Testimonials
What school partners say about the process.
“Working with Sportrait Studios is a joy. Evan Pike and his team are incredibly easy to work with, communicate clearly, and consistently meet timelines, which significantly reduces the administrative burden on our staff. We continue to partner with Evan because he delivers high-quality images while making the entire process simple and stress-free season after season.”
“We've really valued working with Evan and his team at Sportrait Studios. Choosing to photograph our headshots outdoors instead of against a standard blue backdrop was a game-changer — the images feel natural, distinctive, and aligned with our school's personality, and parents consistently comment on how much they love them. His team is professional, prompt, and excellent in communication, both in planning and on event days. We also appreciate that they offer high-quality sports photography, which fills a real gap for us and consistently elevates our yearbook and marketing materials.”
“We have worked with Evan Pike and Sportrait Studios for several years, beginning when I was a parent ordering my daughter's school photos and now as principal. Evan and his team are incredibly easy to work with, always flexible and responsive to both our school's needs and parent questions. The quality of their photography has also resulted in strong photo order revenue for our school.”
“Our Preschool through 5th Grade independent school has partnered with Evan Pike Photography and Sportrait Studios for over 12 years, and we couldn't be more pleased with the relationship. Evan is a pleasure to work with and has a wonderful way of putting even our youngest students at ease, resulting in consistently beautiful school photos. He is organized, reliable, and allows us to schedule our photo dates well in advance. He also manages all parent communication with professionalism and care, which takes a significant burden off our office staff. We truly value his partnership and highly recommend Evan Pike Photography to other schools.”
“I absolutely love working with Evan Pike Photography/Sportrait Studios. They are reliable, dependable, professional, and consistently deliver exceptional quality. Their communication is proactive and clear, making planning easy and stress-free, and they always respond quickly with solutions when challenges arise. They don't just feel like a vendor, but like long-time friends who genuinely care about our school. I highly recommend them to any school looking for a positive, high-quality photography partnership built on trust, collaboration, and excellence.”

Evan, Founder & Lead Photographer
Evan is a Cary, NC native who attended magnet and private schools in Raleigh and Cary through high school, so serving local schools is personal to him. He treats every school, athletic department, and league like family and leads each picture day with patience, consistency, and care. He focuses on bringing out each child's individual personality while helping schools run smooth, low-stress photo days. He loves basketball and spending time with his wife and son, and he brings that same energy and heart to every photo day. In the off-season, he leads photography tours of Japan.

As Studio Manager, Christina is the calm point of contact behind each successful picture day. She handles family phone calls and emails, uses her deep knowledge of the behind-the-scenes photo day process to anticipate parent needs, and makes sure questions are answered quickly so schools can stay focused on their students.
