Introduction: ***COVID-19 UPDATE: I am open for business and continue to be extremely respectful of photographing clients by sticking to 'social distancing' practises and photographing with face masks. During these crazy COVID-19 times, Im offering a 15% discount on any Graduation/Outdoor Portrait sessions (offer valid until 30 June 2020) YOU should hire me if: 1. Authenticity is important to you- 'Authenticity' has been on my mind a lot lately. In this age of mobile phones and social media, there is so much pretending that it can feel like nothing is real anymore. I've been sitting with this feeling for some time and spent most of my efforts in 2019 trying to capture those authentic, highly spontaneous and genuine moments that focus on faithfully documenting your wedding day. YOU should hire me if: 2. Wedding Packages won't break the bank: Im proud to offer award-winning services that won't break the bank, with packages that strive to capture couples in an unobtrusive and contemporary fashion. Couples can 'Design their own packages' with services that include engagement, trash the dress and wedding portrait shoots. YOU should hire me if: 3. Experience /variety are important to you - I have experience photographing a variety of religions and non-traditional weddings including Hindu, Indian, Greek, Zulu, Xhosa, Jewish, same-sex couples and have shot destination weddings around the globe including England, France, USA, Germany, South Africa, and Ireland. YOU should hire me if: 4. High-octane energy is important to you - Thanks to my high octane energy levels and my ability to put you at ease, my greatest asset, and most consistent feedback in wedding reviews are my energy levels and how they helped couples to enjoy and love the process of being photographed on wedding day. YOU should hire me if: 5. Speed and timing is important to you - one area where I continue to impressive clients is with my rapid 'response time' with emails as well delivery time of your wedding day digital files (between 1-2 weeks) on average. YOU should hire me if: 6. You are lookin for a solo photographer - I'm a specialist photographer, working alone (no second shooters, no videography services offered) in a highly mobile and agile manner, which minimizes the physical impact of me on your wedding day

Charnell was so so amazing to work with! Me & my mom are both pretty camera-shy, but Charnell put us at ease right away and made posing for pictures SO easy. She's also just an incredible photographer––she has such an amazing understanding of color theory and composition. We are so impressed!!

Details: Family or children's portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • I'm flexible • Digital or online download • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Charnell was great to work with; she had lots of good ideas for my family photo shoot and directed the session really well. She was also a lot of fun and we had a good time during the session. I also really liked getting so many photos to choose from!

Charnell did a fantastic job with our wedding! All of our guests loved her warm fun loving and enthusiastic personality. She was very professional and easy to work with and the pictures turned out incredible. I am highly recommending her to anyone who needs a photographer for any special event. She did such a great job that we're hiring her for another event this coming spring.

Charnell did a great job with our family photos. She understood my vision and delivered a wonderful set of family photos and memories we will have forever. She did a wonderful job with my toddler son who has a short attention span. We have some wonderful photos of him. I would definitely use her again!

Charnell Timms Photography's reply
Thanks for the thumbs up Nikki and truly happy that I managed to keep your son's attention span in the 'smiley zone' for as long as needed to get some dynamic and 'passionately playful' portraits too. It was a pleasure working with your family. Long live your smiles. Cheers Charnell
