I’m here to capture more than just what your day looked like. I’m here to capture how it felt. Whether it’s your wedding day, a chaotic family cuddle pile, or a quiet brand moment. I turn real, fleeting moments into cinematic keepsakes.

Let's Tell Your Story!

Whether it’s the joy of a wedding day, the warmth of a family gathering, or the essence of your brand, I aim to create images that resonate with authenticity and emotion.

  • "Courtney completely exceeded my expectations on our engagement photos. They turned out amazing! We were worried that posing for a stranger was going to awkward, but Courtney was so nice and made us feel comfortable the entire time." - Ashley

  • "Courtney is absolutely amazing and is literally the sweetest person!! My fiancé and I are really awkward in pictures and were very nervous going in. She made being in front of the camera so comfortable and effortless, we had so much fun!! She puts so much effort into your pictures and I still can’t choose my favorite one because I love them all!" - Shelbi

  • " Courtney captured our wedding so perfectly! I knew I wanted to book Courtney after seeing her work on Instagram and meeting her on Zoom! She is the sweetest person and such a pleasure to work with! Her photography has strong storytelling which is something very important to me. She was so helpful during all the planning and made sure every detail was in place. I highly recommend her as your photographer for any event. Such a sweet gal and such talented work!" - The Bitontis

  • The best photographer but also the kindest soul. Never disappointed and look forward for every time I get to see Courtney. She is so well rounded. Will be my photographer forever!" - Amanda

  • I was fortunate enough to have Courtney photograph my wedding recently. She really made the wedding day madness a breeze to get through. From providing a detailed day of timeline, to helping see it through and gracefully handling any changes thrown her way, I couldn’t have asked for more! I haven’t even seen all of the pictures yet, but I’m still swooning over the sneaks! The final product is truly a work of art. Do yourself a favor and book her for all of your photography needs… But if you still need more convincing just check out her social media. Her work speaks for itself! - The Conwells
