Hi, Y'all! I'm Courtney.

I'm a traditional job holder by day, and photographer by night.. or free time, to be more accurate. I've spent most of my working life in the childcare field, managing a before and after school program and as an Accounts Receivable Billing Clerk and began my journey into Professional Photography in 2014.

I've had a strong passion for photography since I turned six years old and received my first camera-- a pink "barbie" kodak film camera. It was complete freedom to my childhood mind and nothing in the world could ever make me happier.

Over the years, as my life evolved and things have come and gone, I have remained steadfast in my devotion and enthusiasm for photography.

I have a grand fondness and desire to capture moments of love, life and family throughout all stages of life, and discovering and observing God's love, joy and happiness that's all around us.

I love all things "Shabby Chic" and have WAY TOO MANY Mason Jars for craft projects I've yet to start (tell me what woman doesn't... please... I seriously might need to take notes) and in 2012, I was blessed to be able to marry Josh, who was, and remains, one of the most wonderful and supportive people in my life. Josh encourages me, everyday, to do and be what makes me happiest; he even [occassionally] supports and encourages my addiction of all things elephant related. ;)

I have a life full of love and happiness and I get to share that with wonderful friends and family. I thank God for giving me such a blessed life and my greatest joy is being able to create and share so many wonderful moments that will stand the test of time!

XOXO
