Hello, I'm Courtney
Wedding/lifestyle Photographer
Hey there! I’m Courtney also known as Sha. I’m a full-time photographer and proud mama based in South Mississippi, though I’m always willing to travel wherever your story leads. I live in the small, sweet town of Sumrall with my husband and best friend, Austin, and our four wonderful children: Adaleigh, Keagan, Kylie, and Haysen.
I’ve been passionate about photography since 2013. What started as a dream has grown into a career that allows me to do what I truly love capturing real, heartfelt moments for families, couples, and individuals. Whether it’s a milestone, a celebration, or the everyday magic in between, I’m honored to help preserve your most meaningful memories. My goal is to make your experience not only beautiful but fun, relaxed, and everything you hoped it would be.
Above all, my journey has been guided by faith. Jesus is the foundation of my life and my business. Through every season the highs and the challenges his grace, love, and constant presence have carried me. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Him, and I’m incredibly grateful for the path He continues to lead me on.
Proverbs 3:5–6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take."
"my approach"
Every session I photograph is more than just a moment it’s a reflection of the beauty God has placed in your story. It’s a way to hold onto the fleeting, the sacred, and the everyday with purpose and heart.
As a wife, mama of four, and believer, photography is deeply personal to me. It’s about legacy capturing the love, laughter, and quiet moments that make your life uniquely yours.
Here’s what you can expect when we work together:
🤍 Heartfelt Connection
Before I ever lift my camera, I want to know you. Your story, your people, what matters most. You're not just booking a session you’re inviting me into something meaningful, and I don’t take that lightly.
✨ Natural Light, Real Emotion
I’m drawn to light and the honest, unscripted in-between moments belly laughs, soft glances, little hands wrapped around yours. I want your photos to feel like your life: genuine, warm, and full of soul.
🙏 Faith-Filled Foundation
My business is grounded in prayer and purpose. I pray over every session, asking God to use my work to bring peace, joy, and a glimpse of His goodness. You’ll feel that peace the moment we begin.
👣 Gently Guided Moments
I’ll never leave you wondering what to do. I’ll guide you with ease into movement and emotion whether you’re dancing in the golden light, snuggled up close, or simply being present with your people. It’s natural, never forced.
💫 Simple. Soulful. Intentional.
I want you to walk away with more than just beautiful images. I want you to remember the feeling the calm, the joy, the ease of being seen and known. With me, it’s more than a session it’s a keepsake of this chapter in your life.
