I’M AN ARTIST, NOT A BUSINESS WOMAN.

I DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

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.

The Process

01 / CONSULTATION

I offer 30-minute consultation calls for us to get to know each other and offer you a chance to ask questions about me and my process. Once you decide to work with me, I will set up a profile for you in my client portal and send you my contract.

02 / QUESTIONNAIRE

Combining both my artistry and research background, I have developed signature questionnaires to give me insight into who you are, what you love, and your story. Questionnaires are customized based on the selected service.

03 / MOOD BOARD

I then use your answers from the questionnaire to build a vision for the shoot by creating a custom mood board. I then share the mood board with you before the shoot to ensure it resonates with what you want and your vision.

04 / PHOTO SHOOT

During the shoot itself, I have a soft time limit and I don’t keep count of locations and outfits. It is important to me that we don’t feel pressured by arbitrary rules and limitations.

05 / GALLERY DELIVERY

After the photo shoot, I give as many final edited photos as I possibly can. Finally, I will send you your personalized mood board, which now features your photos from the shoot showing your vision come to life. 

  • I generally deliver wedding galleries within 6 to 8 weeks. All other sessions will be delivered within 2 to 4 weeks. You will receive a link to your online gallery to download your photos and share with family and friends.

  • Yes and yes! Clients are free to text and voice memo me with questions regarding location, outfits, makeup, etc. Helping clients pick out their outfits is one of my favorite things!

    I realize that most people aren’t super comfortable in front of a camera and I get it. Helping clients with posing is a major part of the service I provide. I take it as my responsibility to make you feel comfortable and relaxed so that I can capture your authentic self.

  • Yes! I love to travel and will travel for any type of session. Travels fees vary and are based on prices depending on location and the time of year. Please email me to receive a custom quote!

  • I do not deliver RAW photos. Post production is just of as an important part of the artistry process as the actual photo shoot, and I pride myself in delivering a fully finished product. However, I work hard to give as many final photos as I can. If you feel like something is missing, please let me know and I will do my best to address your concerns.

KIND WORDS

“WORKING WITH CHARLIE WAS UNLIKE ANY OTHER EXPERIENCE I’VE HAD. THE QUESTIONS IN THE QUESTIONNAIRE AND THE MOOD BOARD SHE MADE OF MY ANSWERS WAS ONE OF THE MOST PERSONAL THINGS I’VE EVER RECEIVED AND IT WAS EVEN MORE SPECIAL TO HAVE MY OWN PHOTOS PLACED IN THEM AFTER THE SHOOT. CHARLIE IS SUCH A NATURAL BOTH BEHIND THE CAMERA AND IN MAKING ME FEEL COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT WHILE WE WERE SHOOTING. I GENUINELY COULDN’T RECOMMEND WORKING WITH CHARLIE ENOUGH!!!!”
