I Forgot to Brag About My Cover Shoot

CC Photo Arts is a one woman show, Courtney Conk. And too many times I forget to brag about all the work I do. I shoot all day, edit and retouch all night, and then forgot to show off my skills socially.

So here it is, my cover and spread shoot for Bake Magazine. I really enjoy working with them, and have a few times thrown out the idea that I WILL travel :)

Wild Christmas Photos Sneak Preview

I had so much fun with the Dittmer Family Portrait Session Sunday that at the end we had to do a badass metal band photo. Still deciding their joke band name cuz The Dittmer Family seems too tame. 

Snowy Adventures

It was a slow week in Real Estate Photography this week but I still had fun and had some snowy park adventures!

Oh, Did I Mention I Photographed the Only Castle In Minnesota?

After a rough week at the Mayo Clinic with my best friend, I came back to Minneapolis to photograph this fabulous castle for the Sparr Real Estate Group and Planomatic. I really do love my job!

So many social platforms, so little time.

I have been trying to keep up with all the social medias, and sometimes my blog suffers. I am a visual artist, not the best writer. One of my friends once told me I write like I am trying to butcher the language. I just like to keep things short.

So make sure to follow me on Instagram!

Do These Images Make the Cables Look Sexy?

I have been keeping warm this winter working in the studio with some fun product shoots and projects.

Do these images make those cables look sexy? 

Oh yeh!

Snowy Scenics

It was an hour drive up North to Taylor Falls on a snowy afternoon to photograph todays' property. Average speed was 40mph and the snow drifts were up to my knees. Definitely charging an extra mileage fee. But the scene was so blue and serene.

A New Year Means It's Headshot Season

With the New Year everyone starts thinking about their future, whether it's a new job, a new opportunity,a new hobby, or even renewing old portraits. And as you are looking for fun things to do this winter, my studio is large, sunny, warm and cozy. I am ready to work with you and create unique portraits for your business, job, dating profile or just for fun!

HAPPY 2017!!!!

Between vacation and work, I was in 5 different states for the last two weeks of 2016. Denver, Chicago, Raleigh, Richmond, and then back to Minneapolis. After 6 flights and 5 different climates, I ended up spending New Years Eve sick in bed coughing with a fever. I am so relieved to be healed and ready to take on 2017 with a new immune system!


I would like to share my hope for 2017: To all my friends, family and clients- May there be much love in your life this year!! And please make sure to tell those around you that they are appreciated.

Happy 2017!
