While it is certainly not a must, I do recommend you get your make up done if you have time! It can make a huge difference in your photos.

​The best lighting occurs within the last 1-2 hours before sunset, often called “golden hour.” The exact time changes depending on the season, location, and weather. I am also open to early morning shoots if your little ones thrive in the morning.




Yes, you can use your photos online and make your own prints. You will also have the option to purchase prints, wall art, and greeting cards through your online gallery.

On average, you can expect to come away with 40-50 images from session with me.

Once your photos are ready, you will receive an email with a link to an online, gallery where you can view, download and order prints from.

Frequently Asked Questions

The freedom to feel comfortable & confident just as you are

IN MY OPINION, THE BEST IMAGES COME FROM A  MAGIC COMBO OF A FEW SIMPLE THINGS:

love notes

- Mel & Chris

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.”

- Emily & Trey

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!!”

- jess & will

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.”
