Typical portraits today are just… Typical

Tired of standing in line each season for sports photos that look exactly like everyone else’s?

Wish you didn’t have to bribe your kids to look like they’re enjoying a portrait session?

Sad to see your family’s photos disappear from social media after a day or so?

A work of art that’s uniquely YOU

LIMITLESS design possibilities. Dramatic lighting, on location or in studio.

EPIC artwork customized just for you.

Imagination is the only limitation.

See the difference a design makes

With you & your kids INVOLVED in portrait design, what was once mundane becomes THRILLING.

The excitement is contagious.

See YOUR superstar on the wall every day

Your kids feel VALUED when they see themselves as artwork.

Your memories are PRESERVED with heirloom quality products. 

 

We’ve been there, too

Frustrated with underwhelming “mall studios” and cookie-cutter sports portraits of our own kids, we embarked on a quest over 10 years ago with one goal in mind…

Create jaw-dropping portrait art that demands to be displayed.

 

"I have used Chris Snyder Creative for the past two years for senior banners and posters and he is amazing! What he produces looks high-end like a professional level sports team. 10/10 recommend!"

– Rebecca M.

"Thanks, Chris! Our players and parents were very impressed with the pictures this season. Much better than the standard team picture they are used to seeing."

– Nate S.

Meet Chris

Mild-mannered engineer by day…husband, dad, & artist always

Designing has been in my blood since my first Lego set as a young kid.  In 4th grade, I dabbled in building my own mini-golf course (don’t ask how that turned out!)  Then from treehouses, to hay forts, to elaborate high school “themed pranks”, to robots, and to eventual Air Force engineering, the drive to create has been a daily part of my life.

I’d be honored to design a custom portrait experience just for you.

Don’t just take OUR word for it

Take a quick peek into the excitement a custom designed portrait can cause.  We love creating reactions like this!

So how does this work?  We’re glad you asked 

1.

Schedule your “creative consultation”

Let us get to know you and design a custom plan that showcases your style, personality, & talent. Location, lighting, posing, & even wardrobe – we can design it all for you!

2.

Crush your photo shoot

In studio or on location, we’ll guide you to capture your best ‘you’. And by making each photo shoot enjoyable, not only do we capture memories… we make them.  

3.

Order your artwork

We’ll help you choose your favorites and select which print styles match your style and decor. We design custom wall galleries & albums, and can show how your images will look hanging on your walls before they’re even printed.

Create an epic portrait experience for your entire sports team

You’ve worked hard… let us showcase the talent on your team.

Refuse to Settle

Most people think of portraits as a chore, and instead settle for thousands of phone snapshots that never see the light of day.

You’re the kind of parent who wants everyone to know just how amazing your kids are. You sacrifice your time (& theirs) at countless sports, music, or dance practices, and although they may not be a professional athlete, musician, or dancer (yet!)…

they’re already a superstar in your eyes.

Not only do you want them to know it, you’d like the whole world to get a glimpse of their awesomeness as well.

You need to capture this point in time in a special way. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but your camera roll (and perhaps your fridge) are already full of typical snapshots and sports magnets.

Plus, in today’s media saturated world, posting to social media results in a few quick ‘likes’ and comments… and then it’s gone.

Too often our kids never get to see lasting evidence of the pride we have in them.

We’ve been in exactly the same place with our own kids, and we struggled with the guilt of not wanting to order the “same old soccer pictures” every year.

 

That’s why we developed something special

 What kid (or adult, for that matter) doesn’t dream of being the next professional athlete? We might not be able to call them up to the ‘big show’, but we can build a professional photo shoot that is custom-designed to give them the star treatment.

We focus the entire process on them, capture their determination and drive, and create epic images to hang on the wall to proudly display for all to see.

What can you expect?

First, we’ll schedule a brief phone/video consultation so we can hear your story and get to learn all about your superstar. At that point, our design process kicks into high gear, and we’ll develop a plan for an on-location or in-studio photo shoot (or both!) 

Next, we’ll conduct your photo shoot (the fun part!) We take care of the locations, the lighting, the posing… just sit back and enjoy the experience.

Finally, we’ll meet with you to choose your favorite shots and how you’d like to display your artwork. For wall art, we can even create digital mockups of your walls to show you exactly what your artwork will look like in person. We walk you through the entire process. No surprises. Just excitement and epic artwork.
