🍬Mother Ginger has 11 children…

The other 6? Probably hiding under her skirt, causing chaos, or testing her last nerve!

Being a mom of 11 is no joke, especially during the holidays!

Come meet Mother Ginger and her wild bunch in Lejeune Dance Company’s “The Nutcracker: All Jazzed Up!” 🩰✨

📅 December 13 at 3 PM!

Clara and her sister Francine are NOT seeing eye to eye when it comes to one very special Christmas gift… the Nutcracker!

A little jealousy, a little drama, and a whole lot of sisterly chaos!

Will these sisters work things out, or is this Christmas party about to get a little more interesting?

Come see the magic unfold in Lejeune Dance Company’s “The Nutcracker: All Jazzed Up!”

🎟️ TICKETS GO ON SALE SOON! 🎟️

🗓️ December 13, 2026
⏰ 3:00 PM

Save the date and get ready for a Nutcracker like you’ve never seen before! 🎷🩰✨

What a wonderful way to welcome November! ❤️🎄
Yesterday was filled with beautiful dancers, gorgeous costumes, and plenty of Nutcracker magic with Lejeune Dance Company!
I had such a wonderful time photographing everyone, and now the editing begins!

Thank you to everyone who joined me yesterday. I can’t wait for you to see your photographs! ❤️

🤎🍂I know I’ve been a little quiet on here the past few days, but sometimes I need to step away from posting, catch my breath, and get myself reset for everything coming up!
November is looking like a BUSY one, and I’ve been spending some time behind the scenes getting organized, catching up on things, and preparing for all the fun (and chaos 🤪) that comes with this time of year!
🩰 Lejeune Dance Company picture days are coming up, and I’m so excited to have all those sweet dancers in front of my camera again!
🍁 Autumn Light Sessions still have some availability! If you’ve been meaning to get those fall family pictures done, I’d love to get you on my calendar before things get too crazy.
🦃 Thanksgiving week will be a little break for me. I’m planning to step away from work, slow down, and soak up some much-needed time with my family before we jump into the Christmas season.
I love what I do, and I’m so thankful for everyone who continues to support this little business of mine. But I’m also learning that I don’t have to be constantly posting or working to keep things moving. Sometimes I just need a few days to reset and get my ducks in a row. 🤍
So if you haven’t seen much from me lately, I’m still here! Just working behind the scenes, juggling all the things, and getting ready for a full November!

I can’t wait to see so many of you soon! 🥰📸

Love is in the air… and apparently, so are pumpkin heads! 🎃🖤
Who says romance can’t have a little Halloween magic? 🧡👻

🍂✨ A LITTLE MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR AUTUMN LIGHT! ✨🍂

I’ve decided to make a little change to this year’s Autumn Light Sessions!

Rather than offering these beautiful fall portraits on just one afternoon, I’ll now be opening up select dates throughout the season! ❤️

I know how busy family schedules can be, and I want to make it a little easier to capture those beautiful moments together.

🍁 15–20 minute outdoor portrait session
📸 10 beautifully edited digital images
🍂 $300 total investment
❤️ $100 deposit to reserve your date

These sessions are perfect for updated family portraits, holiday cards, and meaningful Christmas gifts for grandparents!

Availability will still be limited as we head into the busy holiday season.

If you’ve been wanting updated family photographs but November 7 didn’t work for your schedule, send me a message! I’d love to find a date that works for your family.

Let’s capture a little autumn magic together! 🍂❤️

✨ Something new is coming to Amanda Courtney Photography! ✨

You know how much I love beautiful outdoor light, sandy beaches, and the natural moments that happen during family sessions.

But I’ve also been dreaming of offering something a little different.

I’m exploring a gorgeous studio portrait experience right here in Onslow County! Think timeless family portraits, beautiful children’s portraits, editorial senior sessions, and creative sessions that aren’t dependent on the weather.

The same colorful, classic photography you know and love — with some exciting new possibilities.

And yes, outdoor and beach sessions are absolutely staying! ❤️

I’d love to know: Would you be interested in a studio portrait session?

Some weddings are beautiful because of the setting. Others are beautiful because of the love you can feel in every moment. Ashlynn and Roberto’s beach wedding was both. 🤍🌊

The day was hot, the humidity was high, and there wasn’t a dry eye in sight as these two exchanged some of the most beautiful, heartfelt, and personal vows surrounded by their family.

There were happy tears, laughter, and so much love. The kind of moments that remind me why I love capturing weddings.

Ashlynn and Roberto, thank you for allowing me to be part of such a special day. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and beautiful memories! 🤍
