Artful, heartfelt imagery to capture the magic of your people.

Hi, I’m Courtney.

It is so lovely to “meet” you. I’m Courtney, a St. Louis family and newborn photographer. I laugh a lot, lose my phone a lot, wear my heart on my sleeve, and don’t take things too seriously. I think what I bring to the family photo world is a focus on the warm, snuggly, tender details. I was a wedding photographer for 10 years before making the switch to families. It was the birth of my babies that opened my eyes to the magical, fleeting, hard, crazy beautiful season that it is – raising humans. And the true gift that it is to see the tangible beauty and immense love, in the thick of the daily chaos.

You don’t need to show up perfect. Please don’t. I am just a tender-hearted mama that wants to help you capture the real connection, warmth, tenderness, and laughter of spent with your favorite humans.

heartfelt & nostalgic

The sticky kisses, pure chaos, giggles, soft nuzzles, chubby arm hugs – it’s the magic. More than “perfect,” I strive for images that tell the story of who you are and the heart of what it felt like. I strive to turn your “ordinary” moments into beautiful art that not only you can cherish, but your children can cherish for years to come.

Let’s create those warm, tender, irreplaceable heirlooms you can pass down to your babies of the love you shared.

“Courtney has an eye to see our mundane and capture it in such a way that reminds us just how sacred it really is. I’ll cherish these photos forever.”

“Courtney is hands-down the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. She is knowledgeable and professional, but most importantly she is genuine and kind hearted. She will make you feel at ease, entertain your kiddos, and capture some of the most beautiful moments you didn’t even know were possible.”

heartfelt moments with your favorite people.
