2026 Team Picture Day
Welcome to Team Picture Days with Creative Sports Photography
Welcome, Manheim Township!
I'm excited to work with your club this season and to deliver a Team Picture Day experience that feels organized, professional, and worth your time.
At Creative Sports Photography, the goal is simple: match the level of effort your athletes bring every day. Your players put in the work, and their portraits should reflect that.
This page is your central hub for everything you need—schedules, details, and answers to common questions.
You’ll also find an email sign-up form below. When your image gallery is ready, everyone who signs up will receive an email with the gallery link and password.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out anytime:

Looking forward to getting started.

How Team Picture Day Works
Creative Sports Photography has worked with sports clubs for years to create a Team Picture Day process that is both efficient and high-quality.
Each player is photographed in multiple looks, giving families real choice when it comes to selecting images.
The goal is simple: move beyond the single, standard photo and create images that reflect the athlete and their season.
With a background in journalism and mentoring, I focus on helping athletes feel comfortable in front of the camera—especially those who may be more reserved. The result is natural, confident images that feel authentic.
After Team Picture Day, all images are carefully selected and professionally edited before being delivered in a secure, password-protected gallery.
Families will have at least four weeks to view their gallery and order prints, digital images, and keepsakes.

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.

Team Picture Day FAQs
DO PARENTS HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING UPFRONT FOR PHOTOS?
Nope! Down to my core, I do not believe in making parents pay for images before they see them. I don't consider that to be a good, customer-focused business practice. Besides, I love the incentive of bringing my A Game to every single portrait session to deliver amazing images you actually want to own.
DO YOU OFFER PRINTS 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.
WHAT IF MY PLAYER MISSES TEAM PICTURE DAY? WILL THERE BE MAKEUPS?
Unfortunately, due to sickness or injury or vacations and so on, a swimmer might miss team picture day. At this time, no make up date is schedule. My hope is to return in 2027 with LDR Swimming.
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 ORDER
That's a great question, and I want to answer it with full disclosure. The minimum $25 is set to ensure Creative Sports Photography's sustainability. Without it, CSP would not stay in business and not be able to provide premium portraits to young athletes like yours.
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.
