why i'm here...

hi there,

i'm courtney

To find beauty in the little things and the everyday moments

I love to capture people as they are — laughing, hugging, being a bit chaotic, and just living the moment. Whether it’s your wedding day, a family session, or a portrait you’ll actually want on the wall, I’m there to capture the real stuff — the little moments that make your day or your life feel like you.

Photos are the things you’ll actually look back onthe tiny moments you didn’t even notice at the time.

My family knows how much they matter.

We lost someone when I was young, and the photos we have of them now are priceless. That’s why I take what I do seriously, and why I want to capture memories you and your family will actually treasure.

So whether it’s your first big day as a couple, a relaxed afternoon at the beach, or just hanging out at home with your family,

I’ll be there to capture it naturally, honestly, and in a way that feels easy.

No awkward posing (unless you want a little direction), no stiff “smile for the camera” moments — just real life, frozen in time

Real laughs, real hugs, real life

captured for you to keep

And I promise to help you print your absolute favourites so you can see and enjoy them every day.

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.

I'm here for you and your love, however you want to celebrate it!

I'm here for the....

why i'm here...

I capture you exactly as you are. Whether it’s your wedding day, a family session, or a portrait you’ll actually want on the wall, I’m there to catch the laughs, the hugs, the little moments, and even the chaos that makes life feel real.

Photos are the things that stick with you.

They’re reminders of the laughter, the love, and the tiny moments you might not even notice at the time. That’s why I care so much about what I do — capturing memories that you, your kids, and your family will treasure for years to come

Life will always be busy, so make the time, book a shoot in,

CREATE THOSE memories for you,

for your kids, for your grandkids to look back on

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 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.

If that sounds like a bit of you then I can't wait to chat!!!
