Little did I know at the time that this session would really be my last session ever in front of my blue and white garage door. Today I was shooting a family downtown and when we walked down to the door, it was being removed and replaced right in front of my eyes. It was actually made of wood, heavy, and old. A panel would’ve looked amazing in my living room, had I thought to ask the guy and bring one home. I’m sad in a nostalgic sort of way, but I’m actually looking forward to what’s in store. Time to challenge myself and find another out of the way little gem that can be my new trademark spot.
That being said, meet Lola and Zoe. Two very spunky, stylish young ladies.
Can’t help but share a few images from Molly’s portrait session for her upcoming bat mitzvah. This is only the first of two locations were visited. Have to save something for a bit of a surprise at her party.
Downtown Hollywood mini sessions are this Saturday, February 4 and Saturday, February 18. A mini session is a 30 minute walk around Downtown Hollywood. It’s very interactive and lots of fun. The session fee is $125. Prints, specialty products, and DVD’s of high resolution images are available either a la carte or as part of a package. Feel free to contact the studio 954-558-6893 or courtney@courtneyortiz.com for more information.
In the meantime, this adorable family of 5 stopped by the studio for a mini session. I just love how mom styled their outfits and how it contrasts with all the funky colors and textures in Downtown Hollywood. These three girls are definitely divas in training.
Charlotte is four weeks old. Just want to share some of the images that I’ve taken of her over the past month. You won’t find any contrived newborn poses here. No knitted hats or holding her head in her hands. Just Charlotte. Just the way I want to remember her.
