Volleyball photo collage, made from your own photos
The knee pads that never came off. The first serve that finally went over. Early bus rides, team dinners, the huddle before the last point of the season. A volleyball photo collage is cut to a volleyball player standing tall, one hand up at her head and the ball on her hip, and filled with every match, every practice and every teammate who was there for it.

How many photos fit
Every figure comes from the layout engine rather than a rule of thumb. The suggested count is where each photo prints about two inches across, big enough to make out a face from across the room. The minimum is 12 photos; below that, parts of the outline can be left without a photo. The player is a tall figure, so a portrait print suits her best, and the button opens a 20 × 30″ print.
| Print size | Photos | Suggested |
|---|---|---|
| 12 × 12″ | 12–60 | 12 |
| 12 × 18″ | 12–100 | 15 |
| 16 × 20″ | 12–140 | 25 |
| 16 × 24″ | 12–170 | 30 |
| 20 × 20″ | 12–180 | 25 |
| 20 × 30″ | 12–275 | 50 |
| 24 × 24″ | 12–250 | 40 |
| 24 × 36″ | 12–375 | 70 |
| 30 × 40″ | 12–525 | 110 |
| 36 × 54″ | 12–875 | 170 |
| 40 × 60″ | 12–1075 | 200 |
Questions
Is the ball made of photos too?
No, and that’s on purpose. The volleyball is a real photo of a ball, laid over the outline so it stands out against all your pictures. Everything else in the shape is your photos.
Will it suit her if she plays a different position?
Yes. The outline is a player at rest between points, not a setter or a libero mid-play, so it suits any position. Your photos show what she actually did on the court.
Can I use it for Senior Night?
It’s one of the most popular uses. Fill it with every season from her first club team to her last home game, and put her name and number underneath. Our volleyball Senior Night page has more ideas for the night.
What occasions is it good for?
- Senior Night, ready for the gym wall or the poster table
- The end-of-season banquet, with the whole team inside one player
- A coach’s thank-you gift, signed by every player
- Her graduation party, next to the cap and gown photos
- A first year of club volleyball, from nervous to fearless
Which photos should I put in it?
- Mid-dig, knees on the floor
- The team huddle, hands in the middle
- Every jersey number she ever wore
- The little girl with the ball bigger than her head
- The Senior Night hug with Mom and Dad
What can I write under the outline?
- Emma · #12 · Class of 2027
- Every dig, every serve
- Leave it all on the court
- Thanks for the memories, Coach
- Our setter, our captain, our girl
