Hello! I am Courtney Gardner and I am your photographer!

I have a Bachelors of Science with a concentration in Photography from the University of Southern Indiana!​ Not only am I a USI alumni I also am a Mater Dei High School alumni, class of ‘19! In high school I played tennis for 2 years and did Yearbook and Newspaper for 2.5 years! In college I managed the Art and Design Print Lab as a student worker and was apart of Photo Club as well! When I wasn’t working in the lab I was off making art and participating in art shows on campus (and off)!

​I am an Evansville native and staying close to home is most important with having such a large and close family! I am one of 14 grandkids (and that’s just my mom’s side!). I have always loved taking pictures, even I was taking photos on a disposable camera at my aunt’s wedding!

When I am not off running around taking senior pictures in the rain or family pictures on the farm, I am most definitely at home on the couch with a good book! I love music, and if you do too I always have a speaker on me for sessions. In high school I played tennis for 2 years and did Yearbook and Newspaper for 2.5 years!

Having a love for all sorts of photography, portraits are my first love! I specialize in Seniors, Family, Engagement, Dance, and more! I fell in love with doing engagements (and weddings soon!) when I found how important it is to capture that time you spend with your significant other before you are even married. I am happily dating my boyfriend of 6 years and I am so excited for the day he proposes, so I too can enjoy what you as my clients get to enjoy during their engagement session!

​With saying that, it is important to me that my client's are seen and expressed to their truest forms within my photos. Everyone deserves to be seen and be proud of who they are, and the way to capture this beauty is with photography.

Can't wait to work with you!
