NEW YORK FINE ART WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER
BENEATH THE SKIN.
I see the world through a lens of light and dark, emotion and stories, love and nostalgia.
READY TO BE MY MUSE?
It reaches across the ages and says I see you, all of you. Your messy human experience? It’s fucking beautiful. Your freckles and scars. How you laugh and love others. Maybe you can’t always see it. But I do. From total strangers in a parking lot to my couples on their wedding day, I fall in love with people and their stories daily.
through art which connects us...
“I feel there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.”
- Vincent Van Gogh
WELCOME,
KINDRED SPIRIT.
I love meeting new people who tell me the most random shit they would never tell anyone else. I love making an impact, even if it is simply helping them see themselves through my lens. Because I can tell you that you’re beautiful all day long, but photography lets me show you.
Whether you're laid-back, introverted or somewhere in between...
I want you to feel so damn comfortable that your true self can come out and play. Maybe you’re the type to kick off your shoes and dance barefoot or you love haunting old, forgotten places.

What verse comes next?
There are so many layers to being human, and mine are fathoms deep. On one hand, I live and breathe art, photography and stories. When I’m not working with my clients, I’m exhibiting photo series in art galleries, pursuing my masters in art history and even developing old film photos simply to peek into the past lives of strangers. My husband and I shared our first kiss in a cemetery. I’m a little dark that way, but also full of light.
I’m the girl of good times. You’re just as likely to find me marveling in a museum as getting hammered at the bar, making new friends and definitely cussing a little. I love life and people and feel deeply. I tell way too many dirty jokes and bare all my scars. I’ve got the soul of an artist, through-and-through.
Hey, I'm Courtney!

FALL DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE WITH ME
They are gorgeous and so natural, they feel like us the in best way. She was so wonderful to work with! Our families and the two us have all been crying happy tears looking at the photos of our wedding day. She captured all of the most special moments, and we are so grateful to have had her as our photographer. Our celebration was untraditional in format and Courtney did everything to help us through the process and capture each moment throughout our wedding. She was so accommodating and helpful! We would highly, highly recommend her to anyone hoping to commemorate any special occasion!
"Courtney photographed our small wedding ceremony and reception, as well as our engagement photos beforehand. We loved her work before we had our own photos taken, but we are so in love with the photos she took for our wedding."
- Mercedes + Nick
She was so friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. We knew we wanted to work with Courtney immediately following our first call with her. We had lots of communication throughout the planning process and she asked lots of questions to get to know us and make sure she was prepared for the day. On our wedding day, she made us feel very comfortable and at ease while taking our pictures, it was like hanging out with a friend. We actually laughed a lot! After the wedding, she sent us the most amazing "sneak peek" photos and she also shared Instagram posts from our day, which was so fun to see in the weeks following our wedding and before we got our completed album. Our photos came out incredible! Her style is exactly what we were looking for. She additionally sent us a beautiful personalized gift box with our photos on a USB drive and polaroids, which we weren't even expecting! We very highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. She captured our day perfectly and we couldn't be happier!
"Courtney is amazing! Choosing her to be our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made."
- Jacki + Brendan
Courtney was quick to respond and very easy to work with. We chose Courtney as our engagement photographer because of her amazing cinematic and moody style.Courtney far exceeded our expectations! We LOVE our photos!!! As far as the photography experience…Courtney was so much fun to work with and made taking photos such a great experience . She made us feel comfortable and we genuinely enjoyed our evening photoshoot. I would definitely recommend Courtney and hope to be a returning customer.
“Courtney ROCKED!!!! From start to finish we had a great experience."

Film Photography & Super 8
back to the classics:
for the deep feelers and old souls
While my digital photography evokes those vintage, moody tones, shooting on film or recording with Super 8 is the medium that started it all. Each frame feels like the soul of a moment, forever preserved.
In a world dominated by instant digital images, there is something beautifully imperfect about preserving memories on film. Film has an ethereal quality, capturing not just how a moment looked, but how it felt—a nostalgic echo haunting every frame.
INQUIRE ABOUT FILM
Come let your inner child, your inner artist, run wild.
The Creative Sessions are for the ones who want to step outside the box and follow their muse. From body and earth shoots, recreating a Renaissance painting, or becoming a vintage ghost by a lake, these sessions are all about creating the weird shit you love and letting your imagination run free.
