courtney jade’s blog

I have been WAY behind on my photo blog posts the past few months, but when I saw that my photos were featured on Hostess with the Mostess today, it reminded me how I really needed to post Emerson’s one year cake smash session photos! Read the rest of this entry …

It has been a long while since I have shot a newborn baby girl, so when Stephanie called me and set up a session for her new bundle of joy, I was super excited!!

Sydney was a great sport, I’m really happy with the images that we got from her session. I just love how cute her room is, (Great job Stephanie & Scott!) The green is such a pretty color! Sydney was just 9 days old in these photos, congratulations Stephanie and Scott, on your new addition!

Here are a few of my favorites from their session, let me know what you think.

The weekend before last I got to spend some time with my lovely, wonderful step-sister and her two fabulous children, to shoot some photos.

McKenzie is now three years old, and a little firecracker! She has got an opinion of her own and she’s more than happy to share it with you. I just love little personalities! It’s so fun to ask them silly questions and hear their answers. I’m convinced that child logic is amazing.

Then there’s the adorable Brady. He just turned one month, and this was the first time I met him. What. A. Doll. I could eat him up I love him so!! Congrats on the handsome baby boy Bowling family!!!

Sometimes, when I’m lucky, I’m able to get a photo of a child that is almost like a vision into their future. It doesn’t always happen, but it did this day. Maybe it’s just me and my eyes, but when I look at this photo, I see a much older McKenzie than just a three year old little girl. These are some of my favorite moments to capture <3 And isn’t she just gorgeous?? Watch out Steph, this one’s going to be a heartbreaker!!!

And who couldn’t love a face like Brady’s?? Just look at those eyelashes! They would make any girl i know completely jealous. Why is it that the boys are always the ones with the thick, beautiful, long lashes? Thank heavens for mascara!!

Thank you for letting me capture some special moments for you and your family Many more to come!!

I got to shoot the ever-adorable baby grayson yesterday! He is just 12 days old in this sneak peek!

It took us over 2 hours to get him fast asleep (one of the biggest keys to newborn photography is LOTS of patience), but it was well worth it. I’m really trying to be more creative with my newborn shoots, and really take my time and get the best shots possible for my clients! I just adore how this one turned out (and the little boy who’s in it!)

Many more to come soon

i drove down to Corvallis, OR today to shoot with this beautiful couple. I am so excited about their photos, I just had to post one!

Many more to come soon… along with other shoots i’ve done lately

I am very fortunate to have so many talented friends! I would like to introduce you all to the lovely, Khrisma!!!

She recently started her own tutu making business, and let me tell you, these tutus are to die for!!
The colors are whimsical, vibrant, and sure to make any little girl feel like she is a princess. We had so much fun on this shoot! (and I have never in my life worked with a child who took direction as well.) At the adorable age of just 3 years old, she was happy and excited to be in front of the camera, modeling this beautiful tutu.

If you’re thinking about Halloween costumes, Khrisma has you covered! She is currently offering the tutu costumes: faeries, witches, pumpkins, and black cats. I’m sure if you have any special requests, she would do her best to create anything you can dream up! If you’d like to order one of these beautiful creations, contact her via email: Khrisma@hotmail.com
