September is a really huge month here at the studio. It’s the start of our very busy fall season (our busiest time of the year) but it also marks the studio’s anniversary. It was 8 years ago, in September of 2007 that Courtney Studios (Candids by Courtney) began. We’ve been through lots of changes…Candids by Courtney…Courtney Ortiz Photography…Courtney Studios. 4 websites…It’s been an amazing journey and I couldn’t be more proud of what I have built over the last 8 years when I first had the idea of “hey, a portrait business would be fun”.
To celebrate this milestone, I have some amazing GIVEAWAYS!!!! Here goes…Book your newborn session during the month of September. (even if you just got the great news!) and receive a complimentary Cake Smash session.
That’s only the first of many surprises in store for the studio’s birthday month. Keep an eye out in your inbox, check by the blog, and make sure you “like” us on facebook. Oh, did I mention you can also follow us on instagram???

If you know me even a little bit, you know how much I love Matilda Jane Clothing for girls. If Anthro had a baby, it would be Matilda Jane. I am excited to host a trunk show here at the studio this Thursday from 11-1. The styles are adorable and timeless (and completely age appropriate if you catch my drift), perfect for back to school. We’re also collecting lunchboxes full of lunchbox snacks to benefit Mobile School Pantry. I can’t sing their praises enough. Mobile School Pantry brings food to families in need to the school for distribution rather than having families go to a food bank or soup kitchen. Take a minute and check out their website. And then stop by the studio on Thursday to drop off your lunchbox full of lunchbox snacks.
And because I can’t post without a picture…..how’s this for cuteness overload?
It was an absolute pleasure spending some time with Miami’s own Maria Tettamanti “The Wordy Girl”-Miami’s fashion authority/blogger and her gorgeous family. Their fabulous style comes only second to the gorgeousness of those kiddos. And did I mention FUN?!?

At Courtney Studios we offer a ton of final portrait art options from framed single prints to gorgeous custom designed collages. This Signature 16 is one of the studio’s signature and most popular options. Starting at 20×20 the Signature 16 collage highlights 16 of your favorite portraits from you custom photography session in one statement art piece. All Signature 16 collages come ready to hang and in a variety of mounts. The first image is the digital proof. All custom designed pieces need approval from the client before being printed.
This is the Signature 16 printed and mounted on the fabulous Acrylic Standout mount. This one is particular is a 30×30. (Unfortunately taken with my iPhone 6 on the day it was delivered and installed). The acrylic reflects light beautifully and is truly a modern piece of portrait art.

Here in South Florida my older kids have 7 more days of school left. Summer is upon us, and my prediction is that it’s going to be a hot one. When it’s too hot outside gather a couple of friends and head on over to Courtney Studios for a portrait play date. Capture those special memories between best friends and share the $200 session fee. There are no order minimums and these special sessions are available all summer long. Contact the studio schedule your playdate.
