This Time In Our Athletes' Lives Won't Last Forever
Creative Sports Photography, founded by veteran journalist and photographer Dave Pidgeon, creates premium portrait experiences for youth and high school athletes throughout Central Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia suburbs. Our signature Be Elite Athlete Portrait Experience celebrates the dedication, resilience, and passion that define an athlete's journey, transforming years of hard work into striking artwork families will treasure for generations.
Whether commemorating a senior season, building a personal brand, or creating professional imagery for recruiting and social media, every session is thoughtfully designed to tell each athlete's unique story with bold, dramatic imagery and exceptional craftsmanship.
Meet Dave
I'm a former athlete, youth sports coach, and the proud father of three boys. As the parent of a teenage athlete myself, I understand just how much dedication, sacrifice, and emotion go into every season. That's why I believe the moments that define an athlete's journey deserve to be remembered with more than ordinary photographs.
Every athlete has a story. My job is to help tell it in a way your family will be proud to display for years to come.

"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."
