Introduction
I don't just pride myself on the high quality of my work and images - but even more so, it's the high quality of service and work ethic that I offer that I've found my clients really value. My clients are investing their hard earned money into my services and I do not take that lightly. I show up with a smile and a personality that puts people at ease to where the shoot becomes more than simply a shoot but more so an experience. I'm interested in learning what my clients want and how I can best serve their vision and needs. I believe anyone who owns a business must use their heads, of course, but to really succeed - you have to use your heart as well. I enjoy seeing my client's faces light up when I show them their images DURING the shoot (and of course, after when they receive their final images). It puts them at even more ease and ensures their vision is being captured to their expectations. Getting an email or phone call about how over the moon people are over their photos gives me a great sense of joy. Photos last forever and I always keep that in the forefront of my mind when capturing images. I also enjoy the experience of getting to know my clients a bit. Whether it's learning the love story behind a woman and her soon to be husband's journey during their engagement shoot or talking about the industry with an actor as we capture their headshots, it's always nice to have work be more than just work. I've made quite a few friends over the years simply because we shot and had such great conversations during our shoot.

Charles is an amazing professional. He did both the engagement photo shoot and the wedding of my wife and I. I met him for the first time when he shot our engagement pictures. His calming presence immediately put me at ease. Not only did he choose a wonderful location and setting for the photo shoot, but he also came up with creative and thoughtful ideas for poses. My wife and I felt like superstars under the direction of a super photographer. It was way more fun than I could've imagined. Amazingly, Charles outdid himself 6 months later when he shot our wedding. We have friends who still rave about the pictures to this day. Charles has a keen eye for capturing the essence of an event, and the magical timing for being at the right place at the right time to capture those unforgettable moments. I truly can't say enough about his work. I would recommend him to the Obama's if they were looking for a photographer. On top of all his skill, he's an awesome human being with a great sense of humor, a dope husband to a beautiful wife and a dotting father to an adorable baby girl. Book Charles today and, like me, you will be raving about his work to everyone you know. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Are you trying to make me tear up?! LOL - My man! Thanks so much for the kind words. Capturing your engagement was special and your wedding day? Nothing short of a blessing. I was so honored to spend the day with you two and all that love that has surrounded and cultivated two phenomenal people. I look forward to seeing all the wonderful thing God has in store for you because it's SO much. Thanks for bringing me on - you and wifey are salt of the earth.

Charles is so easy to work with he makes everything such a breeze. Just ask and you shall receive! I never heard of thumbtack. I randomly found it while searching for a face painter and then I came across "photographer" section & thought.. hey I need one! Never did I think I'd find someone like Charles for such a reasonable price! He captured my son's 1st birthday beautifully from beginning to end. I knew the party was great but I didn't realize how much fun everyone had till I saw the candids that were captured. Definitely Kodak moments! I was all over the place, so I'm really glad he pulled me to the side & asked my husband, son, and I to take some photos of just us 3 in the natural lighting outside. It was nice to step away from the crowd for just a minute to have our moment. I'm so glad I hired Charles because I was too busy entertaining guests and running around that I did not take any photos myself. He also took photos of the desserts, centerpieces, and other little details I didn't even have to ask. Exactly what I want out of a photographer. On top of all that he sent me all my photos so fast!! I don't know about you, but I get anxious waiting even just a week. He sent me my photos 4 days after the party! I promise you won't be disappointed if you hire Charles because I will definitely be hiring him again for future events!

Thanks for hiring me and again, thank you for such kind words. It means a lot!

Charles made us feel so comfortable and relaxed! We had a beach wedding, just the bride and groom. Although there were people all around us, Charles made them invisible in our minds. He laughed, he joked and had fun with us! I am from Texas, I found Charles through Thumbtack and I am so pleased!! The photography is amazing and he takes so many pictures at different angles and has so many different poses. I am so glad I found him and would highly recommend him to anyone!

I wish that there were more than 5 stars to rate Charles! He was honestly the most efficient, thoughtful, and talented professional I have ever worked with. His photos are breathtakingly beautiful and unique. But more than that, he is an absolute joy to work with and is able to direct the photography efficiently while still making it fun and upbeat. He is also super flexible and quick thinking, and adjusted immediately to problems that came up during my event so the whole thing was effortless and memorable, and beautifully captured on film. I cannot recommend him highly enough. A HUGE thank you to Charles for helping to make my wedding amazing!

Casey! What a beautiful and thoughtful review by such a thoughtful and kind-hearted person. I really loved shooting your wedding day. Literally every-single-second was a joy to be a part of. Your family and friends were/are fantastic, sweet-hearted people and all the other vendors were such a joy to work with. Truly - your fingerprints were all over that wedding day and I am more than sure everybody there could feel the genuine amount of love and down-to-earth-ness that vibrated all throughout the ceremony and reception. I truly will always remember this wedding day and will always have glowing things to say about you and your husband. Thanks again for the kind words and more importantly, for being the awesome person you are.
