Behind the table are three tall, black-framed windows showing greenery and outdoor scenery. A modern, abstract white ceiling light hangs from the ceiling. The floor has a beige and light gray checkered rug.

hey, I’m Charity

hello i’m awesome

if there’s ever been one thing I’ve always known about myself, it’s that I’m an artist. I fell in love with photography in 2007 when I got my first DSLR (Nikon D40) and have been chasing those magical, dreamy shots ever since.

In between all that and now, I studied illustration and really immersed myself in the art of composition and using design principles to create narrative imagery that captures both mood and story. Today, I find deep satisfaction in using those skills to document the special, fleeting moments of life that we so greatly cherish.

I am passionate about creating a safe, inclusive space for everyone while capturing their authentic, inner self. As a goth, alt-coded queer person, I am here for everything quirky, unexpected, dark, and moody.

If you’re looking for LGBTQ wedding photography, engagement pics, couples, portrait, boudoir and intimate moments, something bold or something quiet, I will travel to anywhere in the world to capture your special day and bring your vision to life.

I am so excited to meet you and tell your true story 🖤
