I'm Courtney
Hey ya!
I went from slinging lattes to capturing love stories for seriously in love couples
From starbucks manager to wedding photographer
These are a few of my favorites things
So nowadays you'll find me spending my time working in my home office, a cup of coffee at my elbow, putting together a list of new home improvement projects for my hubby to complete, snuggling with my two kiddos, Jackson and Harper, or crafting a genuine, fun wedding experience for my sweet client friends.
When I was 30 and left my manager job at Starbucks to focus on doing photography, I had no clue where it would take me! All I knew was I was stuck in a rut at a job that sucked the joy out of my life. I enjoyed the process of crafting signature coffees and the connections I had with my customers, but I had that quintessential experience of getting a new boss who was terrible. Like...TERRIBLE, terrible. So with my husband's support, I went from serving coffee to shooting weddings full-time and have never looked back!
