EMBRACE
the EVERYDAY
and ENJOY THE PROCESS
An intentional process designed to keep things easy on you while turning real life into something worth framing.
THE CLP EXPERIENCE
The details are kind of my thing.
From wardrobe to location, I'll help you think through the little details that make a session feel personal. Often, they're the things you wouldn't have thought to include, but end up meaning the most.
My goal is to create photographs worthy of your walls with an experience that still feels relaxed while they’re being taken.

01
Intentional planning and styling
We’ll talk through locations, wardrobe, artwork, and what you're hoping to capture from this season. By the time session day comes, you'll be fully prepared and able to relax in the moment.
02
Beautiful photos of your people, actually acting like themselves.
The sessions themselves are playful, guided when needed, and built around real interaction instead of perfect behavior. We follow the energy of the kids, leave room for personality, and still end up with photographs worthy of your walls.
03
Heirloom artwork for your home
Your photographs deserve better than sitting forgotten somewhere in a folder. From heirloom albums to framed artwork, I’ll help you turn your images into pieces that actually become part of your home.

HOW IT WORKS
After Your Initial Inquiry
You'll receive my detailed pricing guide straight to your inbox. Once we’ve selected a date, you’ll officially book your session online with a signed contract and retainer payment.
Planning & Consulting
You'll receive a session guide and questionnaire so I can start getting to know your family and what matters most to you. Then we’ll hop on a planning call to finalize all the details together.
Online Gallery Delivery
Once your gallery is ready, you'll view your images online and choose the collection that's right for you and how you plan to enjoy your photographs.
Heirloom Albums and Framing
We’ll design your custom artwork together, choosing the sizes and finishes that fit your home best. Everything arrives ready to hang or hold in your hands.
YOU SHOULD KNOW
Kids do not need to sit still to photograph beautifully.
Most of the photos people end up framing are the ones nobody planned for. The personality is usually the best part anyway.
Your family already has everything we need.
The goal isn't to recreate someone else's session. It's to create photographs that feel like they could only belong to your family.
The best photographs leave room for the unexpected.
Some of the most meaningful photographs happen in between the moments you thought you wanted.
Your only job is to enjoy your family.
Children already know how to be interesting. The adults usually just need permission to let go of expectations and stay present.
The little details you choose tells part of the story.
From what you wear to the places you love, thoughtful choices give your photographs a sense of time and place.
Your photographs deserve a life outside your hard drive.
Albums get passed around. Frames become part of the house. That’s the whole point.
I can’t say enough good things about Courtney!
She was super supportive before the shoot with easy communication on what our vision was, support picking our outfits, and easy planning overall. She made us feel comfortable during the shoot and it shows in the photos. They exceeded my expectations, they are BEAUTIFUL. I can’t stop staring at them!
