Des Moines Iowa + BEYOND wedding AND LIFESTYLE photographer
your JOURNEY, one moment at a time
documenting
Whether it's the most important day of your life or the small, sacred moments in between, your love story deserves to be captured. Experiencing your incredible connection and getting to document that for you to look back on for the rest of your life is exactly why I do what I do and I'm so looking forward to making that happen for you.
Heartfelt photography for the wildly in love
Let me start by saying that capturing life's most meaningful moments is an absolute passion of mine. I genuinely believe that these memories are what we hold onto when our loved ones are no longer with us, and that's why I take my job very seriously. I understand that hiring a photographer is a big decision, and I feel incredibly honored that you've chosen me to document this special time in your life. Whether it's a wedding, a family portrait session, or any other milestone event, my goal is to create lasting memories you'll treasure for years. To achieve this, I believe that building a strong connection and fostering trust is essential. That's why I take the time to get to know my clients personally and understand what makes your story unique.
hey hey, I'm courtney
I understand that having your photos taken can be a nerve-wracking experience, so I take a gentle approach to direct you during our sessions. I want to capture genuine emotions, not force you into awkward, cheesy poses. I believe that every family and couple has a unique story to tell, and I promise to honor that by authentically capturing your family or relationship.
Whether we're taking engagement photos in the city or running around the park with your children and furry friends for a family photo shoot, I will make sure we have a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. I want to get to know you and your loved ones and work together to create images that reflect your personalities and the life you lead. So rest assured, I will tell your story with honesty and authenticity, and photograph images that are a true reflection of you.
what really happened
LET ME CAPTURe
She found the most incredible location for our engagement photos, made us feel SO comfortable and the photos we ended up with are more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. We're so happy we connected with her and can't wait to have her shoot our wedding!
“Courtney is one of the most kind and talented souls we've ever met.”
We booked a family session with Courtney to capture our daughter's six months and she delivered such beautiful photos. Thank you!!
“THEY ARE SO PERFECT! I don't know how you do it, but they turned out great!! You're the best, thank you!!”
If you're thinking about booking Courtney.. do it! Even though we were a little nervous about being in front of the camera, we had such a good time. We can't even believe how amazing the photos turned out and we're really looking forward to hiring her again in the future!
“She made our couples session so easy and lots of fun.”
