Meet courtney

Stepping in front of a camera can be intimidating, even for those who are usually at ease in the spotlight. I get it. That’s why I focus on creating a laid-back environment through conversation, light direction, and humor to help you relax and be present in the moment.

Everyone has their own story, and I see my role as capturing that story authentically, without forcing anything. I’m there to catch the moments as they happen, while also being ready to guide when needed.

By balancing spontaneous, real-time interactions with intentional moments, I create an experience that feels genuine, with a sense of connection and intimacy at its heart.

I believe in human-centered photography, capturing your day with a creative eye and providing you with photos that will stand the test of time.

What makes me different?  I take on a very select number of events each year to ensure each couple receives the experience they deserve. No matter what.

love notes

"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 made me feel like she was another friend there to support me on my wedding day."
