Two hearts, one little dream,
growing closer than it seems.
A tiny life, a love brand new,
a whole world waiting just for you.
Soon they’ll hold you, laugh, and see
the little one who made them three.
For now, they wait with hearts so true,
already in love with you.

OKAY, I HAVE PEAKED😍

How can I possibly top this maternity session🤌🏼😭

I can’t wait to meet this sweet baby as this mama is also a dear friend of mine!

This sweet mama is about to welcome a new little girl to the family very soon and I am SO excited for her! Our little friend group has grown so much this year and it has been so amazing to have such an amazing group of girls to turn to during post partum🤍
It was my pleasure to do some mom and me photos for her before her new bundle of joy arrives!

Hello All,

I have recently given my website a facelift! Please go check it out!

https://www.thistlewoodphotography.com

Additionally, I wanted to take a moment to share a little update with you all. You may have noticed that my photography prices have changed based on my website and when you inquire, and these new prices are effective immediately.
This was not a decision I made lightly. I’ve worked hard to continue being one of the more affordable photographers in the area, while also recognizing how much I’ve grown and learned throughout my photography journey. I’m incredibly proud of the work I create, the experience I’ve gained, and the value I’m able to provide to each of my clients. I feel that my pricing should reflect that growth.

At the same time, the cost of running a small business has increased significantly over the past few years. From equipment and editing software to storage and everyday business expenses, the costs add up quickly. Even something as simple as an SD card has tripled in price within the last year.

I’m so grateful for every person who has trusted me with their memories, supported my business, shared my work, recommended me to friends and family, or simply cheered me on along the way. Your support means more to me than you know.

I’ll always do my best to provide beautiful, meaningful images while keeping my services as accessible as I reasonably can. Thank you for allowing me to continue doing what I love and for supporting this little business of mine. 🤍

All my love,
Courtney

Here’s my application to be your outdoor newborn photographer🥰

As the sun went down it cooled off just perfectly for this session and the warmth made conditions perfect for this little guy🤍

YES IT IS A GOOD MORNING BECAUSE, baby I’m back😍

This three month milestone session has me all teary-eyed. He has grown so much since I did his fresh 48 a few months ago.🥺

The good news about my baby not sleeping well, is my client got their session back quick, like less than 24 hours quick 🤣

Newborns are some of my favorite to photograph.
But I am a little partial to this sweet girl of mine🤍

I am happy to offer in home newborn sessions, in fact, I did this session on my front porch with my son’s bean bag chair🤣 I can make just about anything work!

So excited to get back into the swing of things with a 3 month milestone and some maternity photos in the next few weeks!

PM to book🤍
