About the photographer

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

First, I'd love to start by saying I'm so honored and excited that you are here. My name is Courtney Backs. I started my photography business before I got married, which is why my business name is Courtney Shockley Photo. I live in the Kansas City area, and primarily shoot engagements, weddings, and elopements. I love traveling, hiking, being adventurous, and absolutely love meeting new friends. I love being creative and being able to show that through my photography work.

One of the most important things to me as a photographer is building a relationship with my clients. I believe being a photographer is more than just business. It's being able to relate to my clients in a way that I can then create their stories through images.

READY TO MEET + BOOK? LET'S CHAT! >

I already want to be your friend. If life isn’t meant for connection and relationships then I don’t want any part of it. I crave depth, real talk, traveling beyond my comfort and living outside of boundaries. Hiring me as your photographer is more than just the beautiful images. These are moments that you'll cherish until the end of time. My purpose is not only to capture those beautiful moments but preserve the feeling you felt in that moment, right then.

Your moments mean something to me. I vow to you to always capture you for who you are.
