How Picture Day Works
This ain't your typical football season, and it certainly should not be a boring, typical picture day either.
I'm a former player and youth sports coach, and with that experience, I've developed a picture day system that maximizes efficiency without sacrificing quality (and maintains the integrity of practice).
Each player will receive multiple looks (or poses) so that parents have choice when it comes to ordering their favorite pictures. My specialty, honed over the years, is to creatively use where players make their memories - their home field - to convey who they are and what playing means to them.
Once all the players have had the opportunity to have their portraits taken, then we'll take the group picture.
After picture day, the images will be culled and edited, then uploaded to a password-protected gallery. You'll be able to order vibrant prints, high res digital downloads, and keepsakes, which will be delivered right to your door.

Meet Your Photographer
Dave Pidgeon is a seasoned photographer and professional storyteller who has worked in media production for more than two decades.
Dave's expertise in on-location lighting and high-end portraiture, in combination with his own experiences as a player, coach, and father, led him to start Creative Sports Photography in 2021.
Creative Sports Photography's signature style and athlete portrait experiences are highly sought after by athletes and photographers alike. He's worked with athletes in multiple states across all levels, and he's taught his lighting and portrait methods to photographers from across the country.
More importantly, though, he's dedicated to making athlete portrait sessions relaxed, enjoyable, and focused first and foremost on respecting the athlete.

Picture Day FAQs
DO PARENTS HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING UPFRONT FOR PHOTOS?
Nope! I don't believe in that, actually. You only pay for the photos you want after you see them in the password-protected online gallery. For me, that maintains the incentive to create images you actually want to have.
DO YOU OFFER PRINT AND DIGITAL PACKAGES?
Oh yeah. CSP utilizes one of the nation's top print labs to provide high quality print products and gifts, and while there are ala carte options, I also offer print and digital packages. The entire product and price list is below by clicking here.
WHY IS THERE A MINIMUM $25 PER ORDER?
Creative Sports Photography has been around for five years, and I hope to be around for many more seasons. The minimum $25 per order is in place to ensure CSP's sustainability.
WHAT IF MY PLAYER MISSES TEAM PICTURE DAY? WILL THERE BE MAKEUPS?
Unfortunately, due to sickness or injury or vacations and so on, a player might miss media day. Creative Sports Photography will do everything in its power to accommodate your player on another day if practical.
HOW LONG AFTER TEAM PICTURE DAY WILL WE SEE THE PHOTOS?
My goal is to deliver team picture day images within one week of the event. While this can be impacted by the volume of work (busiest seasons are in the Spring and Fall), I will do everything in my power to deliver these to you in a timely fashion.
HOW LONG WILL WE HAVE TO ORDER THE PHOTOS?
As each team's final, edited image collection is finished, CSP publishes them to a central, online, password-protected gallery, where all the team pictures are stored. Everyone will have at least four weeks to order prints and gifts. In CPP's case, you'll definitely be able to order throughout the holiday season.
DO YOU ALSO PROVIDE GAME DAY PHOTOGRAPHY COVERAGE?
Yes I do! I provide it for both teams or individuals looking to have a package of professional images from a game or competition. For more information, check out this page.
GREAT! WHAT ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR PORTRAITS?
There's no year quite like your child's senior year. The last season, the last game, the last time they'll wear that uniform. It's one no one wants to forget, but memories do fade and high school seniors become young men and women faster than a parent wants to believe. Yes, Creative Sports Photography provides high school senior portraits as part of its signature Be Elite portrait experiences. Check it out here.
Prints and Digital Products
For too long, if we wanted prints of the athletes in our families, we had to buy uninspired photos.
Not any more.
CSP not only provides elite team picture day experiences but also high quality print and digital products meant to be seen prominently and to endure for decades to come.
