Love Letters

-Taylor S.

We absolutely adore Courtney!

We’ve used her for engagement, newborn, and family photos.
She is great at making you feel comfortable, and is so sweet. Her photos are absolutely beautiful.

We receive so many compliments on them. And she gets them back you so quickly!

Courtney has photographed our family and our milestone events for many years and every single time we are blown away by her ability to capture the heart of our family and lives.
Recently, we hired her to photograph and brand our family owned business. It has absolutely been the decision we have made in regards to our marketing and advertising.
She worked tirelessly planning our sessions and dug deeply into the background and nature of our business in order to bring our vision to life.
She’s a joy to be around and made the whole process easy to understand.
We are thrilled with the outcome of the product and services she provided.
She is an all around pro and it is evident she has a passion and deep rooted love for her work and art.

-Tanya M.

Courtney is amazing at everything she does, Especially photography!

She is so sweet, patient, thoughtful and creative and it shows in every single photo she takes.

She will be a part of my families memories for all the years to come 

-Samantha D.

Courtney was such a breeze to work with!

She helped to pose our family perfectly for fun family photos! She was efficient, ready to shoot and phenomenal to work with!

Our kids loved her and our photos are just stunning! Not over edited and great quality! Probably slightly underpriced for her talent, but we are beyond impressed with her work!

Will be booking her year round to capture our little family growing!!

-Ellen G.

I couldn’t have asked for better portraits of my Jupiter!
We have used Bolder Creek photography at Pure Pet’s pet portrait events twice now.

Courtney was amazing.

Lighting fast with her camera, she capture the most endearing poses of my energetic pup.

We HIGHLY recommend Courtney & Bolder Creek.

-Angie F.

Courtney always goes above and beyond to make your pictures perfect!
She is the sweetest person I know.
No matter what she always had a sweet smile on her face ❤️❤️

-Sydney H.

I’ve worked with Courtney multiple times and every time she exceeds my expectations.

She’s professional and funny, making your experience fun and comfortable.
I loved that she came to my house to do newborn pictures.

She’s always up for new ideas to make great pictures, even if that means walking in a cold creek!
Let her work her magic for you!
