Time spent with a family with a brand new baby, especially if it’s their first baby, is precious. I love how attentive both parents are, and as a mom of three I try not to impart too much of my “wisdom”. Watching new parents start this journey for the first time is always so cute and innocent, and these two “newbie” parents didn’t disappoint in the slightest. Leo was four weeks old that morning, and he was bright eyed and bushy tailed for 3/4 of our time together.
If you’re expecting and want to document this amazing and yet fleeting time in your life, please don’t hesitate to contact the studio and tentatively schedule your session based on your baby’s due date.

Our busiest season of the year is well underway, and it all started on Saturday morning with this gorgeous pair of sisters Alexa and Sydney (and their equally gorgeous mama). And to think this weekend was supposed to be a “washout”, so glad Mother Nature had a change of plans.
Weekend sessions are quickly filling up. Don’t hesitate to make your appointment for your custom portrait session at the studio.

Three times a charm for Dylan and Vaughn. I’ve been capturing these twins for three years. Although they are not identical, they are definitely equal in the handsome department. They came down to the studio for their yearly portrait session. We didn’t let a little rain get in our way.
The three mini session dates are quickly filling up. Only a few November dates remain. Contact the studio for more information and to schedule your session; courtney@courtneyortiz.com 954-558-6893

If there’s one thing the three older brothers can agree on, it’s that they ALL LOVE their new baby brother, Lucas. Each one of those older brothers wanted to be the one to hold, hug, and kiss little Lucas, and they weren’t too keen on sharing. Lots of love is a good thing and this house was overflowing with it.
The September newsletter was sent out yesterday. Read it here! Lots of great information and mini session specials.
Matilda Jane Trunk Show is tomorrow, September 4 @ the studio. Check the facebook event page for more information.

Life happens!
The out takes are some of my favorites. The activity never stops with four boys from 9 weeks to 7 years.
It’s almost Friday and the start of a three day weekend. We survived the first weeks of school and Monday off is pretty awesome. Summer is officially over. EVERYONE is back to school the Tuesday after Labor Day right!? To commemorate the lazy days of summer I’m sharing anther “One Shoot a Week.” “One Shoot a Week” is a collaborative photography project with my good friend and amazing artist, Alissa Alfonso. It was a fun way to combine her artistic eye and love of everything vintage, with the love of our kids, and photography. This shoot took place at the beginning of the summer. It was a cover shoot for the Hollywood Gazette’s story on Food Trucks in Hollywood. A big thanks to Hippops for coming out and playing with us that morning.

Meet Crosby. This was Crosby’s last session in his “Pick 3: A Year in Pictures” portrait package. I captured mom and dad for their maternity, Crosby as a newborn, and finishing it up with his Family/cake smash session. Although I’m pretty sure I’ll be seeing them again soon. Mom is expecting #2 in December.

If you’re a regular Courtney Ortiz Photography blog reader then you know that I’ve been collaborating with artist Alissa Alfonso on a series of photo shoots over the summer; “One Shoot a Week”. I can’t sing her praises enough. She is an amazing creative and continues to inspire me everyday. Her talent is showcased in the latest issue of Flea Market Style Magazine with photos by me. Really takes the definition of “collaboration” to the next level, when it leads to publication in a major magazine. Congrats to you Alissa. Your feature is well deserved, and it’s an honor and privilege to see my images in print.

Senior portraits have come a looooooong way, since I was photographed for my senior class yearbook portrait. (c/o 95) Remember the feather boa while holding the fake red rose? Well times have definitely changed. Welcome class of 2015. These girls came to play with Sally (of Smash Beauty Lounge fame) and I last week. Together we collaborated on a series of Senior Portraits that truly mirrored the personality, style, and friendship of the four high school seniors from University School.
Break outside the senior portrait mold and let’s create something that is totally amazing. Custom senior portrait packages available. Contact the studio for more information.

Happy first birthday sweet Raquel. Raquel is not only the youngest of 4 gorgeous children, she’s the ONLY girl. Raquel has three older brothers. So there’s no denying that she holds a very special place in her mama’s heart. To capture this princess’s birthday we broke up the custom portrait session into 2 parts. The first session took place at home, and the second at the studio for the smash cake. First off, I have to give huge props to her mama, Francine. She did an amazing job designing Raquel’s nursery. Francine is owner of Give Wink, Miami’s premier baby and kid’s boutique. From furniture (with design services available on site), baby gear, gifts, and toys, Give Wink has it ALL. Just take a look at that crib. Only one word…FABULOUS.
I love that we incorporated a small family heirloom. This small red leather purse that belonged to her mama as a young girl.
I did mention her three older brothers…..HANDSOME! Something tells me Raquel is in very good hands.
