I’m currently taking a break from this venture! I had hoped to continue booking clients while building a new business focused on empowering and strengthening women—check it out, The Carry), but I’ve found that my time and energy are fully needed there right now. If you’d like to be added to my waitlist for future photo sessions, feel free to drop me a line—I’d love to reconnect when the time allows.
Much love!
Xo, Cortney
