An artist creating imagery that is both elevated and grounded in real life.
I'm Courtney, a wife, a mother, champagne enthusiast and a soul drawn to the beauty in the details. Intentional by nature, I find meaning in the moments others might miss.
The heart of my work is emotional preservation—an art of capturing not just how it looked, but how it felt. I want my couples to return to their images and feel the rush of joy, the quiet in-between, the weight of love. And decades from now, for their grandchildren to gaze upon those same photographs and feel as though they had stood in the room, too.
Meet courtney
I believe in the quiet power of emotion and the sacredness of human connection to create images that are soft, joyful, and feel naturally effortless.
MY INSPIRATION
I. connection
First and foremost, as a wife and mother, I value capturing the connection between loved ones.
II. movement
Walking hand in hand, a flowing dress, a veil in the wind always spikes my creativity.
III. light
Playing with light and shadows and showering my frame with golden light fuels my artistry.
- Kendra & Andrew
We felt a genuine relationship with Courtney
"I was so sad when she was finished for the night and hugged us good-bye, not because I wanted more pictures but because I truly enjoyed having her there. She felt like another friend there to support us on our wedding day."
