A North Canterbury photographer and mum of four. My passion for photography began with my own family, and it’s grown into a way to capture authentic, heartfelt moments for others.
To me, photography is about so much more than simply taking pictures, it’s about telling your unique story by capturing the raw emotions and connections that make your family special. I want you to feel the moment when you look back at your photos, not just see it.

"We’ve had multiple photoshoots with Courtney. What I love most (apart from her incredible eye for detail) is her ability to get young kids to cooperate and have fun! The photos I treasure most are the ones she came and took for us with our Mum who is unwell. Courtney handled the whole photoshoot with compassion, patience and kindness. The photos are all absolutely beautiful and we couldn’t be more pleased. Would 1000% recommend Courtney Walklin’s services and we will definitely be return customers many time"

I believe photography should feel effortless and honest. I’m not about stiff poses or awkward smiles, I want you to feel relaxed, seen and celebrated. Whether we're in your home or out in the hills, my goal is to capture genuine connection, quiet moments and the beauty of your everyday story.
Every session is led with care, intention, and a little bit of laughter because that’s when the magic happens.
