A Little Bit About Me...
Hello! I am a lifestyle, family photographer, and maternity and newborn photo enthusiast, living in Central Massachusetts. When I’m not making memories with my family, I’m helping you capture yours. I’m also a full-time mom of two mostly sweet, sometimes sour toddlers. I spent over 20 years helping people celebrate their families and themselves over food, under pressure and on someone else’s schedule.
Having kids changed the way I think about time- who I want to spend it with and where I want to be as it passes. Because of that I’ve transformed my hospitality background and passion for creating magic moments into a photography career so I can spend more time with the people I want to celebrate most in this life, my family.
I know more than anyone it can be hard to get into photos or even remember to take them, so whether you’re looking for portraits or someone to capture your real-life moments, I’m here for you.
Lightly styled, lightly edited and heavily curated- just for you.
If you’d like to discuss a session please reach out! I can’t stop time for you but I can freeze it, just for a moment.
xoxo,
Courtney
Where are you located?
H&V is in Hudson, MA and generally operates within a 20 mile radius but I'm always open to discussion, including opening my home for indoor/outdoor sessions.
How far in advance should I book?
Life happens- sometimes fast and sometimes slow. I recommend booking at least 6-8 weeks out from your desired session date (or date range for newborn) but never hesitate to confirm availability on a tighter timeline... because if your life happened on short notice, someone else's probably did too.
What are your rates?
View the pricing page for more details or use the connect form to discuss a more specialized arrangement. There are inquiry links for each session type that can be used to streamline your booking if you know what type of session you want!
When should I book if I want a maternity session?
It truly is up to you, but 30-36 weeks is generally a good range. There are plenty of good reasons to shoot outside of that timeframe (some that may be beyond your control!) so don't hesitate to book earlier.
