About
I am a retired Green Beret who has decided to pursue with the same motivation and passion into photography as I did when I served. My style incorporates the model’s imagination in the creation of the image. Having them contribute their creativity towards the prefect digital image. This will help them visualize the prefect portrait in their minds. If you see the prefect image you can create the prefect image bringing out even more creativity. I want to create a truly enjoyable experience while making sure you are satisfied with your portraits. That is the goal.

We found out we would be saying goodbye to our 16 year old dog and Charles was so patient and understanding with my chaotic plan to get a final family portrait despite bad weather and low light. The photos are something I will treasure forever.

We had a great time with Charles!! He picked fun locations for us in Old Town and we had so much fun with him. The pictures turned out beautifully and the turnaround was so fast! Plus he worked with me on editing and making selections. Super easy to work with, very fast, and professional. Great experience!

Charles exceeded all our expectations as the photographer for our recent family reunion. His skill in capturing portraits on location was truly impressive, resulting in beautiful images that perfectly documented this important event for us.

What stood out most was Charles' accommodating nature. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable and looked their best in the photos. His professional demeanor put our entire family at ease, allowing for natural and genuine moments to be captured.

Not only is Charles talented behind the camera, but his rates are also very reasonable, offering excellent value for the high-quality service he provides. From start to finish, working with Charles was a pleasure.

I highly recommend Charles to anyone looking for a skilled, professional, and personable photographer for their special events. He has a true gift for preserving memories in a way that will be treasured for years to come.
