My mission

I'm Cooper Prizer, a sports photographer based in NYC and a student athlete myself. My mom made it to nearly every game I ever played, rain or shine. I always knew where to find her in the stands. It wasn't until I got older that I noticed the empty spots on the bleachers, teammates whose biggest moments went uncaptured because no one was there to see them.

That's why I started Cooper's Giving Lens.

My mission is to deliver free, professional-quality photography to youth sports teams, schools, community organizations, and nonprofit events, capturing the moments that matter most and putting them in the hands of the people who'll treasure them.

Not every parent can be on the sidelines. Some are working, deployed, caring for family, or just too far away. That's real life. But one photo can close that gap, letting an athlete share their game-winning goal or a quiet moment of focus with the people who love them, wherever they are.

Every athlete deserves to have their story remembered. Cooper's Giving Lens is about giving memories, closing distance, and making sure no one's biggest moment goes unseen.
