NYC Sessions | Manhattan Family Photographer

Courtney Ortiz Photography is celebrating a 6 year anniversary this September.  What girl wouldn’t want to go to NYC for her birthday??  To celebrate this huge milestone, I am announcing my first scheduled travel dates to the Big Apple.  I will be in New York City October 4-6 to visit some very special clients and have limited spots to meet some very special new ones.

The following image of my favorite oldest daughter was taken on our family trip to New York City this past August.  It was taken on Portra-800 35mm film on a Canon AE-1.  I shot strictly film on vacay (along with my trusty iphone 5).  More New York City vacation images are on Sisters Not Designers.

For more information regarding the NYC Sessions please contact the studio 954-558-6893 or shoot me an email courtney@courtneyortiz.com

See you soon (in New York City!),

“It’s Who You Are…”

Headshot Happy Hour

In the digital social media age, we all know how important a great “profile pic” is.  As a small business owner with an online presence, a professional headshot is your potential client’s first impression of who you are.   We all are guilty of judging books by their cover and a professional headshot can transform a business owner  from amateur to professional with one click of the shutter.   On Friday, September 20, myself along with Stacy Boegem of the Happiness Agenda, Dara Michelle of Dara Michelle Style, and Sally Pricer of Smash Beauty Lounge are hosting the first ever “Headshot Happy Hour”.  Professional makeup, styling, photography, and wine!  It’s a win/win for everyone.  (Oh, and did I mention I’m actually including digital files for use in your marketing material both print and online??!!)  See below for more details or visit the Femfessionals event registration page.

headshothappyhour

I first met Stacy Boegem, a few years ago when we worked together on the board for the Team Up For Toys charity event to benefit Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.  She is an amazing life coach through her business The Happiness Agenda and now President of the Ft. Lauderdale chapter of Femfessionals.  I urge you check out her website and blog.  I only need 15 minutes with her and I feel immediately recharged and refreshed.  She commissioned me for her headshots this past spring.   Now it’s her nature of business that she sends out weekly enews letters and blogs multiple times through the week.  She needed a comprehensive collection of images of her showing every range of emotion and body language you could think of.  Together with Dara Michelle, they created multiple looks and I captured every style in both a studio and lifestyle setting.  In the end she has a “stock photography” collection of her that she can use for a variety of different things.  Again, check out her website.  Not just to see the awesome that she is, but to see how she incorporates a variety of different headshot styles.  If your business requires more than just a traditional headshot, feel free to contact me at the studio 954-558-6893 or shoot me an email courtney@courtneyortiz.com.  I do offer these comprehensive “stock photography” headshot sessions.  Let’s chat about it.

“It’s Who You Are…”

Christmas in March?! | Ft Lauderdale Family Photographer

Playing catch up!!  Not only are there current sessions to share, but I have a handful from the holidays that never made it to the blog.  This is one of them.  This family needs no introduction.  They are regulars at courtney ortiz photography.  I’m watching these two grow up.    We shot their Holiday session at Flamingo Road Nursery.  Which, by the way,  is one of my favorite places to shoot.  It’s beautiful and there is plenty of room for the kids to run around.  Even now it’s one of my favorite places to go with my own kids.
