Hi Everyone! I'm excited to introduce the Beaubaby team, one by one, by telling you a little about them.Courtney received her Photocommunications degree locally, in Austin, from St. Edward's University. (along with a business degree--yes she's both artistic and mathematically inclined, and graduated summa cum laude!)
Courtney was adopted and grew up an only child all over the US, from Chicago to Plano, before settling in Austin. At age 18, she located and met her older birth sister, who was pregnant at the time. Fast forward some years as Courtney took on an incredible documentary project, photographing the daily lives of her birth sister and her birth sister's 2 daughters in San Antonio, Texas.
I'm posting some of her images for you to see. Those of you who know me, know that my first published project was about birth mothers giving their babies up for adoption at an Abilene maternity home--the story and photos ran in Marie Claire--so Courtney's project was close to my heart.
Courtney has been photographing professionally for over 4 years, and brings her gentle demeanor and eye to our Beaubaby team. I tease her about being the "Pied Piper" of kids because they flock to her. Keep an eye out for her post about her recent session with 6 month old Oliver and 6 year old, Vivian!
