FAMILY LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER
for the seekers of daily joy and adventure!

hey there!

I'M CHARLENE

Specializing in family lifestyle photography was a no-brainer because of my experience as a Registered Early Childhood Educator. My 15+ years of childcare experience and extensive knowledge of child development (including special needs) made going in this direction feel natural but also aligned with my other passion for supporting children. I adapt each session based on the kids' ages, ensuring that no matter if they are a toddler or teen, they'll enjoy the experience.

I always get told how comfortable my clients feel and how seamless my sessions are because I plan them according to each family's needs and interests, making it a fun experience for everyone.

I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING ANYTHING ELSE

I will be forever grateful to my children for helping me realize my passion for photography. Documenting our days sparked this creative path and made me want to share the gift of memory keeping with others. I only wish I had gotten in photos with them sooner! For years I missed the importance of including myself in their memory keeping. There are many Birthdays in their early years where you won't be able to find one single photo of me. I regret not making an effort to be apart of their historical collection sooner.
