Branding photos

Courtney is an absolute dream to work with. My best is advice to anyone considering working with her is - do it now! I had planned various outfit changes for my branding shoot and she carefully chose which colors would work best on camera. What I didn’t expect is her out of box thinking on location and light that would put these photos in a category all their own. Her creativity is outstanding and I recommend letting go of any insecurities you may have during your session and let her take the lead. She will make you shine! I will continue to book Courtney for all professional projects!

Professional & Talented Photographer!

Courtney was an easy "yes" when booking a wedding photographer. Her bubbly personality and soft prompting made us feel right at home, leading to natural poses and somehow photogenic faces ;). Her assistant, Erika, mostly handled the groomsmen and my husband was so thankful for her small talk and calming nature before our first look. The engagement and wedding photos were absolutely STUNNING and we can't thank them enough for capturing our special day!!

Courtney is the Best!

We feel so lucky to have been able to work with Courtney for our wedding! We are absolutely obsessed with all of our photos - they are GORGEOUS! She did an amazing job capturing our special day, and we loved all the ideas she had and the variety of shots she took. She is the absolute sweetest and gave us great instructions since we weren't used to getting our photos taken professionally. She is friendly, kind, communicative, and professional and played a huge role in making sure our day ran smoothly and on schedule. It is very obvious that she has tons of experience in this industry, and we would highly recommend her!!
