Hello!
My name is Courtney and I'm a passionate photographer based 30 minutes outside of the twin cities with just over a decade of experience as an amateur (jumping into the professional world in 2023). I first began my photography journey at the age of 15 with my mom’s point and shoot digital camera. I would spend countless hours out at the barn and around the house taking pictures of anything and everything. Fast forward a few years and here I am looking to capture the important moments and relationships in your life!
Photography serves as a creative outlet for me and is something I do out of pure enjoyment. During the day, I work as a medical device specialist and am involved in a lot of technical projects. So, when I get to pickup my camera and let my imagination run wild the right side of my brain gets excited.
My goal in everything I do… is to portray the personality of each person, couple, family, and animal while also capturing genuine emotions and interactions.
If you are looking for…a photographer who will effortlessly capture the moments and relationships that matter most to you, CKL Photography is the perfect choice.
I love taking the time to… get to know each client, understand their individual personality and overall vision for the shoot. This enables me to tailor every photo session so that is a relaxed and enjoyable experience that brings out your best.
Through my lens, I aim to not just capture moments, but to weave together stories that celebrate you and your relationships (two or four legged alike). Thank you for joining me on this wonderful adventure!
