Just a small-town Minnesota girl, who developed into an overly enthusiastic photographer in 2010.
Well,Hello!
I'M COURTNEY
I am a 36 year old suburban girl! Can I still say, “girl" at 36? For the longest time I wondered where my heart was meant to be. I always loved the city, but then again the country with chickens and a micro mini cow fit to! Well, the chickens, won.. and Louie our micro mini cow joined the crew about a year in a half ago! (Feel free to follow some of his shenanigans on Instagram: Alittleloveonparrish) I love the time I get to spend with; my husband, our two littles and our constantly growing mini farm. I love summer evenings and country songs that sing all about those sweet summer nights! We love weekend adventures and traveling, and the never-ending tasks of renovating our 1924 home. I enjoy coffee dates and fancy donut shops and my day is always made when I find something good thrift shopping.
I have been told; I have what they call, an old soul. I believe in embracing life; not only for what it currently is, but for what it can be, and what it once was. I want to be along for your journey, from the day you say, “ I do” to tell your life’s story through photography. I want to photograph the one-of-a-kind love, each couple has for each other and watch it grow as your family grows. I approach everything with a natural and laid-back feel so I can take it all in and I don’t miss the little things; I’m just here to witness how your interact together, how you make each other laugh and smile, and capture it.
REAL BELLY LAUGHS
CAPTURE THE TIGHT HUGS,
CAPTURE THE WAY YOUR CHILD LOOKS UP TO YOU AND REACHES OUT FOR YOUR HAND
my family
My high school sweetheart, and on a really hot day in August of 2010 we made the whole, ‘I love you’ thing official!
Over the past decade many of our big life decisions have been made by a little game called paper, rock, scissors.
Everyday he focuses on being the best version of himself and it shows!
MICHAEL
My first born, the one who taught me about unconditional love. He rises with the sun and plays in the dirt until the sun sets. He is our “all boy” child and constantly has a monster truck in hand.
He ends everyday with the best snuggles.
HARVEY
She is the giggliest little girl with the biggest personality and best dimples! She is full of spirit but at the same time has brought a softness into our home that we never knew we needed.
She has made our family and my soul complete.
MARLOWE
Tom Petty to be exact
...but classic rock is what gives me all the ‘ohh.. so simple time feels’.
I LOVE
COUNTRY MUSIC...
Drink of choice:
A large espresso cooler with a hot shot on top
A lot of my most valuable friendships, first job, biggest life decisions have been made in coffeeshops!
COFFEE
IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER
Some may just call it a sweet tooth.
and chocolate chip cookies are my love language!
chocolate
BROWNIE CHUNK ICE CREAM
I also live for silence, it brings me clarity!
I love people and getting to know who they are.
I'M THE DEFINITION
OF AN EXTROVERTED-INTROVERT
