since 2014

for those who love deeply and live authentically

I capture love and families as they truly are- the quiet glances, the laughter, and the in-between moments. By blending posed and candid photography, I create timeless images that feel natural, emotional and deeply personal.

Testimonials

" Courtney shot both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. I can’t stress enough how beautiful all of the photos have come out. My (now) husband and I had never used a professional photographer before our engagement shoot but Courtney was great to deal with. She helped with all the poses and gave us instructions on what to do and it made it so easy! Communication has always been great and she’s always quick to respond to emails/messages. I hope to use Courtney in the future for any more photography needs we have."

Stacey + Jamie

We’ve been working with Courtney for about eight years now, and I honestly wouldn’t trust our family photos with anyone else!! She has an incredible way of making everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which shows in every single photo. Our sessions never feel rushed or forced, and she always captures the real moments—the laughs, the connection, and the little details we’ll treasure forever. Every time we get our gallery back, I’m blown away. Her work is consistently beautiful, professional, and full of heart. She’s been documenting our family for years, and those photos mean everything to us!

Lauren + Brett

“Courtney photographed our wedding this past October and went above and beyond to make sure all special moments were captured on our day!

Not only was she so understanding and flexible with different family dynamics, but made it fun and comfortable to have our pictures taken!

We received our portfolio not long ago and we were blown away with the quality and how stunning each photo was!

We can’t recommend Courtney enough and will for sure use her services again to capture special family moments in the future."
