We had such an amazing experience with Char! Her patience, kindness, and ability to keep little ones engaged made the entire session stress-free and actually fun. You can tell Char is incredibly family-oriented and genuinely cares about capturing authentic moments, not just posed photos. She was wonderful with the children, making them laugh and bringing out their personalities, which really shines through in every picture. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and we’ll treasure them for years to come.

Details: Family or children's portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • My home, venue, etc.

Char is super easy to work with! From the second I messaged her she was engaging and flexible, even giving me a no- hassle reschedule of an outdoor family photo shoot due to rain and weather. She also sent me some of the photos right after the shoot so I could get prints for a birthday present. Phenomenal profession and overall great person!

Char was easy to work with and had some good ideas for photos we hadn't thought of. She was willing to work with us on short notice and the photos turned out great!
