Elite portrait experiences used to be the privilege of iconic athletes at the college and professional levels.
​
The rest of us had to rely on boring, uninspired images from photo services that treated you like a commodity. "Stand here, hold the ball, smile. Please buy this picture. NEXT!"
​
Those pictures never reflected what playing means to you. What this journey has given you. What this time in your life ultimately represents.
​
You deserve better.

Welcome to the Creative Sports Photography experience.

CSP's focus is on connecting with you, understanding who you are and why you love playing. That connection is the most important part of any portrait experience.

"Never have I come across a photographer that has so much passion for not only what he does but for the sport and player in general. A talent behind the lens but more importantly a friendly person."
