It started with my son's first kick of a soccer ball. One shot. Then another. Then a few thousand more.
I'm Craig Colthorp, a Chester, NJ photographer who shoots youth sports because I can't stop. What started as a dad with a camera has grown into thousands of images across baseball, basketball, soccer, track, softball, and more. The goal is always the same: freeze the moments parents wish they could hold forever. The dirt on the uniform. The look of pure focus. The fist pump in the rain.
Whatever sport your kid plays, I want to shoot it.
Wind-ups, at-bats, diving catches, and the moments after. Indoor or outdoor, rain or sun — baseball delivers the drama.
