The mom-entum keeps going as we continue to showcase favorite “Mom and Kiddo” portraits from the past 8 years, on the Courtney Studios Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts (basically all of social media).
Here’s what you’ve missed over the past two weeks. Some of these portraits date back to Fall of 2007, when Courtney Studios (then Candids by Courtney) first opened it’s doors.
There’s still time to Rock the Vote in the Kids’ Crown Awards. Please take two minutes and vote for Courtney Studios for “Broward: Best Family Photographer”.
Thank you so much for nominating me and Courtney Studios for a South Florida Parenting Magazine “Kid’s Crown Award”. It is because of your love and support, over the past 7 and a half years, that Courtney Studios has reached this level of success and for that I’m grateful.

We are honoring MOM in the studio this spring. We are featuring our favorite Mom and Kiddo portraits each day between now and Mother’s Day on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. You can follow along with the #momoftheday hashtag. We will also feature them here once a week on the blog.
The April Newsletter went live last week. Read it here.
We’re in studio Monday – Friday 9:00-1:30 and by appointment. Although it’s always best to give us a call before stopping by.
We are in the spirit of Mother’s Day here in the studio. Moms, come in and be photographed WITH your kiddos now until Mother’s Day and receive a complimentary frame upgrade with a 5×7 gift print purchase. Framed gift prints (5×7 and smaller) make fabulous Mother’s Day Gifts for both YOU and YOUR MOM. Gift certificates purchased for a special Mom will also receive the frame upgrade.
Love this special Mommy Daughter lifestyle session. See more here. Mom is owner of Give Wink, South Florida’s Premier Baby and Kid boutique.
There is no doubt that a beautiful frame adds a classic touch to portrait photography. At Courtney Studios, we offer a line of 8 distinct frame styles to compliment your portrait art. These three framed 11×14 prints will hang proudly in the family room. Can you imagine the smile it will put on “mom’s” face each time she walks into the room?
Last Saturday, March 21 was World Down Syndrome Day and the premier of the “i EXTRA love you” portrait exhibit held at Gallery 2014 in Downtown Hollywood. ”i EXTRA love you” was the brain child of dear friend and Down Syndrome advocate Daniela Roeder, who’s brother Alex was born with Down Syndrome. Together along with the Gold Coast Down Syndrome Association, Gallery 2014 and making use of the gorgeous Heart installation in Courtney Studios by amazing artist Alissa Alfonso, “i EXTRA love you” was born. This project filled me with more pride and joy than any other charitable work I have done in my life. The smiles on these kids faces and the happiness that it brought their families is something I wish I could bottle and save forever. In case you missed Saturday’s exhibit, here are the portraits. 28 gorgeous children and young adults. If you’d like to see pictures of the actual event click here. They are on the Courtney Studios facebook page.
