Hey there, I'm Courtney Rae!




Stay curious, love harder. That's always been my motto, and maybe it's why people tell me I've never met a stranger. When someone shares something that lights up their face, I get genuinely excited about it. I notice the small things. I listen.


When I'm not behind the camera, I'm in my jewelry studio, creating one-of-a-kind pieces. Witnessing someone put on a piece of jewelry that makes them feel like themselves gives me the same joy as witnessing an image that captures someone completely themselves, in their passion, their joy, their love.


Outside of my artistry, I enjoy exploring beautiful Northern California. You'll almost always find me with half-sweet coffee in hand, dancing barefoot to live music or simply being present with the people I love most.
