ME:

A mom on a mission, watching my kids FLY through their childhood while I grow as a parent with them is such a roller coaster of emotions. I know everyone says it goes by so fast, but man are they right. I can’t make life slow down, but I CAN document the moments that are happening right now. Moments that will give you a journey back in time when you look at them. Pictures that will help you remember your baby in your womb, those tiny fingers and toes, that little dimple, the toothy (or toothless) smile you couldn’t get enough of. So who am I? I’m a mom, documenter of memories, capturer of authentic moments and the girl you want behind the camera.

YOU:

It finally happened. You’re bursting with joy to tell EVERYONE that you’re adding to your family. Your new addition has just arrived. so sweet and adorable, you can’t wait to show the world. Your tiny little bundle is growing so fast, you want to remember these moments before they slip away.
Wherever you are on your parenthood journey: This is an amazing time in your life. That’s where I come in - Not sure what to book? Need some help navigating your budget? Can’t decide what to wear? Unsure of it all?

I. GOT. YOU.

US:

Let’s do this thing. I’m here to walk with you through it all: Figuring out the perfect session for you, booking, styling and location, your session day, downloading your images, purchasing prints and artwork, and wall mock ups so you can see just how your images will look in your home.
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE:
That’s just the business side! I’m also here for encouragement, support, advice, snacks, or just to chat. You shouldn’t feel alone in this process and I will do everything I can to make sure of it.
So, what are you waiting for? We could be sipping lattes, planning your session, and talking about dogs. ;)
Contact me today, I can’t wait to meet you!

XOXO,
Courtney

Courtney works magic!! She has done multiple different sessions for me (family, graduation, couples) and will be doing my upcoming maternity/newborn pictures. She makes you feel super comfortable and is so so kind. - Mollie


 Courtney was amazing! She was able to schedule us for a newborn session really quickly. She was so nice and really knew what she was doing when wrapping our baby. The selection of props she had for us to choose from was incredible. We couldn't be happier with our pictures and our experience overall. ❤ -Jennifer


Courtney has photographed my maternity all the way through my daughters milestones! She is the best photographer I’ve come across. Years later I STILL get people asking me who did my maternity photos because they’re phenomenal! I tell EVERYONE to book Courtney! She is so easy to talk to and is so so good with my daughter who can be a bit wild! She’s a natural at what she does and everyone needs a Courtney in their life! 🖤 - Kendra


Courtney is a great photographer to work with! We recently hired her to do our maternity and newborn pictures. These were some of the most special moments of our family’s life and I’m glad she was able to capture them so beautifully. She was very personable, responsive, patient, and kind.
Something that stood out to me about Courtney is that she offers a client closet. She had me come to her studio and try on dresses so I knew which ones worked for me. This was very convenient considering you wouldn’t wear a big beautiful maternity dress twice, and all of hers are gorgeous!! She also has a large variety of props, swaddles, and outfits for the babies. You can tell she wants to give her clients the best experience she can.
We live a while away but it was worth the drive and we would do it again. We are more than happy with our experience and our pictures! - Audrey
