Show the world your best self

Your dating life deserves the same care: 

You invest in your career, your health, the way you present yourself professionally. Your dating life deserves the same care — it's the part of your life most likely to determine your happiness, and the part most people leave to chance.

We start unhurried. We meet, we talk, we get to know each other a little — much like a date. That ease is the whole secret: you can't look relaxed and yourself in front of a camera unless you actually are, and getting you there is my job.

After 25 years behind a camera, I know how to get the best out of anyone, even people who are sure they photograph badly. My aim is simple: photos that feel like a friend caught you on a good day and you happen to look amazing.

A session is a focused morning — two to two-and-a-half hours, just you and me. We'll move through about seven looks across indoor and outdoor settings, and I'll fold in a portrait you can use professionally plus my read on how your profile's landing. You leave with everything you need, from one sitting.

How it works

I photograph in New York and San Francisco on a limited schedule each year. Tell me your city and a little about what you're looking for. If there's a window that works, I'll be in touch with the details — and if not, I'll let you know when I'm next near you.

POST SESSION:

A week after your session, you will receive a Dropbox link with 4 folders: 

  1. The complete shoot

  2. An edit of the shoot - Charlie will sort through the 800-1500 photos and select the ones that best showcased you. 

  3. A duplicate of the edit, FILTERED - each section of will be processed through a unique set of filters, correcting for color, contrast to enhance the photos and also to give the appearance the photos are taken at different times. 

  4. Top selects - the best of the best! 

Through the post-production process, your session now comprises of great portraits and 3/4 shots that are great for online dating, social media profile, professional profiles and etc. Our online presence and presentation matters more and more, invest in how the world sees you.
