PHOTOGRAPHY BY
COURTNEY FRIDLEY HOWARD
Courtney Fridley Howard was born and raised in Alleghany County. She graduated summa cum laude from Emory & Henry College with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Theatre. Soon after college, Courtney moved to Los Angeles to study improv comedy and pursue acting in television and film. After a while she became homesick for the mountains and the people she loves and moved back to Alleghany County with the intention of starting fresh with her photography business. Having worked with many photographers for her own headshots and promotional materials she had started to gain a deep interest in the art and science of photography.
Now that Courtney is home, surrounded by the mountains and nature she missed so dearly, she loves to take her camera out and capture the beauty of the outdoors. She loves to show the depth and detail of flowers and plants, as well as the many man-made items that have been left out in the elements. Courtney also truly enjoys taking family portraits, working with children and adults to capture their candid smiles and laughter. She loves to shoot portraits outdoors surrounded by beautiful natural light where her clients can be comfortable and thoroughly enjoy their session.
