Courtney is the absolute best! She took engagement pictures for us and captured the proposal. She coordinated everything perfectly and stayed in constant communication with me. All of our friends and family kept saying how great the pictures came out as well. If you ever need any type of photography done, Courtney would definitely be a great option!

Courtney was amazing! She made the whole process easy with her quick responses! My daughter wanted her senior pictures at the beach, but we live in Utah. I spent a long time feeling overwhelmed - searching Instagram and other google searches - trying to decide on a photographer. I was delighted when I came across Thumbtack! I put in my information and within minutes I was connected with Courtney! She was so helpful and offered suggestions about finding the perfect location. Her flexibility was amazing! She was willing to change the date, at the last minute, to make sure we would have the best weather! By the time we met for the photo shoot we felt like friends! During the photo shoot she was so professional and I had full confidence in her ability to capture the moment. She gave us some beautiful sneak peeks the day after the shoot and provided all the photos in less than a week. The whole process was amazing! Thank you Courtney!

Courtney did an amazing job capturing exactly what I wanted for our family photo shoot. She was punctual, responsive and willing to take whatever shots we needed/wanted. She also got our pictures back to us way before she said she would. Would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a photographer and can’t wait to use her for our newborn shoot!

Courtney was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was extremely responsive to my request from the very start and was very accommodating to our needs and requests. We live out of state, so we especially appreciated her knowledge about the area and great recommendations. The day of the shoot, she was great at coordinating where to meet and was so kind and personable with our family during the shoot! I would absolutely recommend her to families, friends and anyone looking for a fantastic photographer!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First I like to find out how many people will be at the shoot, what location, and what date a potential client is thinking of. I also like to find out what the purpose of the photos are- business, family, engagement, etc.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a minor in Photography and 10+ years of experience.
