This family was in town from Argentina. Out of all the amazing photographers in South Florida, she asked me to document their vacation! What an honor and privilege. I have so many from this session to post, but the colors and light in this series had to be shared RIGHT NOW!!! xxoo
When we moved into the beach house, on Hollywood Beach, for the summer, my husband and I came up with a “beach bucket list.” Things we wanted to do and restaurants we wanted to eat at during our three month stay. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to do everything on the list, but we came very...

This has been an incredible week of firsts for my family, and more so for my 22 month old daughter, Stella. First week of preschool (photos to come), first night in our new (albeit temporary) home, and her first night in a “big girl” bed (after night #2 it isn’t going all too well). It’s...
I have to blog this family in two parts. This session was back in MAY (I’m so emabarrassed, that I’ve let this slip through the cracks). We’ve already had our second session together. If you notice, Mom is pregnant. She had her precious baby girl “E” two weeks ago tomorrow. One of the perks of...
This was the second of three newborn sessions I had last week. A record for me! Over the years I’ve really changed the way that I approach newborn sessions. I used to lug around a bean bag chair, heating pad, and white noise machine. And although pictures of newborns in contrived positions and poses...
Super excited about this Thursday. Courtney ortiz photography and The Haircut Hangout are hosting a Matilda Jane Clothing Trunk Show and School Supply Drive to benefit Kids in Distress. I can’t sing enough praises for Matilda Jane Clothing. Just a couple of weeks ago, a girlfriend of mine complained that she had a hard time...
There’s something really special when I start to build relationships with clients. When their kids start to recognize me and feel comfortable in front of my lens. This is one of those families. Mason just welcomed a new little sister into his home. Mason is an amazingly gorgeous little boy, full of spunk and energy...
While on vacay I got to visit with my cousin, and fellow photog, Kym Drum. Kym‘s a portrait event photographer in the Greenville, South Carolina area. We did a mini session on the streets of downtown Hendersonville. Kym has an amazing collection of vintage cameras. I thought it was only fitting to use them...
I love being in North Carolina. We spent four days in Flat Rock at my grandparent’s house. Flat Rock is just outside of Hendersonville, which is south of Asheville. Stella really enjoyed playing with Milo. Looks like they’re planning something naughty! My brother shooting some hoops. (What you don’t see is the hoop is really...
Last week, the third courtney ortiz photography newsletter was sent to the masses. Getting the newsletter out was the one thing I wanted to accomplish before leaving for vacation, and I did it. The one thing I didn’t do was completely update my mailing list so if I missed you (a sincere apology if I...

Also, courtney ortiz photography and the Haircut Hangout (become a fan on facebook) are sponsoring a “Back to School” school supply drive for the month of...
