Overview
Memory Mates are a staple in sports photography. This article explains what they are, and how you can create and integrate them using GotPhoto.
What are Memory Mates?
Memory Mates combine an athlete’s portrait with a team photo into one display. They’re popular keepsakes for families and coaches in school and youth sports photography. A typical layout includes a larger team photo with a smaller individual image and may also feature team names, logos, or dates.
