I Grew up in Milwaukee cheering for the Brewers, the Bucks, and the Packers (GPG!) so I know the importance of getting a good value in every single thing we do, I also grew up with the understanding that investing in an experience is for more important than investing in a product. I bring this mindset with me on every single session working with a client. I will never deny to anyone that photography is a luxury, not a necessity so that’s why my sessions aren’t designed to bleed your wallet and your bank account dry, they are however designed to provide an incredible experience at a great value that you’ll be proud to invest in.

So that’s it, that’s my little pitch to you and if you’ve read this far I would love to speak with you in person and design a session specifically for you. After all you deserve to see yourself represented in a great image.

A GREAT PORTRAIT

EVERYONE DESERVES

Let me be the first to tell you that photography isn’t a necessity in life, it’s a luxury item, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a great photo of yourself or the special people in your life to look back on. Photography shouldn’t be reserved just for the wealthy and people who have money to spend.

"EVERYONE DESERVES A

GREAT PORTRAIT”

When I say

I mean it.

My sessions are designed to give you a great product and an incredible experience that will 100% accurately reflect who you are at a price that every one can smile at! (see what I did there, that’s a photography pun… yeah I’m a dad joke enthusiast).

Professional Looks

 To get you noticed

In today’s busy world image is everything! Did you know most potential clients these days make decisions on who to hire based off looks and images alone? How about employers? They want to hire someone who will provide a professional look for their company. It’s no longer enough to provide quality service and get the best numbers. You need to play the part as well present a professional image to your clients, customers, and employers that conveys respect and professionalism.

QUALITY HEADSHOTS

Everyone knows the old saying “You have to spend money to make money.” While that’s true you shouldn’t have to empty your bank account just to make a living. I work just as hard as everyone else to keep my family rolling in the riches… ok maybe not rolling in the riches, but comfortable and I hate it when someone comes in and sees me as a blank check. I treat my clients the exact same way. Headshots and lifestyle photos can easily break the bank, but not at Charlie James Photography. I’m here to help you make a small investment to better your career!

That wont break the bank

Couples Portraits

 That mean more

Oh cool… another photo of a happy couple standing in a wide open field at sunset. How fun, how beautiful,
how… boring?
How many times can we see the same photos of happy couples with warm tones and washed out colors at sunset and think to ourselves “this is perfection?” Those photos are’t real. Where’s the passion? Where’s the heat?

REAL MOMENTS

REAL PASSION

Charlie James photo doesn’t stage your couples photo, why would we want to build something that doesn’t reflect who you are as a team? Your studio session is 100% private and discreet so you can be free and comfortable to let your selves be who you are together. Hot and steamy, intimate or maybe you just want to spend time together we’ll be sure to capture images, moments and an experience that you’ll never forget!
