Rebekah - Hi Courtney! I went to school with your husband. Your pics are gorgeous!! We live in a Philly suburb but my family has a place in Brigantine so we are in your neck of the woods all the time. My husband and I do some photography for fun (he’s better than me);)
Why I am happy admist this snow: watching my daughter drink hot chocolate, endless hours of playing little people and listening to makin music cd’s, movie night with my husband . . . I guess just the slow pace you are forced to do.
I added your blog to my photog link – hope that was okay! Can’t wait to see your latest pics! Cheers, Rebekah
Megan - Hi Courtney, I know about your blog because as you know I am a very satisfied past customer. I am so happy about all the snow this year because it has given me the chance to be a kid again w/my 8yr old. We have been sledding more time than I could count this year and each time we do we share a genuine smile between us.
Joanne - I’m NOT happy despite the snow. I’m happy BECAUSE of the snow. It’s given me a chance to have a lot of carefree fun with my husband and son. Winter’s version of playing on the beach…
To answer the second question, my friend posted a link to your blog on her facebook page and I’ve been enjoying the stories and beautiful photos!

Tracy - I’m loving every inch of the snow this winter! This is my youngest son’s first winter and the fact that it is record breaking makes it all that more memorable! I also can’t help but get excited about the snow when my other two boys get excited…it’s so contagious!
I’m new to your blog but I love your style!!! Congrats on your newly expanded family!!! That’s so exciting!!!
Rose - hey court! although we won’t be able to make the free session as i’ll still be recovering from the upcoming birth i couldn’t resist commenting on your blog. i’m so very proud of you! you are truly an inspiration with all that you juggle. i love the outdoor/beach photos you take, you have a real gift! keep up the great work, you are making memories for families to cherish a lifetime! one of these days i will make it down your way for session with you! i have so much to be happy for! so far health, happiness and humor fill the lives of family and friends around me, and with the pending arrival of #2 i couldn’t ask for anything more!
Crystal - Hey Court! So happy to hear the boys are home safe and sound…looking cuter than ever! Why do I read your blog? I’ve followed you since “The Nest” days. I read all about your pregnancy with Lily and have followed you since the beginning of your photography days. You are AWESOME! I envy you. Why am I happy admidst all this snow? Easy. Julianna keeps me smiling all day every day…even when we have no electric due to massive amounts of SNOW! Watching her grow & learn this past year has been the highlight of my life.
Pick ME, Pick ME! : )
Breinn - your pictures and kids are gorgeous!!! you are so blessed!!!
Katherine Friedman - Wow. Miss Maren is gorgeous!!! Congrats on the boys and how they are home and healthy.
Why am I happy in all this snow? Well, 1) I absolutely love snow. The more the better!We love to ski, ice skate, snowboard all of it! 2) my kids get to play in it! And I get the pleasure of watching them experience the newness of it all. My 2 yr old is having her first time playing in snow-making angels, snowmen, and snowballs! 3) its simple, but in these very troubled times we all have our health. All 5 of us, including the dogs. And our parents and that makes us very blessed. I have a good friend who is fighting for her life and it makes you stop and say thank you for the things we take for granted.
Monica Negron - 1. i read your blog because i find it fascinating and insightful. I think you are inspiring too! You manage a toddler, a set of twins, a job and a back up job..
2. My happy thoughts are DISNEY.. The twins 1st trip and Lilly showing them the ropes! I can’t wait to see all your pictures from that trip!
3. Your photography is beautiful. Anyone can see the love you have for it and the attention you pay to every detail..
