More about Courtney S....
What do you love about your job?
Reactions, being able to get someone to saw "aww" or "wow", or a little pause as they take in their moments now captured. It doesn't matter how hard the shoot could have been, how much work goes into props or settings, in the end it's that little catch of breath, the stares, and then the final reactions that really make it all worth it.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
Automotive photoshoots are made special by focusing on. The small details that come together to make the whole piece. And by that, it's the small details such as wheels, body kit flares, headlights being showcased in a certain way. Really capturing the whole body of the car to present the whole idea.
I've made paparazzi style couples photoshoots with on camera flash and fake bushes to help them achieve a believable candid look. A small girls dreams of being a princess surrounded by butterflies, her mother and I found some small white butterflies on wire and I was able to tie them together and pose them on her so the wires didn't show. The final look on that one was given a nice diffusion from softening my strobe and it looks like the butterflies are dancing around her hands.
Awards, honors, and recognitions received
I've had three of my studio portraits recognized by lifetouch and used as training and promotional material. These came from a family group photo with a newborn, a fun "cringe" jcpenney photoshoot, and I have done headshots for the ceo of a large modeling agency that is displayed on the front page of their website.
A fun fact about this photographer
I've had ten baby goats climbing on top of my chest just so I could capture a unique group shot of them all.
