"Charis has been incredible documenting our sweet toddler.
We have done at at home session and a mini session in the park. She is so patient, great with kids, and really gets candid photos that will serve as lasting memories. I couldn’t recommend her more!" - E.P. Norman At Home Family Photo Session
Lifestyle Family and Newborn Photography Means:
Natural. Joyfilled. Timeless.
"Charis was such a fun, relaxed newborn photographer and is so good at what she does! Our session was on a super cloudy day and we were sleep deprived and our toddler wasn’t in the mood for photos—but Charis gently charmed him into cooperating and made it so fun for all of us. And the toddler been asking about Charis ever since. 😊 Despite the gloom, she worked her magic and produced gorgeous bright airy photos that capture this stage of our lives perfectly.
We absolutely love the memories she captured for our little family!"
