for athletic directors and coaches
I am not a high-volume school photo company. I am a relationship-based photographer who has spent years learning what Southeast Kansas schools actually need on picture day.
That means less stress for your staff, a smooth, organized session, and images your athletes are genuinely proud to share.
Here is what that looks like in practice:
- On-location photography at your school, studio, or gym
- Organized, efficient sessions that respect your schedule
- Consistent, professional look across all athletes and teams
- Easy online ordering for families with direct shipping options
- Senior banner coordination and delivery
- Fundraising opportunities for your program
- A photographer who communicates clearly and shows up prepared
You will not be managing chaos on picture day. That is my job.
How your media day comes together
1. Reserve your date.
Dates fill up early in the season. Reach out as soon as you know your schedule so we can get your program on the calendar.
2. Plan your look.
I help you choose banner styles, backdrop options, and media day visuals that fit your program and your school colors.
3. Picture day at your location.
I arrive on-site, set up, and run an organized session from start to finish. Your staff can focus on your athletes. I handle the photography.
4. Online ordering opens.
Families can view and order images through their personal online gallery. Simple, straightforward, no hassle.
5. Delivery.
Prints and products ship directly to families or in bulk to the school. Senior banners are delivered directly to your program.
A Parent's Perspective
"As a mom, I know how meaningful these photos become over time. These aren't just pictures for a season-they're keepsakes that represent years of hard work, growth, and memories, your family will look back on long after the final game."
That's why every session is designed to be both professional and personal.
What parents are saying
"April is a master behind the lens. She goes beyond taking sports photos—she captures the feeling of the game. Every touchdown, every basket, every cheer is preserved as a memory we’ll hold onto long after the season ends. We always have a great experience working with her."
Haley Morrison, Athlete Parent
"As a parent with two children in multiple sports, I appreciate a user-friendly process. The online ordering system is easy to use, the proofing process is seamless, and the delivery options are convenient. Most importantly, the photo quality is consistently excellent. I have been very happy with the entire experience and highly recommend April."

Your photographer
I am April Kroenke, a Certified Master Photographer based in Iola, Kansas, with more than 30 years of experience. I built AKP Sports because I believe every athlete deserves to feel seen, confident, and proud of how they are represented.
Whether it is a varsity football player, a competitive gymnast, or a senior dancer in her last performance season, I approach every session the same way. With intention, organization, and genuine care for the people in front of my camera.
Proudly serving Southeast Kansas
I work with schools, studios, and gyms across Southeast Kansas, including:

My approach
Investment
Every program is different, so pricing is customized based on your team size, session type, and the products and services your program needs. Most families customize their orders based on what matters most to them, whether that is a senior banner, digital images, prints, or keepsake products.
Contact me to start the conversation. I will prepare a quote for your specific program and get back to you within 24 hours.
