Hi, I'm Charity! A chai-tea drinking, sunshine-loving, mama to one and photographer to friends all over the Chicagoland suburbs. With a love for people and community, my relational nature fuels my heart for serving clients with a deeply personal experience.

From Illinois to California and back, I've been creating portraits for the last 15 years. In time, I found that my most joyful place is up close and personal with the beautiful humans God created, telling your stories with light-filled emotion and joy. 

There's nothing I'd love more than the honor to know you and tell your story - and hopefully become a friend!

We have beautiful frames on our walls now in our new home. We decided to do work with her for the next year and beyond as our baby grows. I’m so glad she gets to capture all our future milestone moments as a new family!

The photos turned out perfect and she pulled out the best in us.

 She gave lots of direction about outfit choices, locations, and poses, which made the entire process a stress-free experience. We simply showed up and she did the rest. Each photo she showed us at the end was beautiful!

Charity made our session such a fun experience.

I was so excited to receive our stunning prints! Charity provides such a custom experience from start to finish. She met with us 1:1 to go through images and was able to produce beautiful prints that are now in our home. 

They brought me to tears!
