The studio’s most popular portrait option is the custom collage. With a choice of 9 or 16 images and starting at a size of 20×20, the custom collage is a fabulous way to have a statement of piece of portrait art without a huge wall space commitment.
The weather right now is PERFECT for a custom family portrait session. Mother’s Day is around the corner and portraits make fabulous gifts.
I want to send out a huge THANK YOU to whoever nominated me as a “KIDS CROWN NOMINEE” for Best Family Photographer in South Florida Parenting Magazine. Voting will start soon. Stay tuned for more details.

I first met Caleb in 2016 at Lehrman Community Day School during their annual school portraits. When you’re photographing 400 students for school portraits you only have a few seconds to make a connection with the kids. Every moment counts. Caleb definitely made our moments count during each one of his school portraits over the last 5 years. He’d bring an extra hat or accessory for a few extra poses. Caleb is truly an awesome kid. So when I find out that his favorite holiday is Halloween of course I had to make a visit.
As I’ve gotten to know Caleb and now his mom Carla I am so excited and proud to support Calder and Caleb’s Awesome Foundation. Calder and Caleb’s Awesome Foundation is really making a difference in our community. Donate $100 to Calder and Caleb’s Awesome Foundation from now until November 15 and receive a complimentary mini session at the studio. Perfect way to support an amazing cause and get your holiday portraits done. WINNING! Email or call for more information. courtney@courtneystudios.com 954-558-6893
Mother’s Day is Sunday. Anything exciting planned to celebrate yo mama? Since I’ll be moving into our new house on Saturday, all I want to do on Mother’s Day is wake up in my own bed in my new HOME with my family. Keeping it simple this year. But if I had to choose one other gift, it would be to finally design a Signature 16 collage for myself. 16 of my favorite portraits of my 3 kiddos arranged in a clean, modern and stunning display. Perfect addition to my new family room. I love the Signature 16 Collage. It’s the studio’s most popular product. Starting at 20×20 inches, this heirloom collage will take your breath away and make your heart skip a beat every time you walk into a room.
I designed the collage below as a gift for a dear friend. I photographed her family just days after the birth of her fourth child, a girl. I captured details of her beautiful family and carefully curated her favorite 16 portraits into a complete work of art. It was a gift like no other. (For more Signature 16 Collage examples click here)
Give your mama the gift of portrait photography. Or if you’re a mama, gift it to yourself.
Call the studio to give the gift of portrait photography.
See you soon,

What’s your favorite social media platform? Leave a comment or send me a message.
But back to more important issues…this adorable little girl!!!! I met this family at my favorite toddler park. (spent HOURS…DAYS even at this place when my littles were toddlers). The light is always perfect and the smaller equipment is just the right size for little hands and feet.
When it came to choosing her portraits, this beautiful mama pulled out all the stops. It was definitely “Go big or go home” and the final choice was a 30×30 Signature 16 collage. Can you say STATEMENT PIECE?!? 16 favorite images in one piece. It’s clean, simple, modern and will take your breath away. This collage is the studio’s most popular offering. Scroll below to see more!
Holiday deadlines are quickly approaching. I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next week!! Your custom family portrait session must be scheduled before December 1 to guarantee holiday delivery. I have ONE appointment left for all of 2017. Will it be yours??
Email or call the studio to claim this last family portrait session of the season.
Happy Birthday Leon! This little guy came into the studio for his first birthday portraits.
A child’s first birthday is a perfect milestone to to capture with a custom portrait session, and the “Signature Sweet 16” is a classic way to display your favorite images from your portrait session. The “Signature Sweet 16” collage is a modern, yet classic portrait display that will withstand the test of time. Starting at a size of 20×20 mounted on the 3/4in black standout mount, it’s super lightweight and comes ready to hang. No frame needed. It’s one of the studio’s most popular products. The collage can also be printed on canvas, wood, or acrylic (my fave!).
Meet Abbi! Abbi and her dad (fabulous photographer Robert Madrid) came by the studio for a play date and smash cake session. As a professed “daddy’s girl” myself, I really appreciate how special these images of dad and his #1 daughter will always be.
See you soon,
court
Can you just see the Signature 16 collage as a 30×30 acrylic standout mount?!? To die for!!!
As much as my motto in the studio is “the bigger the better” when it comes to displaying your portrait art, you don’t always have to take up a lot of space to make an amazing impact. Hence, I’m really excited to share what I designed for this amazing family. (Their session highlights can be seen here). As I said in their blog feature, they were together from all over the country. It was the main goal of the lifestyle session to create images that showcased their love for each other, but it was also of the utmost importance for the whole experience to be stress free for everyone. No pressure. A truly “come as you are” portrait experience. I came and just hung out for a few hours. I really got to know everyone and felt at the end that I was an unofficial family member. The result is a final gallery that contains more images than what I normally present to clients. I knew that every detail of this family’s time together was precious and they wanted to remember everything and also to enjoy everything in the end.
The 12×12 custom coffee table book is a 60 page custom designed album that contains ALL your session images. The Mohawk fine paper is gorgeous to the touch.
The family also wanted to have something to display on the walls, but being that they have 5 adult children, 3 grandchildren, and are avid art collectors, it left little space to do something on a large scale. In fact, I only had 14×14 inches of wall space to work with. I designed this gallery wrap canvas collage with 20-something of their absolute favorite images from their session. I used an amazing and very versatile collage template from Design Aglow. Every collage that I design in this style is 100% completely unique to each client. It truly is one of my favorite studio products. It allows for big impact with little space.
We’re still waiting on a final date for the new studio to be ready to move in. We’ll have amazing samples on display and lots of inspiration for you to take back with you to your own home. Sign up for the newsletter and like us on facebook to stay up to date.
The portrait art experience with Courtney Ortiz Photography doesn’t end until your final piece(s) of art are hanging in your home. (I even provide installation services.) Marcy and I collaborated and designed this grid of portraits for her family room/kitchen. The result is 9 10×10 portraits printed on lustre paper and mounted on a 3/4 inch foam mount, carefully hung in a 3 by 3 grid. The 3/4 inch foam mount are super lightweight and come ready to hang. The look is clean, simple, and modern. I love how all 9 pieces work together to create one giant statement in the room.
There are so many portrait art options available right now. Together we can create a unique piece of portrait art that will fit perfectly with your home decor and budget. I’d love to hear how you dream of incorporating portrait art into your home. 954-558-6893 or shoot me an email courtney@courtneyortiz.com
Working with me for your commissioned portraits is an experience that is unlike what you may have experienced in the past with other photographers. I am a portrait artist. My vision goes beyond what I see in the viewfinder of my camera to what the actual look and feel will be of that final tangible product that I place in your hands, as well as to how and where it is enjoyed. It’s a collaborative process as I, along with input from my client, design the final art piece that you will enjoy. After you receive your password protected online gallery, we make an appointment to meet again either in your home or at my Downtown Hollywood studio. It’s at this time that you get to touch and feel studio samples, view your portraits, sit side by side with me to design the final art piece, and lastly place your portrait order.
This family wanted to do something amazing. Mom wanted a single large statement piece that would contain multiple images, framed/mounted clean and modern. Introducing the acrylic standout mount. The print is mounted between a 3mm piece of plexiglass and a 3mm aluminum composite backing. It comes ready to hang and it appears to be floating due to a strong 1in aluminum subframe. We decided on the “Signature 16” portrait collage, sized 30×30, and mounted on the Acrylic Standout Mount. It truly is a piece of fine art.
I LOVE prints mounted on Acrylic. You really need to see them in person to truly appreciate their scope and beauty. Make an appointment or come by the studio to touch and feel for yourself.
