It's Time to Be Elite
For your family's athlete, this isn't just a chapter in their young life.
​
This is their life.
​
The triumphs, the tournaments, the training - it's as if their dreams are as close to being captured as they may ever be.
​
There's also an enormous amount of pressure, from building a personal brand to exciting their fans to enhancing their college recruiting profile.​
​
While this time doesn't last forever, their athletic journey will influence who they will become as they move into adulthood.
​
Who will you entrust with telling their story in a way that matches what this time in their lives means?
​
Welcome to Creative Sports Photography's BE ELITE - SIGNATURE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE FOR YOUNG ATHLETES.
How It Works
Creative Sports Photography, the vision of veteran image maker Dave Pidgeon, provides premier visual services and products for young athletes and their families.
The images and legacy products are designed to showcase the young athlete's journey and who they are as a competitor and person.
​
Each portrait session lasts 1-2 hours and generates a trove of images in CSP's signature Be Elite portrait style, which is unavailable anywhere else. The images are designed be printed poster size, to excite your social media audience, to enhance college recruiting profiles, and more.
​
Dave will collaborate with you and the competitor in your family on developing a customized portrait plan that gets exactly what you need. The initial session investment is $350 plus Pennsylvania sales tax, and there is a $1,500 commitment for prints and/or digital file downloads.
​
What makes the experience consistently successful is the respect CSP has for your family's athlete, establishing a meaningful connection so your son or daughter feels heard, seen, and is the star of every portrait.
​
​
"Hire someone who
LOVES
what they do and are passionate about it!!
Dave is kind and full of joy!!"
-Sarah P.

Be Elite Athlete Videos
As part of its Be Elite portrait experiences, CSP is proud to offer narrative feature videos for your youth athlete.
​
​These videos can be used to send to college recruiters as an introduction to your family's athlete, on social media, as a way to capture endorsement and NIL deals, and so on.
​
CSP captures B Roll footage during the portrait session and conducts a relaxed one-on-one interview so your athlete can tell his or her story - where they are, where they've been, and where they're going on their journey.
​
Videos last between 3-5 minutes and are delivered in high resolution 4K.
​
CSP's chief image maker Dave Pidgeon is an experienced, veteran journalist who brings his interview skillset to help tell your young athlete's story in a compelling, narrative way.
