“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Courtney on both professional and personal projects over the years, and I can’t say enough about the care, artistic detail and thoughtful storytelling she puts into her editing and photography work. Most recently, I commissioned some portraits of my family and our dog during my dog’s last few months. Courtney came to our home with a calm, professional demeanor during our difficult time and spent as much time with us as we needed in order to get the shots we wanted, and she nailed it. I’ll cherish the photos for many years to come. Before then, I worked with Courtney at Al Jazeera, where she worked editing short documentaries. Courtney’s able to take a regular video story and turn it into a work of art, selecting the exact right shots and perfect music to convey the mood and topping it off with great color correction and smooth transitions. Every piece that Courtney edited, I put on my professional reel. I’d highly recommend working her on anything video or photo.”

I have an annual tradition of updating my websites with photographs that reflect my current look, vibe and intentions.  Courtney Whitman's Photography encompassed all of that and more!  Her prompt and professional response to my initial inquiry along with her thoughtful and warm phone consultation confirmed I was talking to the right artist.  From the photo sessions to the editing process, I, along with my pictures, were in excellent hands.  There is a softness in Courtney's demeanor that is equally coupled with a strong attention to detail, flexibility with spontaneity, and an impressive understanding of lighting and location.  The pictures I envisioned in my mind were enhanced a million-fold with Courtney's command of the art and science of photography.  I appreciate that Courtney takes the safety and health of her clients and herself very seriously during these interesting times.  I highly recommend her photography and most definitely look forward to working with her again!

“Courtney is gifted with the kind of visual storytelling talent that simply cannot be taught. As a journalist and producer, I always found in Courtney a genuine collaborator whom I trusted fully to transform a script and raw story elements into a thoughtful, powerfully edited final product that packed a punch with audiences. Collaborating with her is a privilege that I hope to experience again one day in the future.”
