Behind the lens: Just a small-town girl from Elk River, MN, capturing all the moments and chasing sunsets since 2010.
Well,Hello!
I'M COURTNEY
I am just a 38 year old suburban girl! Can I still say, "girl" at 38? I truly love to keep life simple and enjoy the beauty of the things around me. I always loved the city, but then again the country and a hobby farm always seemed to fit as well. Over time, the chicken life won and for the record "chicken math is a real thing".
I love the time get get to spend with; my husband and our kids. We love weekend adventures and traveling together. Traveling has become our favorite thing as we have quickly realized that's where all our core memories are made. Coffee has been and always will be a non-negotiable part of my day and the never-ending tasks of renovating our 1924 home will always bring me joy. I love summer evening and the sunsets that accompany them.
I have been told; I have what they call, an old soul. Where 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
These are my people
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 always has sports on the mind. He is growing fast but still 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

I love people and getting to know who they are.
