Ring a Round the Rosie

You’re never too old to play “Ring a Round the Rosie.”

The light was perfect to take this family to one of my favorite spots for custom family portrait sessions; the rooftop of the parking garage on the corner.

You can almost feel the love and the laughter.

See you soon,

World Down Syndrome Day 2016

On Saturday, February 6 we held our second “I EXTRA Love you” portrait session.  In collaboration with my good friend Daniela Roeder, over 50 amazing individuals with Down Syndrome came to the studio to be photographed.  The portraits will be on display during downtown Hollywood’s ArtWalk on Saturday March 19, from 7-10pm at Gallery 2014 in celebration of World Down Syndrome Day.  It’s a family friendly event.  You can see  highlights from last year’s “I EXTRA Love You” portrait exhibit here.  Thank you Daniela for these amazing behind the scenes images.

Spring is almost here and it’s a great time to schedule your custom portrait session at the studio.  We have lots of new backdrops and fun chairs.

This Monday, February 29 from 10-1,  we’re hosting an open house at the studio and  shopping event.  Check out the spring release from Matilda Jane Clothing (one of my all time faves), Beautycounter (safe and clean cosmetics and skin care), and Do-Terra Essential Oils.  For more information on Monday’s event please go to our event page on Facebook.  If you’re in the neighborhood I’d love to see you.

See you soon,

Courtney

Alina & Vin

As I close up the studio for the Thanksgiving holiday, it really gives me time to reflect on all that I’m thankful for.

I just celebrated my 12th wedding anniversary with the most amazing partner in crime.  I have three amazing children that I get to be with everyday both at school and at home and this amazing business that started as just a thought over 8 years ago.  Courtney Studios has given me the opportunity and flexibility to be the best woman, wife, and mother that I could ever imagine.  I’m the luckiest girl in the world and I’m truly blessed.

Sometimes I just have to pinch myself.  I’m “living the dream”.

We will be closed Wednesday 11/25-Friday 11/27.  I’ll be back in the studio on Saturday, 11/28 from 10-3 for “Small Business Saturday”.  Stop by and say hi!  The studio has lots of great gift ideas for everyone on your list.

Remember to support local business this holiday season and “Shop Small.”

I wish you the Happiest of Thanksgivings.

See you soon,

I’ve been getting out of the studio and shooting outside recently and it honestly feels great to get out and spread my wings a bit.  So I was thrilled to take this family to one of my favorite spots in downtown Hollywood…the roof of the parking garage.

This family is beautiful, fun and really weren’t afraid to let their love shine.

This is the last weekend to to be photographed with guaranteed holiday (Christmas) delivery.  We have two spots available on Sunday.

Please call the studio if you want to snap them up.
