hi there!
I'm Courtney,

Thanks for stopping by to check out my little piece of the internet!
I have a relaxed and candid style that's all about capturing the real, heartfelt moments that make you unique.
No cheesy poses or forced smiles around here!
If you are nervous about being photographed
or how the process works, don't worry, i've got you!
After being in the industry for almost 10 years now I have a few good tricks up my sleeve to help you feel at ease during your session. I will also help guide you before the shoot with all sorts of information that may be helpful as well.
Sit down, grab a coffee and have a look around.
If you still have questions after having a good nosey through my website, just send me a message.
I would love to chat!
I am a sucker for love, happiness and all of the wonderful chaos that it brings with it!
I'm a coffee-sipping, color-loving, flower-obsessed homebody. An ocean lover and a sun seeker, forever dreaming of new countries to explore and new adventures to have in NZ.
I'm so excited to meet and learn more
about you too!

Omg courtney!!! You are absolutely amazing!!! Aaaargh We both cried like a baby during the slideshow! And you overlayed the song the boys sang- that is just the most amazing attention to detail and absolutely made this whole experience for us.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our day so beautifully- and also for being such an amazing part of our day. It felt like we had another life long friend there. The amount of effort you put in- wrangling the family, getting James wine during the speeches- just so above and beyond and we are so grateful we know you.
Seriously I don’t know if you know how fabulous and special you are but you really made our day. Thank you so so much.
The photos are just so beautiful! I’m not even all the way through them and had to stop and email you back! And the packaging and everything- just shows you care and we appreciate that so much!
So much love to you beautiful lady and we would love love love to keep in touch. You are such a special human and we are so blessed to have met you.
Thank you xxxx
Kate, James and Stan xxxx
