I’m Courtney, the heart behind the lens and your professional "third wheeler". I’m a collector of things that deserve to be loved more than once; from thrifted treasures to the wedding galleries that grow more soulful every year.


My whole heart belongs to my soul dog, Gypsy. I named my business after her to keep her spirit with me (though let's be real, I'm usually carrying a lot of her fur on my camera bag). She’s the reason I love love so much. She taught me that the real stuff is unpolished, sometimes chaotic, and beautifully lived-in. That’s where the true joy is captured. She taught me that love isn't about being perfect, it’s about being present.


I’m not just there to take pictures, I’m there to witness your ritual and the quiet beauty you radiate. That is your art.


Intimate. Nostalgic. Entirely YOU.

Testimonials

Working with Courtney was an absolute dream! From talking about the wedding to the engagement session to the actual wedding day. Everything was AMAZING. Her work is truly amazing and everyone loves our wedding pictures and complemented the way she works too. Our Guest appreciated a lot that she wasn't always "in the way" and still got amazing pictures of us and everyone else. I would absolutely recommend her with my whole heart.

Testimonials

If you get the opportunity to work / book with Courtney, do it ASAP! She is genuinely such an amazing person to collaborate with. She captures so much life in her work. We booked her for our wedding and she did above and BEYOND what we expected! She did a full day with us, from 10:45 am to 11 pm!! She captured our get ready, private vows, personal moments, heart to heart, laughter, and overall the amazing love we experienced the entire day. Plus she communicated before, during, and after so we had clear expectations of how she worked and when we would get results. Courtney will be our photographer for literally everything we will ever need - book with her ASAP!

Testimonials

Courtney did a fantastic job with our photos!! We loved working with her. I’m not someone that likes having their picture taken but Courtney made the whole day feel comfortable and we had so much fun! She’s so sweet and provides direction when it comes to poses. We will use her again in the future!
