How Team 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 the owner and Chief Image Maker behind Creative Sports Photography. A professional photographer and visual storyteller for more than 20 years, he founded the company with one goal: to give young athletes the same level of care, creativity, and professionalism that elite athletes receive.

As a former athlete, youth sports coach, and father of three athletes, Dave understands just how much time, commitment, and sacrifice go into every season. That perspective shapes every Picture Day, creating an experience that's organized, enjoyable, and focused on celebrating each athlete's hard work.

Known for his dramatic lighting and distinctive portrait style, Dave has photographed athletes throughout the Mid-Atlantic and has taught his signature lighting techniques to photographers from across the country. His work has become recognized for creating images that are both striking today and meaningful for years to come.

Whether he's photographing an entire team or creating an individual athlete portrait, Dave's priority remains the same: helping every athlete feel confident, respected, and proud of what they've accomplished.

Team 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.

WILL YOU OFFER PRINTS AND PRINT 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.

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 team picture day. At this time, no make up date is schedule.

HOW LONG AFTER TEAM PICTURE DAY WILL WE SEE THE PHOTOS?

Usually, culling and editing team picture day can take 1-3 weeks. This can be impacted by the volume of work, and there are certain seasons (Spring and late Fall) when turnaround times can be impacted. My goal, though, is to have them to you for ordering within three weeks, and I want to make sure I communicate with the entire club to provide updates on progress.

WHY IS THERE A MINIMUM $25 PER PRINT ORDER

 

The $25 minimum order helps Creative Sports Photography continue providing the high-quality photography, premium products, and personalized service that families have come to expect. It allows me to keep investing in professional equipment, top-tier print labs, and the time needed to create an exceptional Team Picture Day experience for every team I serve.

Thank you for supporting a locally owned small business. Your investment helps ensure I can continue serving athletes and their families for many seasons to come.

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.

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.
