About Us

Courtney Lively Photography is a Phoenix and Scottsdale Wedding, Family and Commercial Photographer specializing in capturing pure moments using expert methodology and artistic sensibility.

Meet Courtney

Thank you for visiting our company page. I’m Courtney, lead photographer and owner of Courtney Lively Photography. I’m a versatile photographer who is passionate about capturing raw moments and creating refreshingly unique and fun images. At the same time, I believe in taking quality photos that will withstand the test of time. I try not to ‘over-create’ as I’ve found the best moments are usually the ones that unfold all on their own. But with over 10 years of professional experience, you can count on me to confidently lead you through the process to ensure you receive images and an experience that will exceed your expectations.

First and foremost, however, my passion is fulfilling YOUR specific photography needs. The pictures I take aren’t about me, they’re about you. I look forward to working together with you to create a gallery of images that will meet all of your unique needs and wishes.

Fun Fact about Courtney: I played for the Arizona State University Division 1 Soccer Team for 4 years, plus 1 red shirt season after an ACL tear. I was a Scholar All-Region Athlete from 2003-2007 and the Team Captain for 2006 and 2007. I know a thing or two about hard work, accountability, dedication, and working together with a team towards something bigger than myself. Also, Go Sun Devils!

We love seeing our photography used for business promotion!

"If I could, I would have Courtney follow my family around so she could document all of our moments. We have had several family sessions and the pictures from each one are my most valued possessions. She is a joy to work with and makes you feel so comfortable, and she is AMAZING with kids. She makes sessions fun and it really doesn't feel like a photo shoot, it's more like hanging out with a friend. I always look forward to our sessions with Courtney."

"If you are looking for an amazing wedding photographer you would be blessed and fortunate if Courtney is available for you. She was the best decision we made for our whole wedding! The images were absolutely incredible. She was so professional and flexible with our needs, She captures all the right moments staged and candid. Went out of her way and above and beyond what we expected, to do an amazing job. Personally I would have paid double or even triple the prices for her quality of work. You will not regret choosing her."

“Courtney is without a doubt one of the best portrait, family and wedding photographers in Arizona. After researching several photographers, once we met Courtney and saw her work, she quickly became our first and only choice for our wedding photographer. Her attitude was amazing, her work impeccable and she was a consummate professional throughout the day. A wedding can certainly be a stressful day and somehow she managed to keep everything light and fun while keeping everything and everyone on schedule. There’s no question that we would recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a true professional photographer!”

“I have two words to use to describe Courtney and the camera: super awesome. Courtney has done many photo sessions for my family and the end results are always amazing. She has a great way of not being afraid/shy while taking pictures with little ones – she literally was on the ground making funny faces with our son Micaiah. She was also not afraid in directing us to get good shots. We were also very pleased with the quality of the pictures. The color pictures were vibrant and the black and white pictures had a soft, classic quality. Courtney is always accessible and responds quickly to any requests/questions. Courtney is great to work with and we would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a photographer. We have decided that we will be using her from now on for all our family shoots!”

“Courtney is an unbelievable photographer! Not only does she take amazing photos, but she has an uncanny ability to put the subjects at ease – adults, children and pets alike! We love both the casual candids and more formal photos she has taken of us. We continue to use her again, and again – pregnancy shots, baby pics and even important family events! I highly recommend Courtney Lively Photography!”
