I am proud to announce the official launch of COURTNEY RUDICEL PHOTOGRAPHY (pronounced “rude-iss-sell”) and I am over the moon excited about it!! But, honestly, just four short months ago, I absolutely hated the thought of this.

This flower garden engagement session features a rainbow of lush blossoms as we explored Matter Park in Marion last week! With her ivory body suit and high-waisted jeans, Mackenzie rocks some serious Joanna Gaines vibes!

I’m sharing three strategies that I have learned from experience on how to grow your photography business through social media. Through Personal Marketing, Consistency and Relevancy, (and some work) you can successfully grow a profitable business working with your dream clients!

This session features a stylized beach picnic with charcuterie and champagne and views of Lake Michigan at the Empire Bluffs trail overlooking a stunning Michigan sunset.

This Coxhall Gardens engagement session in Carmel, Indiana features a gorgeous couple in formal attire, an abundance of golden hour sunset light and gardens of lush florals.
