why i'm here...

hi there,

i'm courtney

To find beauty in the little things and the everyday moments

To capture you, exactly as you are, in this moment. Whether it is for a wedding, for a family or simply to create a beautiful portrait. I want to capture the pure joy, the happiness, the wonder, the chaos and the beauty of that exact moment.

I want to be the person freezing those memories for you, getting them on the wall and creating unique art that is about you at this time in your life.

Photos really are one of the few things in life that truly become more precious as time goes on, you never know the value of a moment until it has changed.

Anyone who has ever lost someone will understand this.

My immediate family were one of the unlucky few who lost someone in early childhood, the value of those photos and the memories they hold are just so so important.

Take the photos guys, create those memories for you, for your kids, for your grandkids.

Let them look at the album from your wedding and point out all their aunts and uncles.

Let them laugh at the weird outfit they insisted on wearing for those family photos when they were little.

Look back on those photos and remember how you thought you had wrinkles then but really you truly did look so beautiful, you just couldn’t see it.

I want to be that person that captures that beauty for you. I want to capture your first big day as a married couple or a relaxed beach afternoon or just an ordinary day at home with your family.

Tomorrow isn’t promised — let me document you with your favourite people as you are today.

My wild, chaotic, lovely, creative, kind and wonderful wee humans.

These are my people, I love them, I love documenting our everyday life and making memories for them to look back on.

I understand what it's like to have a kid who doesn't quite want to play ball, who just wants to run off and explore in their own way, who decides that NOW is the time that they need food.

For your session we will always work around what your family needs, we will have fun, photograph the wild times and the beautiful ones as they unfold, If things don't quite go to plan we can take a breather, capture some quiet moments and then continue. I want your family photoshoot to be a fun, enjoyable experience for you all. So you come away knowing you spent some quality time together as a family and that we created some incredible memories.

WE COULD BE A GREAT FIT IF:

-You are excited to receive a perfectly imperfect gallery full of love and photographs that capture you, exactly as you are

-You know the little moments I photograph are going to be so important in years to come

-You understand I wont make you feel uncomfortable and I will encourage you to be yourselves during your session

-You are excited to spend some time having fun with your loved ones

-You want this time in your life photographed truthfully down to the meltdowns and wild energy and anything else that doesn't quite go to plan.

& because you are excited to document this wonderful time in your life

we aren't perfect but gosh I love this little crew of mine and the adventures we have

What to see more family work?

SOUNDS GOOD!

BOOK ME IN PLEASE!

Your Wedding,

Your Way

Before I got married I knew weddings were awesome, I had been photographing them for years but then I got married. And holy crap WEDDINGS ARE AWESOME!

All of your favourite people in one place, it is honestly the best feeling in the world. I want that for you! That love, that happiness, that pure and wonderful joy!

And I want to capture all of those feelings for you!

I want you to do whatever you want for your wedding because I know it will be perfect for you in every way!

You don't want a white dress - fine! Wear what you want.

You don't want a cake - all good, have a pinata.

Pick the things that are important to you and bring YOU joy. Create a wedding that is about you as a couple and what you love.

I'll capture all of that goodness for you and make sure you never forget it!

Anyway, here are some of my absolute favourite moments from our day that always bring me joy to look back on.
