Hi, I'm Courtney.

 

The Nelson Newborn, maternity and family photographer behind the images capturing genuine connection between the people you love

 

Becoming a mother gave me a whole new appreciation for the beauty, strength and love that exists in every season of motherhood, and just how quickly these seasons pass. It inspired my passion for preserving these moments before they become memories. My sessions are thoughtfully guided, allowing space for meaningful connection while capturing timeless images that feel natural, beautiful and true to you.

"Courtney was amazing! From the moment we started organising our session, she responded so quickly and had wonderful ideas for capturing our family. She even paid attention to the little details, like bringing along our daughter's favourite toy, which made such a difference.


She was warm, professional and made us feel completely at ease throughout the session. Courtney guided us beautifully while still encouraging ideas that reflected our family and personalities. The photographs turned out even better than we could have imagined. She is incredibly talented, and we couldn't recommend her enough."
