Lily & Sophie | South Florida Family Photographer

I have no problems breaking out the “potty talk” during a session, but this session took “potty talk” to new heights and we had a blast.  We spent some time together exploring some new spots in downtown Hollywood.  In fact, these guys were my guinea pigs.  You’ll definitely be seeing more of these locations in the coming weeks.  (Maybe even in your own portraits).  Mini sessions available in downtown Hollywood on the morning of Sunday, November 17.  Call the studio 954-558-6893 or email courtney@courtneyortiz.com

See you soon,

“It’s Who Are You…”

Jack & Ryan | South Florida Family Photographer

Meet Jack and Ryan.  Not to be mistaken for Jack Ryan, beloved Tom Clancy novel character.  These two brothers are super adorable and we spent a morning at one of my favorite toddler parks.

If you have little ones and don’t think a downtown Hollywood session is exactly right for you, meet me on Saturday, November 16 for mini sessions at this favorite outdoor play park of mine.  Call the studio at 954-558-6893 or shoot me an email for more information.

See you soon,

“It’s Who You Are…”

Simona on the High Line | Manhattan Family Photographer

Simona’s parents drove all the way from their home in Boston to meet me in New York City.  This really really really meant a lot to me.  We met on Saturday afternoon at The Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking District and then made our way onto the High Line.  Even though its packed on the weekend we still had a great time.  Stopped at the Chelsea Market for a “People’s Pop”, appreciated street art, and played in the green space.  It was truly a lifestyle session that portrayed true life on a Saturday afternoon in New York City.

I’ll be back in Manhattan after the first of the year.  If you live in the area and would like more information regarding commissioning me for a session please call the studio at 954-558-6893 or shoot me an email, courtney@courtneyortiz.com.

See you soon,

Apparently Simona didn’t have the same vision for this shot as I did.

Nina | Manhattan Family Photographer

I first met Nina in May, when her mother commissioned her portraits down here on my turf on Hollywood Beach.  So of course, I was beyond thrilled to see Nina again on her turf during my trip to New York City.  She is super adorable and spending time with her and her family actually made me miss my own kids.

I’ll be in the NYC area again for commissioned portraits in January.  Please email courtney@courtneyortiz.com or call the studio 954-558-6893 for more information.

Raina & Shaye | Manhattan Family Photographer

I’ve been shooting these girls for over four years, and just because they moved from South Florida to New York, didn’t mean our relationship was over.  Raina, Shaye, and their fabulous mom Tanya met me on a gray foggy Saturday morning in Manhattan.  We met outside The Standard Hotel, explored the Meatpacking District, and strolled the High Line (which is quickly becoming my favorite spot in the city).

I’ll be back in New York in January.  Stay tuned for more details.

See you soon,

Maddie and Jordan | South Florida Family Photographer

I think it’s been three years since I last photographed little Maddie and Jordan, although they’re not that little anymore.  They are now two very gorgeous young ladies.  We spent an amazing afternoon in my ‘hood, downtown Hollywood.

Very limited availability for the remainder of 2013.  Seems crazy to be thinking about the end of the year already, but 2014 will be here before we know it, and I’m ready!

See you soon,

“It’s Who You Are…”

The Order Session | South Florida Family Photographer

As a portrait artist, my vision goes beyond what I see in my camera. It’s also how I feel the final piece should be viewed and enjoyed. It’s important that the final tangible piece I place in your hands is of the absolute best quality.  I also understand that choosing your favorite images in a gallery of sometimes over 100 images can be a daunting task at best (Yes, 2-3 hours with me during a lifestyle session can result in that many images.  It’s your story!).

When you commission me for portrait art, the process is collaborative from the moment we first speak on the phone until the artwork goes up on your walls.  After your portrait session, we will make another appointment to meet again either at your home or at Gallery 2014 in downtown Hollywood.  Together we go over all of your images and discuss your options. You get a chance to  see and touch real samples and design your wall gallery display that best fits your home’s decor and budget.

This family knew right away that they wanted a gallery display in their “Play Zone.”  The bright colors of their portraits meld perfectly with the bright colors of the toys.  The family wanted to hang their portrait art in an area of the home where the pieces would get the most enjoyment. Together we chose the four images that best showcased the personality of their sons and them together as a family.

Print options range from traditional prints that can be matted and framed to non-traditional mediums like printing on wood, metal, and acrylic.  The latter options do not need a frame and come ready to hang.  This family wanted to really make a statement and decided on 4 16×20 gallery-wrap canvases.  Owning the digital negatives was also important to this young family, and that is why I make all digital negatives available to clients who make a minimum investment in art.

Displaying large-scale portraits in your home, whether they are framed prints or gallery-wrapped canvas will take your breath away every time you walk into the room.

I offer full installation of your portrait art.  (Not everyone has a handy hubby.)

As an “add-on” the family opted for the mini accordion brag book.  These 3×3 custom designed brag books with magnetic closure, come in a clear plastic cover in sets of three.  Perfect gift for family or for yourself.

The portrait art from Courtney Ortiz Photography will last forever.  These are pieces that will be passed down through the generations for both you and your children to enjoy.

See you soon,

Ayden | South Florida Newborn Photographer

I’m really loving all this newborn goodness lately.  Almost makes me want to have another one…almost!  Ayden was 1 month old when I came over to “play”.  I can honestly say, this was the sleepiest baby I’ve ever had the joy to work with.  Plus, mom and dad are really into costumes, and had a whole bunch ready for me.  Which made playing dress up fun!

Lots going on in the studio.  The busiest time of the year has begun and my signature Downtown Hollywood session dates can be found here.  Call or email for more information.

See you soon,

Sometimes my favorite images from a newborn session are the ones I capture as soon as I get to the house.  Dad let me in, and this is exactly how I found Ayden and his mommy.
