Forget everything you know about boring, traditional sports photos. This is NOT your average picture day. At D. Gabriel Studios, we’re cranking up the heat—literally—with our Fire & Smoke Sports Portrait Experience!
We’re talking dramatic lighting, bold poses, custom styling... and yes, REAL FIRE. Our Sports Fire & Smoke photos are a one-of-a-kind experience that brings your athlete’s personality and passion to life. And before you ask—no, your gear isn’t going up in flames. We are trained and experienced in working with fire in a way that’s safe, controlled, and genuinely epic.
Whether your child is an all-star baseball player, a fierce football player, a powerful gymnast, or a graceful cheerleader or dancer with a crown and armful of trophies—we’re ready to light that passion on fire. Your gymnast’s hard-earned medals? We’ll make them shine—literally. Your dancer’s crown and trophy? Let’s showcase it in a way that takes peoples' breathe away.
These sessions are designed to capture the heart, the hustle, and the pride behind every performance, competition, and victory. Whether your athlete plays on the field, competes on stage, or dominates in the gym, this is their moment to shine.
As a premium photography studio here in New Braunfels TX, we’ve curated an impressive signature collection and approach that we tailored to every athlete that blesses our doors. Want your football gear glowing in embers? Dreaming of your guitar surrounded by flames? Need your cheer uniform or band instrument to pop with personality? We’ve got you covered.
These portraits are bold. They’re powerful. And they’re, as I used before, genuinely epic. Your athlete won’t just remember this shoot—they’ll be proud to hang these images on their walls for years to come.
Ready to light your fire? Send us a message today to book your Fire & Smoke Portrait Experience and let’s create some magic.
Real Fire Studio Session
This studio session is about an hour long however we do not put a time on these. Schedule us for any day or time of the week. We will work around your schedule. You will be the only one we will be photographing for that day and time.
Full media day experience for the team or league.
This is a block of 2 to 4 or 6 hours that your whole team (or league) has blocked off to be creative with us. This is a set rate for a set amount of images per person.
This is a rotation of few easy and powerful poses one after the other real quick, 20-30 photos within a few minutes like an assembly line.
We will knock out regular portraits first, then the ones with smoke and fire.
This ranges from $40 to $150 per person.
Whether you're a parent of a star player of any sport or the rising talent of someone that plays an instrument, this unique session combines dramatic effects with professional artistry to showcase their passion like never before.
