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...

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...

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...
I am falling in love with what is Hollywood Beach more and more each day. My family and I are living on the beach this summer until the end of August, and it’s been a transition for sure, but I know that my husband and I are going to look back on these three months...
The Third Installment……. I had a “lifestyle session” on the beach this evening, and my family was waiting for me on the Hollywood Broadwalk playground as I walked home. (A benefit of living on the beach and shooting on the beach is the commute.) …a joyous sight indeed!… Black and white really spoke to me...
I haven’t been photographing my kids as much as I thought I would this summer, but as long as I’m getting images like the following, I’m all about quality over quantity. My dad came over last week, one evening, and we went kite flying. “Grandaddy’s here!”
Another gorgeous family for a Lifestyle Session on Hollywood Beach!!! courtney ortiz photography for the modern family
Let’s talk about wardrobe and family photography sessions on the beach. I 100% encourage clients to NOT wear all white on the beach. Especially all white and matching! I do this for a number of reasons, although the #1 most important reason is……IT’S BORING. I tell potential clients, “If you wouldn’t dress that way...
