I love taking pictures!

photo by Kevin Russ

my name is courtney
but you can call me court :)

I shoot with a Canon 5D mkII, and have the Nikon D80 (my very first DSLR- which most photos on here have been taken with) as my back-up.

I am self-taught, and still learning more every day.

my fav lens is my Canon 50mm 1.4, and the Nikon 50mm 1.8.
other than that,I shoot with a Canon 24mm wide angle lens, my Canon 85mm 1.8, and I have the 18-135mm wide angle zoom lens for my Nikon...

Primarily, I'm a fan of prime lenses, with a couple exceptions. My wish list:
Canon 85mm 1.4
Canon 70-200mm 2.8
Canon 35mm 1.4
Canon 10mm fisheye


my favorite subject is love.
newborns, children, couples. people in love, or loved ones :)
i like to capture the raw moments.
and i truly believe that the way people photograph others
is the way that they truly see what is in front of them.
it's all about finding the beauty in people.


i have a facebook and a myspace
but i only add people i know on a personal level
if you'd like to chat, just send me a message on here
i'm on flickr more than any of those other sites anyways.


Thanks for all of the comment/view love

    "Court,

    I will post here what I wrote on Bret's stream with your video.

    "Hahahahaha. You are one funny Dude Bret. And you are right. My friends list became 500+ from 200+ all because of Courney Jade. What I did was just browsed her friends, whom I though where as cool as she is, and added them too. From there, it grew, grew, grew some more. So yeah.

    Thanks Court... And Thanks Bret. This clip made me laugh a lot.
    Don't mention to Courtney it was the first pic that made me laugh."

    You Rock Miss Jade...

    - Jeff"
