Hey yāall!
Iām Cortney, the face behind Cortney Russell Photography, and Iām stepping into 2026 with an already full heart. Iām a wife of almost 13 years (a proud Red Raider who somehow fell in love with an Aggie š¤), a boy mom to two wild-and-wonderful little guys, and a lifelong sideline mom who cheers louder than their dad wants š and never misses a game!
When Iām not behind the camera, youāll probably find me chasing a good sweat sesh at (shoutout to my gym fam šŖ), sipping a Diet Dr Pepper, sneaking Hot Tamales, stressing over true crime podcasts, or getting lost in a sappy love story (balance, right?). Iām an outdoor-loving, sports-playing, fishing-with-the-boys kind of mom who always says yes to sunshine and fresh air. āļø
Iām an extrovert at heart but a major homebodyāthe small things truly make me happy. Family walks, bike rides with my boys, lake life, time in my little garden, and snuggles with my almost 17-year-old malti-poo, Murray Wayne.
I have a serious case of wanderlustāwhether itās a tiny weekend adventure, checking off a new state, or getting a fresh stamp on my passport, I love exploring with my family. The best magic happens in the everyday moments⦠the simple memoriesāand those are exactly the stories I love to capture š¤šø
Hereās to a beautiful year ahead and BIG things for CRP. Stay tuned, mamasāthis year I have something special coming just for you! ⨠Cheers! Letās make some everyday magic in 2026!
