YOU
DESERVE
A GREAT
PORTRAIT

A great portrait can inspire confidence, improve mental health, and bring back powerful memories.

UNAPOLOGETICALLY

CHOOSE YOU

When’s the last time you treated yourself to something special? When’s the last time you did something for yourself?

Think about it, everywhere you look people are wanting more and more from you. At work your boss is asking you to stay later and drive more results. At home the kids are wanting more and more attention, while your partner wants you to do more around the house. Life is stressful and everyone wants you to find another piece of the pie to give them and you begrudgingly agree to it every time. I get it, that’s a part of life, but when is the last time you did something for yourself that made you happy?

When is the last time you went out and did something for yourself? When’s the last time you put on make up and got your hair done? When’s the last time you felt sexy just because you wanted to? When is the last time you felt alive and confident in yourself?

Booking a premium portrait session with Charlie James Photo will give you all of that and then some. The images we’re going to make together are more than just cute pictures to put on your instagram, They are an experience that you have to feel!
