This session was given as a baby shower gift to this family, and I just love how thoughtful that is! Baby Cam was born this past January, and was just the sweetest little newborn. His grandmother was there for our session and had so many sweet little hats and clothes for him. You could see […]

On a Tuesday night in February, I eagerly sat at my computer counting down the seconds to 9:00pm when the quarterly registration of The Everyday Film Workshop opened. After finding Emily on Instagram and seeing her real, authentic photographs and films I was so inspired to learn this very special skill. Video has always appealed […]

It’s no secret that I am kind of obsessed with bows for my baby girl. In fact the first few things I bought for her were hair bows (and a pair of gold moccasins – because obviously I knew the essentials!). I’ve tried to put a bow on James every day so that she gets used to wearing them, as I hope she will wear them into her toddler years! There is just nothing sweeter than a baby girl in a little bow!

I had the honor of photographing Miss Isabella Grace at just 5 days old. This session was particularly special to me, because this little babe was present at my own daughters birth just a few months ago. How can that be? Because her mama is the incredibly talented Sabrina Fields, who was our birth photographer for James’ arrival. Isabella was nestled safe in her mamas belly for the 15 hours Sabrina was with us to document her James’ birth – how cool is that!?

We have dedicated our business to capturing the beauty of family and motherhood in every stage of life, and adding birth photography has been a dream and goal for Courtney Malone Photography for a very long time. We are pleased to be offering introductory rates for May and June 2017 due dates.

Logan was the last babe I photographed in the hospital before welcoming my own daughter, and let me just say that after my own hospital experience, I have a new perspective on these precious sessions! Bless you mama’s who let me into such a life changing moment. The days in the hospital are blurry, at times overwhelming, and incredibly exhausting, but the sweetness and that falling in love feeling you have for your new baby are far greater than anything else. 

What a humbling experience it has been to become a mother. Being a photographer that documents so much of motherhood and family life has been such an honor and gift to me since my humble beginning in the Fall of 2014, and becoming a mother myself has given me such a new perspective for this little business of mine. 

We are excited to kick off the new year with the addition of some new services. First on the list, Newborn Keepsake Videos. These little videos will be recorded during your in-home lifestyle newborn session and capture the essence of those sweet newborn days, with clips of everything from you holding your baby, to those sweet little details of their tiny features.

Gosh, I love this family. Not only have I been photographing them since the humble beginning of Courtney Malone Photography, but they are very dear friends, who have become more like family to us. 

In celebration of the fact that it is BABY MONTH and that we are officially full term at 37 weeks, I wanted to share a tour of our baby girl’s little nursery. I have had so much fun putting this room together, and often find myself just standing in the room admiring her little things, and soaking in the smell of Dreft and fresh diapers. Gosh, those smells are just so good. 

On a gorgeous early fall day, I met the Fackler family at Furman for some fall photos and time spent exploring the grounds of the gorgeous campus. I love this spot for photographs, and since dad is an alumni AND works for the university, it has extra special meaning to this family of four. 

I’ve had the privilege to photograph the Geppi family a few times, starting last year when they were just a few months pregnant, to maternity photos this Spring, and now with their 5 month old son William! We did their maternity photos at a cute little park that is right in front of their home, and did some shots in front of their house as well, and we revisited that same spot to get some quick Fall photos of their growing family!
