Sheena Gallegos

Owner/Photographer

Hi, I’m Sheena, owner and photographer behind Next Level Sports Photography.

I’ve spent more than 13 years behind the camera, helping people and businesses tell their stories through photography and design. But as a mom of young athletes, I saw an opportunity to bring something different to youth sports photography.

I wanted to create the kind of images our athletes deserve—bold, professional portraits that capture their confidence, personality, and love for the game.

Today, I work with individual athletes, teams, leagues, clubs, and schools throughout the Las Vegas area, creating everything from high-impact sports portraits and team photography to complete their picture-day experiences.

For organizations, my goal is to make picture day as easy as possible. I handle the photography, individual galleries, parent ordering and fulfillment, allowing coaches and administrators to focus on their athletes instead of managing photo orders.

Most importantly, I know these aren't just pictures. They're a record of a season, a team, an accomplishment, and a chapter of childhood that goes by incredibly fast.

Tiffanie Kotake

Hi, I’m Tiffanie, I’m a wife and mom of two, with one child in college and one in middle school. My passion for photography began in college, where I studied photography and later spent several years assisting with wedding photography.

Today, I have the opportunity to photograph schools and students throughout the Las Vegas Valley.

As a mom of an athlete, I spend much of my free time on the sidelines and at sports fields, cheering on my own athlete and capturing the moments along the way. I know firsthand how meaningful it is to preserve the hard work, excitement, and memories that come with an athlete’s journey.

I’m so excited to partner with Next Level Photography and have the opportunity to capture those same moments for other athletes and their families.
