Maybe your photos are sitting on your phone. All 4,000 of them.

Maybe you booked someone once, smiled on cue, and when the images came back thought — "...that's it?"

Maybe you've been saying next year. But your kids aren't going to look at that portrait someday and see what you see. They're going to see their mom. And they will be so glad she's in the picture.

If any of that felt familiar — you're my person. I'll walk you through the whole thing so it actually gets done and ends up somewhere you see every day.

And if one of those people on that wall just happens to be you? HUZZAH! Your kids are going to lose their minds over that.

Hi, I'm Courtney — and I've been waiting for you.

I'm a Certified Professional Photographer and Master Photographer, which is a fancy way of saying I've put in the work, earned the credentials, and genuinely know what I'm doing behind a camera.

But here's what that actually means for you — I will tell you exactly where to stand, which angle is your best one, and yes, how to avoid the double chin situation. You're welcome in advance.

Every session I shoot is fully guided. Nobody leaves my camera looking anything less than amazing — that's not a promise I make lightly, it's just my standard. You show up. I handle absolutely everything else.

And when it's all said and done, I show up at your door with your finished artwork ready to hang. Because getting beautiful portraits is one thing. Actually getting them on your wall is the whole point.

Based in Pullman, serving the Palouse and Spokane.

 

MEET COURTNEY

Before I ever pick up a camera, I've already been to your home, measured your walls, raided your closet, and probably brought you Starbucks.

That's just the beginning.

The Signature Experience is unlike anything you've ever done with a photographer. It's a complete, start-to-finish luxury experience designed so that every single detail — from what you wear to which wall it hangs on — is handled with intention.

You'll never wonder if it's going to look right. You'll never be surprised by the price. You'll never see an image of yourself that hasn't already been perfected. And when your artwork arrives, I show up and hang it — taking one more thing off the honey do list.

This is not a photography session. This is an experience.

Two ways to work with me.

One standard of beautiful.

Think of it this way — the Signature Experience is the Maserati. Fully loaded, every upgrade, white glove delivery included. The Simplified Experience is the floor model. Still stunning, still turns heads, still a Maserati — just fewer bells and whistles.

Either way, you're not leaving in a Kia.

★ The Signature Experience

The whole experience, handled. Starbucks. Closet raids. Wall measurements. Expert guidance. Private reveal. Finished artwork. And yes — I show up and hang it. Every single detail, start to finish.

Tell Me Everything

The Simplified Experience

Beautiful portraits, your pace. A fully guided session with me behind the camera and a simple online process to choose and order your artwork. He may never get behind the wheel of a Maserati — but he can definitely get behind this.

If the word "posing" just made you make a face -

I get it. A few bad apples ruined it for everyone.

Let's call it expert guidance instead.

Same thing. Way less cringe. Infinitely better results.

You are not going to hang it and then hate it. I promise.

Here's what I hear a lot: "I love the idea of this — but I hate photos of myself."

The arms. The chin. The way a camera somehow finds every single thing you've been self conscious about since 1997. I hear you. Every single word of that. And I want you to know — I've spent years learning exactly how to make sure none of that happens.

Here's a secret: nobody is photogenic until someone who knows what they're doing is behind the camera. Expert guidance means I'll handle your angles, your light, and every pose — so you never have to wonder what to do or worry about how it's going to look.

And if you've mentioned anything you're insecure about? I take care of it before you ever see the images. No guessing. No cringing at the reveal. Just you, looking like the most gorgeous version of yourself, thinking — wait, that's actually me?

Yes. It is.

I've got you. And I won't do you dirty.

Designed. Photographed. Displayed.

FAMILY

For the family that is loud and wonderful and growing too fast. Before another year goes by and everyone looks different again.

IT'S YOUR TIME

For the woman who is finally, unapologetically ready to be in the photo instead of always behind it. You deserve to be on the wall too.

BIG MILESTONE

For the senior stepping into what's next and the grad who actually made it. This chapter deserves more than a phone photo.

I'M A PROFESSIONAL

For the individual who wants to show up with confidence, and the company that wants their team to look like the professionals they are.

Don't take my word for it.

Here's what happens when people who thought they weren't photogenic trusted the process anyway.

"Courtney is beyond amazing."

Not only were our photos fantastic, she made it so much fun that we all ended up laughing. My kids said they had fun — and they HATE having their pics taken. My husband said it was the best photography session he's ever had. It really didn't matter which photos we chose because they were all excellent." — Becky D., via Facebook

★★★★★ "She made me and my family feel so comfortable with the entire process — even though we don't love photos." — Jenna V.

★★★★★ "From our initial consultation to hand delivering our print — Courtney was a pleasure to work with from start to finish." — Peter V.

★★★★★ "Courtney knows how to bring out the best and most flattering angles. I have been so happy with my headshots — to the point I refuse the company ones." — Boel F.
