As a portrait photographer in South Florida, I capture love. True Love. Love between siblings, spouses, partners, parents and children, and the confidence of loving yourself enough to update your professional portrait. As an artist, it’s always about the love.
Love is love and it always wins.
I capture love and create heirloom portrait art. Art that will take your breath away and make your heart skip a beat each time you walk into the room. Love is pretty powerful like that.
What does your love look like?…I’ll show you.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Early in my career as a Family Photographer in Miami, custom family portrait sessions would be a casual walk around the block in an urban area. Inspired by doorways, benches, brightly colored walls, and textures. Anything that I thought would make for a fun and modern family portrait backdrop. Since opening my brick and mortar family portrait studio in February 2015, most family portrait sessions are in the studio. It was a breath of fresh air to get out of the studio with this fun family. It was a beautiful Hollywood morning and it felt so good to get outside and flex that creative muscle. I love photographing in the studio, however there’s just something about being outside with a family that makes everyone a bit more at ease. Now is such a great time to schedule your custom family portrait session. Let’s collaborate and create family portrait art that is modern, yet classic and timeless.
Thank you Expertise.com for naming Courtney Studios one of the 11 Best Family Photographers in Miami 2018. It’s truly an honor and privilege to continue to serve my community.
Portrait sessions are available through the spring. Call or email the studio today.
We are in the home stretch in the Christmas Countdown. Things are finally starting to wind down in the studio. It’s our busiest time of the year and I’m truly grateful for each client who walks though the doors. If you missed the chance for a family portrait this fall, January is a great time to get that on the calendar.
Need a fantastic thoughtful gift? Gift Certificates for portrait art are PERFECT! All amounts available. Contact the studio today.

Here are a few of my favorite portraits taken over the last few weeks. More blog posts to come in the new year.
I’m calling today #MarketingMonday. Getting my social media/marketing calendar squared away for the week. If you follow the studio on social media (and I’d be flattered if you do) what would you like to see more of? Do you like the “behind the scenes” aspect of an Insta-story or some Facebook live in the studio? Trying to vary it up and cover all my social media bases. I’d really love to hear from you. 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.
November is “family” month. I’m bringing out the “best of” this month, a mix of past classics with current client favorites. I’ll be showcasing a new family each day on instagram (@courtneystudios) and Facebook. Being a family photographer in Miami and all of South Florida, I’ve had the opportunity to meet and be inspired by so many amazing families. Families have been the lifeblood of the studio since 2007. For this I’m forever grateful.
There is still an opportunity for custom family portraits in time for the holidays. Saturday appointments at the Downtown Hollywood studio are available. Call or email the studio to schedule your appointment.
Meet Gus & Theo, adorable blue eyed twins. We had a fantastic morning playing and relaxing at home. Together we created a series of relaxed and casual family portraits. More of their custom family portrait session can be seen here.
ALWAYS be Batman, or mermaid, or princess, or pirate…….
Kids love to dress up all year long. If your kiddo has a favorite super hero or princess costume bring it to your family portrait session. It’s the little details that capture the essence of your kid. Can’t you just imagine Batman as a 20×24 canvas in your family room??…I can!!!
Let’s make it happen and create some fabulous portrait art!
I just sent out the last Headshot Brunch gallery today. Yay me! To date, Headshot Brunch is my favorite event ever hosted at my portrait studio in Hollywood. I LOVE being able to meet and collaborate with other successful small business owners. We’re all in the game. It’s inspiring to hear what other people are doing to make it happen and take their business to the next level. By total chance, this round of Headshot Brunch was exclusively women. So for me, getting to hang out and connect was like an amazing business mastermind over the course of two days. I definitely came out the winner.
One of the topics that frequently comes up in conversations is the importance of custom branded photography for business. (probably yes because they are getting photographed) Branded custom photography is that detail that can make or break a business. In this age of social media, dynamic imagery is EVERYTHING!! Awesome quality images of you, doing your thing, telling your business’s story for your instagram and Facebook accounts can be a game changer for sure. I’ve started giving Courtney Studios some much needed attention this fall. New professional branded portraits taken by my dear friend, Heather Coronell. (you can see some sneaks here) I also just hired a freelance writer, Michelle Dempsey of Very Well Written to rewrite all the copy on my website. I’ve always written, or attempted to write, my own copy. I am NOT a writer. After 10 years I realized it’s time to leave things to the professionals and have it done right. (And finally get on the first page of Google.) As I build and grow my own business, so does my passion for helping others grow and build theirs through custom branded photography. I love seeing visions and brands come to life. Let’s chat about yours.
The last few weeks have been pretty cool. There’s been a lot of great stuff going on at the studio which I attribute to my new found love of meditation and waking up at 5:00 in the morning. Last week, Courtney Studios was named one of the “Best Family Photographers in Miami” by Expertise.com. How awesome is that??!! It’s been almost a week and I’m still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing. It blows me away. Really?!? BEST Family Photographer in Miami?!? It’s humbling, exciting, and scary all at the same time, but I’ll take it.
The content team at Expertise.com put together the most amazing list of 11 Best Family Photographers in Miami. Each studio is highlighted with a beautifully written summary and all of the contact information. I couldn’t have paid for a more amazing online marketing piece for the studio and for that I’m so grateful. It’s such an honor. I can’t thank Expertise.com and my hundreds of clients over the past 10 years ENOUGH.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU with all my heart, for your continued love and support.
