About the photographer
As a mother myself, I know how the parts of life we value the most seem to fly by in an instant. My mission is to capture the love you share, the daily expressions of joy, and the beauty of the ordinary in a soulful and timeless way.
My Story
Hello,
I’m Courtney Skipworth a devoted wife, mother, and the woman behind the camera at C. Skip Photography.
​
In 2006 I received a Bachelors Of Science in Health from the University of North Florida in Jacksonville Fl. A few years later I decided I needed more of a challenge from life and joined the United States Navy. I’ve spent the past 10 years serving our country first as an Information Systems Technologist and more recently as a Nurse. I received my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from Hampton University and my first tour as a nurse I was assigned to the post partum unit at Portsmouth Naval Hospital. This began my love affair with all things newborn and what some call the fourth trimester.
​
I later went on to become a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist with aspirations of eventually becoming a lactation consultant. C. Skip Photography affords me the opportunity to continue serve those in and around the “fourth trimester” and marries my passion for newborns and my love for photography. It allows me to do what I love and help others in the process. While growing up I remember my father saying “when you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life”.
​
It took me awhile to find it but I now understand the meaning behind that saying. Allow me to assist in capturing the fleeting moments of newborn innocence and help your learn to love and appreciate the fourth trimester as much as I do.
