My name is Charlie Olivia Grantham and I’m a photographer and writer living in Boston, MA.
✹
Outside of photography, my educational background is in sociology and public health. I will be graduating with a Master of Public Health this spring. Maternal and women’s health is one of my biggest passions and I enjoy conducting research focused on these topics.
I’ve been married to my spouse, Nate, for 7 fun-filled years.
My favorite musical artists are Taylor Swift, Elton John, Lizzy McAlpine, Fleetwood Mac, Harry Styles, and Tom Petty.
I have three pets (two dogs and a cat) - Daisy Jane, Frankie Valli, and Winston Bishop. Can you guess who they’re named after?
I’ve been vegan for almost 7 years now.
My favorite shows are Call the Midwife, The Handmaid’s Tale, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Gilmore Girls, and New Girl.
I’m originally from New Orleans and have been living in New England for about 3 years.
I’m a bookworm - my favorite genres are psychological thrillers, historical fiction, and contemporary literature.
I’m halfway through with writing my first novel, and have already started my second.
My favorite movies are Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Cinema Paradiso, Garden State, A Good Person, Into the Wild, Little Women (2019 version), Everything Everywhere All at Once, and Untamed Heart.
I’m a triple air sign - Libra Sun, Gemini Rising, and Aquarius Moon.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME:
MY APPROACH
I’ve always felt a fierce desire to create - no matter the medium. I tried to create a life without art once - forcing myself to become something I simply wasn’t. As a result, I made myself smaller, becoming a shell of who I once was until I almost lost myself completely. In my late 20s, I picked up my camera again and I promised myself to never put it down.
And so, I run my business with this at its core.
I am an artist. I am not a business woman. My main goal is not to make money. I do this because it is my passion. I do this because it brings me joy at the deepest level. I do this because I know how valuable photos that truly capture the moment are. Because I need to create in the same way that I need to breathe.
KIND WORDS
“CHARLIE HAS AN UNBELIEVABLE GIFT FOR CREATING A VISION AND THEN EXECUTING IT FLAWLESSLY, RESULTING IN PHOTOS THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! SHE MADE THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE SO MUCH FUN AND SO EFFORTLESS. I LOVED WORKING WITH HER AND WILL 100% DO SO AGAIN IN THE FUTURE - THE FACT THAT SHE TRAVELS MAKES IT EVEN BETTER!!”
