The Experience
It's about the right-now moments of real life - your story frozen in time and joyfully preserved so it can be cherished in the seasons ahead. My goal as a photographer is to honor this time, and to make sure you can enjoy it fully.
My approach is one that puts the power in your hands to communicate your vision and choose the images you cherish the most; and puts the responsibility on my shoulders to get them into your home with the highest of care and quality.
Not just a luxury
It's your legacy

I felt extremely comfortable with her and loved that she suggested different poses for me. Loved my experience and the photos I received were insanely good! It was an 11/10 experience and would HIGHLY recommend!
Charity is so much fun to work with! She’s great at posing and catching gorgeous lighting. She helped me create one of a kind [photos] and I hope to continue working with her!
Charity provides such a custom experience from start to finish and did such a wonderful job. She met with us 1:1 to go through images and was able to produce beautiful prints that are now in our home. I highly recommend her!

What if i'm awkward and not great in front of the camera?
The best location is the one that is meaningful, fits your vision and aesthetic, or brings you joy. We cover this in our planning stage to find the perfect spot!
what locations do you recommend for a session?
Currently I work with clients around my local area in Aurora, Naperville, and surrounding cities in the western Chicago suburbs.
Do you travel or do destination shoots?
After the initial session fee, images are purchased in bundles that include prints + digitals. There's no limit to how many you can choose!
Will i get all of the digital images with my session?
Choosing the perfect outfit for your photo session can be stressful. That's why every client gets a detailed style guide + personalized guidance from me.
Do you help advise on outfits and styling?
I do! I hold seasonal mini sessions in the spring, fall, and winter. There are limited spaces and my email list has first access, so hop on it here to get first dibs!
do you offer mini sessions throughout the year?
