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!

Meet Charity

portrait photographer in aurora, naperville, oswego, and west chicago suburbs

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.

Charity offers style guides, works to find the perfect location, does a photo reveal, and offers quality products for your prints that are hard to find elsewhere. On top of that, she’s such a joy to work with and is so much fun!

Her whole process is unlike other photographers I've worked with - in the best way!

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!
