About Me
My Story
Hi there! I'm Courtney! I'm thrilled to share a little slice of my story with you.
I grew up surrounded by the wide-open spaces of an acreage outside Ponoka. Alberta. In Ponoka I, was always surrounded by my large loving family and strangers that would come up and say I know your Mom or Dad.
Fast forward to after high school, I left the comforts of the small town to live in Calgary. I left to pursue higher education at the University of Calgary, where I delved into the world of Communications and Media Studies. Among the sea of courses, my heart was drawn to design and art. Living in Calgary also made me realize I did not want to move further away from the mountains, so I moved closer... ish!
In 2023, I left the craziness of the big city and moved to Cochrane, Alberta. I find myself embracing the quieter pace of life alongside my fiance, Tanner, and our two mischievous feline companions, Miikka and Iggy.
Photography has been a lifelong passion of mine, sparked by the humble beginnings of disposable cameras and nurtured by my sister's DSLR that I loved to borrow until I had my own. From snapping shots as a hobby to taking the plunge into professional photography in 2020, it's been a journey filled with endless creativity and joy.
In addition to capturing life's beautiful moments through my lens, I've also rediscovered my love for hair styling. What started as a high school hobby blossomed into a side gig that keeps me busy during wedding season.
When I'm not behind the camera or styling hair, you'll often find me indulging in my favorite hobbies – hiking, camping, paint nights, or knitting needles. And let's not forget a friendly game of volleyball or slo-pitch – because life is all about finding balance and embracing the things that make your heart sing.
So there you have it – a glimpse into the tapestry of my life, woven with love, laughter, and a touch of adventure. Thanks for joining me on this wild and wonderful journey – I can't wait to see where it takes us next!
