It’s really as simple (and beautiful) as that. I care deeply about ensuring that anyone in front of my camera feels comfortable, safe, and appreciated regardless of gender, sexuality, race, or body size. 

The love between two people and the love someone holds for themselves deserves to be celebrated and documented in a way that empowers them. This belief motivates me every time I take my camera out. I proudly work with LGBTQIA+ couples and individuals - and will happily modify our sessions to accommodate accessibility needs. 

Love is love, and all people deserve to feel it. 

Adventure, love, and travel are big themes in my life: I met my husband at a wedding I was shooting. He was the dashing best man, and my clients thought we’d hit it off: our first date was a trip to Thailand, and six years later we eloped in Switzerland! I aim to visit 30 countries before my 30th birthday and with 25 countries stamped in my passport - international travel is a huge part of my business and how I spend my time off. 

My dad used to host a dating radio show, and my name is a creative twist (thanks mom!) on my dad's radio name 'Charlie'. My youthful rebellion was a secret tattoo I got at 17, done stealthily on someone’s kitchen table, and poorly healed: discovered by my parents when I needed emergency surgery. I’ve always had a knack for business - and auditioned for Canada’s Got Talent at 13 because my dad’s friend promised me $100 for having the guts to sing for a panel of judges.

I’ve been working as a professional photographer for over ten years, but I remember how challenging it was when I first started out. I moved to a new city with big dreams, hoping to find industry friends, a mentor, or someone who could help show me the ropes. I reached out to dozens of photographers, and only one person was open to helping a newbie. I promised myself then to always be “that person”: I love helping other creatives find their footing in the industry, and often host workshops and retreats to help junior photographers build their skill set and portfolio. 

Everyone gets their start somewhere, and I’m happy to give you a seat at my table.
