This little guy came by the studio a couple of weeks ago (I’m a little behind on the blogging here.) for a studio photography session. He was bursting at the seams with personality. And then there are those eyes…… I’ll let the images speak for themselves about those.

I really try to limit the different studio products that I offer my clients. Keep the menu small, and focus on fine art heirloom pieces and a limited number of keepsake albums. The Signature Sweet 16 is one of my favorites. The Signature Sweet 16 is a storyboard that showcases 16 of your favorite images from a session. It is available in either 20×20 or 30x30in size. The storyboard is mounted on a 3/4in mount and is ready to hang. No frame necessary. Canvas options are available. The Signature Sweet 16 is perfect for a more informal room such as a family room, playroom, or child’s bedroom.
Ok, so it’s been less than a week for my “photo of the day” and I’ve already let the ball drop. Thinking I might be in the market for an intern.
Anyway, love this image of my daughter in one of the airplanes at The Haircut Hangout. (118 S. 20th Avenue in downtown Hollywood). Make sure you become a fan of The Haircut Hangout on Facebook. Not only is it THE BEST place in South Florida for kid’s haircuts and uber cool European style toys, but it’s the home to the courtney ortiz photography studio!! Come by and say “Hi!” and check out some of the latest and greatest boutique products that courtney ortiz photography offers. We’re loading our shelves with samples of holiday cards, coffee table books, pocket albums, and CUSTOM IPHONE COVERS! All perfect Holiday gift ideas. I’m in the studio (most) Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays (9:30-12:30) and Saturdays 9-2. Now’s the time to book your family “Studio Session”. A “Studio Session” is a 30-45 minute session in and around the streets of downtown Hollywood. Very urban, modern, and bright in style, are a $100, and include one 8×12 print. Additional prints, specialty products, and CD’s are available a la carte! Email courtney@courtneyortiz.com for more info!!!!
Let’s talk about wardrobe and family photography sessions on the beach. I 100% encourage clients to NOT wear all white on the beach. Especially all white and matching! I do this for a number of reasons, although the #1 most important reason is……IT’S BORING. I tell potential clients, “If you wouldn’t dress that way to go out to dinner, then please don’t dress that way for your family portraits.” It is my goal as a photographer not to just capture your family, but to capture true and genuine experiences, interactions, and emotions. To document the true essence of who your family is at that exact moment of time. In 20 years when you are looking back through your Session Album, I want you to remember how much fun you had that day…together. A Lifestyle Session on the beach, with me, is just that; a fun afternoon at the beach with the people you love most. You won’t have those memories if you’re all wearing matching outfits, standing stiffly as a group in front of the ocean saying, “Cheese.”
This is truly photography for the modern family.

Now, the only reason these cuties are wearing matching dresses is because they’re twins! xxoo
