Our story...
Capturing Hearts Photography began in 2011 when owner and photographer, Cortney Smith, decided to make her childhood dream a reality. It was this dream that birthed Capturing Hearts Photography into the photography service it is today. Cortney's photography journey truly began
{Photographer & Owner}
Cortney Smith
at just 11 years old. It was at this young age Cortney received a precious gift from her parents, her first camera. From that day on she never set the camera down. Throughout her childhood and teen years she photographed everything from friends on the playground to High School football games. Her passion for photography has continued into adulthood and motherhood. Cortney truly wants to capture the hearts of people and see what God sees in their life as she photographs them. She desires to love people the way Jesus loves them with every photo she takes. This desire flows into Capturing Hearts Photography with every photo taken and every interaction. Cortney is a self taught photographer, however; she does not qualify herself as self taught. She will tell you, "I am taught by the Lord, the Holy Spirit has taught me everything I know and continue to learn." Her way of thinking stems from a little Bible verse Cortney holds dear to her heart. 1 John 2:27 says, "As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about
all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught
you, you abide in Him." At just 15 years old Cortney read this verse in her bible and truly felt the Holy Spirit teaching her in many aspects of her life especially in photography. Over the years she continues to hold onto her deep faith in the Lord as the Holy Spirit continues to teach and equip her for everything she puts her hands to. This includes motherhood. Over the years, Cortney and her husband have adopted 10 children. Her children are just a small example of the love and passion Cortney has for people. Her passion for children and youth is extended into each photography session. Cortney's desire is to capture each person in such a way that it changes the way they see themselves. Her hope is to empower each person with confidence and love. To Cortney a business is not only a business. Cortney is a firm believer that even in a professional setting people need love and kindness. She believes in showing professionalism while understanding people are fighting their own unspoken battles and hardships. This is
Cortney's Family's Hands
why true kindness and unconditional love are so important and core values in Cortney both personally and professionally. Cortney wants everyone to feel loved and valued throughout their photographs regardless of religious beliefs and personal backgrounds. God's love extends to all. His love never leaves people the same. This type of powerful love is exactly what Capturing Hearts Photography wants to display with every photograph. Cortney hopes that throughout your photo session, wedding or gallery you see the love and care she has for you but more importantly her hope and prayer is that you feel the love of God in a real and new way. Capturing Hearts hopes to have opportunity to give you beautiful photos that make you feel so loved. Thank you for considering Capturing Hearts Photography.
