I think it’s been said on the blog before how much I love red heads. I love them! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE them!
This little one’s spunky attitude definitely matched that fiery mane!

Happy Halloween pt 2 | Lifestyle Session | Ft Lauderdale Photographer
One last Halloween post to send everyone off with on this last day of October. Right now, in the Ortiz household, everyone is pretty much doing their own thing, which is a very good thing. It seems like it’s the first Sunday in a long time that we’ve all been home together. It’s nice.
I love this family, as we’ve spent a lot of time together in the past couple of months, and will continue to see each other often over the next year. I love that I’m really getting to know this family. It enables me to do my job better and better with each new visit. This month I met up with them for a Fall themed Lifestyle Session. We started and ended at Yaya’s house with a visit to Flamingo Road Nursery’s pumpkin patch in between.

Halloween is quickly approaching (Sunday), and I had to share these images that were taken as potential covers for the October issue of the Hollywood Gazette. These were actually taken at the end of September as they had to be ready for print by October 1. My editor said two things to me as guidelines for October’s cover, “kids & pumpkins.” It was still too early for pumpkin patches, but a trip out to the super Target, and we were ready for some pumpkin carving fun. I usually hate to use my own kids and our friends for official work, but I made an exception this time around.
One of the following images was chosen for the cover.

Funny how things come full circle. In my former life, I was a first grade teacher at Hollywood Hills Elementary, and this little red head’s older brother was in my class. In fact, mom was pregnant with her and about to burst when we first met. Fast forward 5 years, I’m no longer teaching and this beauty is no longer in her momma’s belly. Now she’s five and about to start her young modeling career.
Growing up, I always had a thing for red heads, and it hasn’t changed.
Quick reminder. Sunday, November 21 is the courtney ortiz photography one and only holiday mini session date. For the first time ever to be held in downtown Ft. Lauderdale/Riverfront area starting at Esplanade Park (across the street from the Museum of Discovery and Science). The cost is $135 for a 20-30 minute session and includes a set of 25 custom holiday cards. Email courtney@courtneyortiz.com or call 954-558-6893 for more information.

These two GORGEOUS sisters came to visit me in the studio a couple of weeks ago. Both girls just were signed with MK Kids, and have already landed a couple of gigs. If you’re headed to France anytime next spring/summer, you’ll see the little one in ads for Bergere de France.
