with camera in hand, I can inevitably find beauty in the simplest moments
I’m kortney, a documentary, portrait, and wedding photographer
Photography is an extension of my joie de vivre. I first picked up the camera to catch the small, daily, details in our lives, that we usually ignore; recognizing each and every moment deserves to be documented. Turning these moments into portraits encapsulate memories for life. It's the best gift I can give to the world. I do that for my life, my friends' lives, and I hope that I can do it for you as well.
How do I book a photo session with you?
How long does it take to receive the final photos?
Can I order prints or albums through you?

I'm a minimalist. Terrible with words. I speak best through melodies and creativity. I can handle just about everything thrown my way. I tend to go against the pressures of this secular culture, because I believe as long as we are living up to the expectations of the One true God, there's nothing we shouldn't do or be. I love beauty, but in its most natural form. Trends, fashion or jewelry aren't what do it for me (I have a great team for that). A person of good soul and character win best-dressed in my book any day. I'm inspired by children and encouraged by love. I cry in every church service and at every birth and wedding I attend. I tend to be a point A to point B person, but my kids are teaching me every day to stop and smell the roses. I hate perfection, but absolutely thrive on progress.
It's my lifelong commitment and desire to raise my children up transparent and honest in an otherwise beautiful, yet failing world. My life may be messy but my heart is not. I'm your biggest fan and most devoted follower.
Some of my favorite things: coffee, smoothies, Sunday naps, babies, corporate worship, football, NASCAR, music, sweat pants and of course photography.

FUN FACTS
01.
My husband and I met days before the pandemic. Starting a relationship during a pandemic adds a quirky twist to the classic rom-com storyline, but for 2 accomplished introverts, it was a dream! Who knew trading fancy dinners for homemade cocktails and "Tiger King" marathons would turn into a blissful marriage.
02.
For someone who's enchanted by nature, my knack for keeping plants alive is about as effective as teaching a fish to climb trees. Yet, miraculously, I've managed to nurture two thriving children—a testament to nature's sense of humor and my parenting prowess!
03.
I'm so addicted to chapstick that I'm pretty sure my lips have a better skincare routine than I do—forever dependent on that tiny tube!
04.
History and culture captivate me! Diversity and inclusivity are my driving force.
