I'M CHARLOTTE
AT WHAT'S ON MY HEART
HERE'S A LITTLE LOOK
& THE ONES YOU KEEP REVISITING IN YOUR HEAD
FOR THE RAW, MESSY, FIERCE MOMENTS
WHO I AM
I am the (often barefoot) gal behind the lens telling the stories of all kinds of love! I think the world needs more Dolly Parton’s, there is usually a vinyl playing at our home (I’m a big Joni Mitchell gal), my idea of happiness is coffee + backroads or being cozied up on the couch with an episode of Architectural Digest or flipping through a Tom Ford coffee table book with my hubby and fur baby .. Loretta Lynn aka Retta/Roo/Angel Dog/Cooey/Scoobs/… the list goes on.. IF you have a dog at your wedding prepare for over 100 photos of just them. Let's start with that.
I practice mindfulness everyday through a solid morning routine before I pick up my phone consisting of; a glass of water in bed while stretching and setting intentions for the day, brushing my teeth and devoting time for skin care, journalling and manifesting goals, reading a chapter out of an inspiring book, playing with Retta outside, working out (I believe in sweating once a day) and meditation. Once I have these complete I am ready to start my work day. I am so passionate about this lifestyle that there might be something coming in the works In terms of education for my fellow creatives ; ) I spend my downtime with Retta and Steve doing projects around the house, relaxing or in the summer just spending time outside soaking up the sun near some water.

MORE LOVE NOTES
“From the moment I met Charlotte I knew she was going to be our photographer for life. She shot our first mini session at a beautiful apple orchard in her hometown. Weeks later the gallery popped up in my inbox and I loved every.single.photo. Not to mention, even my husband was asking “when are we getting pictures with Charlotte again?”
Over the years, Charlotte has documented our wedding, pregnancy announcement, maternity and self-love boudoir session. She even captured us over FaceTime during a pandemic, that is how dedicated this girl is to her work.
What I love about Char is how comfortable she makes us feel. Picture taking photos with a life long friend. When she shoots you can feel how excited she is and how much she loves what she does. I couldn’t think of anyone better to capture the most important milestones in our life. Thank you Char for all the beautiful memories, we love you and can’t wait for our first family photos!

LOVE THAT MAKES YOU FEEL SOMETHING.
At the end of every session I want you to leave saying “that was so much fucking fun”. I want to be able to create a space where I'm just the tag along on your date documenting your love story organically and honestly. When you feel comfortable I automatically get butterflies because I know the true magic of you connecting with your partner and forgetting I'm even there is about to happen. Then afterwards, being able to give you a tangible version of your love where you look at yourself and feel amazing by just simply being you; that's how I want you to feel, that is my ultimate goal. So let’s celebrate the hell out of YOU.

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
I am a MAJOR believer in the power of manifesting. I knew I wanted to find someone who supported, encouraged, and believed in me; I wanted them to celebrate me for who I am at the core. And I found him— Steve is just that. I believe he is my soulmate and knows me better than anyone. That’s why planning a wedding should NOT be a stressful experience, this is a day to celebrate finding someone to grow old with. This day should be all about the two of you and that only, so shut out every other opinion coming your way because they don’t matter. Whatever you want your day to look like, make is YOURS and you’ll rock it.
I love everything desert; the sun, the warmth, the vulnerability, the cactus’, the minimalism - so naturally this was our theme. Steve and his dad built out beautiful arbour that we said our vows under. We purchased eco friendly confetti to dance under as we made our way down the aisle and we did a first look which is a memory and moment I cherish everyday; I can still picture Steve turning around to see me when I close my eyes. I did a photoshoot with my baby dog Retta, we wrote our own vows, we passed out Champagne and did all our speeches in the sunshine at the end of our ceremony which was so emotional (I think because everyone was fully present in the moment). We also brought MANY MANY things from our home to surround us from house plants to rugs to macramé art, you name it. I went for an elegant vibe for my ceremony and an indie feel for the reception tossing on some boots and hat, we danced and had tequila as our signature drink; it was seriously the best day ever.
