Michigan Portrait
Photographer
Hi, I’m Courtney!
A Michigan photographer and I would love the opportunity to create a custum portrait experience for you. As a wife and mom of three, I am firm believer that the most important moments in life deserve to be remembered, not rushed.
I spent over 20 years helping people feel confident in my salon chair, and now I bring that same calming, creative energy behind the camera—capturing the real, meaningful moments that make your story yours.
I am not based in one specific town. Living right in the middle of Michigan allows me to be 2 hours or less from anywhere in the mitten, however: I consider myself a traveling photographer and always excited to travel further! . I'm always scouting new unique locations for my seniors and families.
I’m here to make this experience feel easy, relaxed, and actually fun. You don’t need to know how to pose or be a model—just come as you are, and I’ll take care of the rest.
I’m a little awkward, a lot genuine, and I lead every session with warmth, laughter, and a deep respect for the season you’re in. I want you to walk away with photos you love—but even more, I want you to remember how you felt in that moment. So if you’re looking for someone who will treat this milestone like it truly matters… you’re in the right place. I can’t wait to meet you.
Creating timeless, heartfelt portraits that capture real emotion—so years from now, you don’t just see your memories, you feel them.
With a classic, natural, and vibrant style, your images are made to be treasured for a lifetime.

What CBP Clients Are Saying
"I can’t recommend Courtney Bradley Photography enough! She recently took my daughter’s senior photos and captured everything we hoped for—and more. Courtney was patient, detail-oriented, and truly listened to my daughter’s vision. She was incredibly accommodating and brought her own creative ideas to the session as well. The results were beautiful and meaningful. We’ll definitely be returning with our other kids when it’s their turn!"
