I'm a mama living this same season of life you are, and here's what I've learned — the moments that matter most are the ones that don't feel special while they're happening. I know how fast it goes, how you blink and suddenly everything is different, how you're too busy living it to stop and preserve it.
That's where I come in — not as an outsider with a camera, but as a mama who gets it and lives it too. You're too close to see what I can see. Let me document it honestly, before it's already behind you.
I'm not just A photographer — I'm a mama who understands exactly what this season feels like.
About COURNEY
I'm a mama first, photographer second. I know that these ordinary days you're living right now — the ones that feel long and hard, and the ones where you sometimes feel invisible — they're the ones you'll ache for someday.
Motherhood can feel like the most important work you'll ever do and somehow completely unseen at the same time. All day long you're pouring yourself out, remembering everyone's favorite things, and keeping the whole ship sailing. But does anyone see it?
I do mama, I see you. The way you're building a childhood they'll carry with them forever, that's everything and it deserves to be honored exactly as it is.

There's something magical about parents who aren't afraid to get down on the floor, chase their kids around the backyard, or pull each other close while little ones giggle between them. These are the moments that matter - when you're all in, fully present, embracing whatever comes your way.
PARENTS WHO ARE ALL IN

I love to watch how moments unfold because that's where the tiny details are. The way their face lights up when they see you and how they reach for your hand without thinking. These are the pieces that slip by so fast - I'm here to catch them and give them back to you before this season changes.
THE TINY DETAILS

Jumping on the bed, flour on noses, when laughter becomes contagious, the spontaneous dance parties, the moment they all pile on top of you — this is where the magic lives. In the unscripted, unperfect, absolutely authentic moments that make your family yours.
PLAYFUL CHAOS

You're not meant to always be behind the camera, you're meant to be in this story. Wrapped up in snuggles, kissing sticky cheeks, being the person they run to with their whole heart. I see you, mama. The beautiful, joyful, irreplaceable role you play in their world.

BEHIND THE CAMERA
a little about courtney, the mama
Two boys and a strong-willed girl make sure of that. So trust me when I say I get it and I love it
My house is loud |
not my strong suit. if there's more than one option, I simply can't choose. Anyone else?
Making Decisions |
because nothing says "quick and easy" like lifting weights while small humans climb on your back and ask for snacks
Family Workouts |
in our garden with my favorite helpers because everything's better when they're by my side
Where you'll find me |
Vanilla latte, always. No seasonal switch-ups for me - I know what I like and I'm sticking with it
Coffee is a must |
I truly understand the chaos, the wonder, and the way time moves impossibly fast when you're living in it
Homeschool mama |
Before your session, we'll have a real conversation where I learn your family's story. Who's the wild one, who needs extra cuddles, what makes everyone light up, what little details you don't want to forget about this season.
Then on session day? Zero pressure, all play. We'll do the things you actually love doing together and I'll document the giggles, the personalities, the magic of your right-now. Meltdowns don't ruin photos - they're part of your story! And you? You absolutely belong in the frame with your children, soaking up the snuggles and silly moments instead of always being behind the camera.
After your session, I walk you through designing your album and wall art so it's not another project on your plate. I handle it. You just get to say yes and feel excited about what's coming.
I handle everything so you can just show up
You Deserve to Be Taken Care Of
I NEED THIS. SIGN ME UP!
The everyday moments you're living through right now won't stay everyday forever. One day the favorite stuffed animal will sit on a shelf, the goodnight rituals will shift, the way they fit perfectly in your lap will be gone - chances are, all of it will change before you're ready.
That's why I create albums and wall art that live in your home where your children can see themselves. Photos on your phone disappear. But an album on the coffee table? A gallery wall in the hallway? That becomes part of your family's story. Your kids will come back to these images again and again, remembering how it felt to be small and safe and so deeply loved.
Real life, honestly remembered. Every season. Every story. Your family is enough.
Images your children will hold in their hands
The Kind They'll Keep Forever
