Iceland, 2017

Hello! My name is Charlie.

First, a little about me! I was born and raised in Wyoming and moved to Colorado in 2006 after a four year enlistment in the United States Navy. I am an outdoor enthusiast, spending as much time as I can photographing, camping, adventuring, and exploring around the mountains and the world with my wife, Ruth Ann.

In 2017, I started working for Lifetouch as a remote photographer. At Lifetouch, I specialized in photographing children from infant age to six year olds, capturing their personality and authentic smiles. In 2021, I was awarded 3rd place in Lifetouch’s National Competition “Every Day Hero” for my preschool images. I also create middle and high school sports portraits, spotlighting athletes and teams, around the Colorado Front Range. My experience as a working photographer with Lifetouch included photographing various age groups, portraits (studio and outdoor), teams, and all sizes of groups in various situations. I learned how to be a photographer with Lifetouch, how to communicate with people in-front of my camera, how to make people comfortable in-front of my camera and so much more.

In 2023, I made the transition to a full-time Freelance Photographer. I have continued to grow my photography business in event photography, weddings and family/senior photography. I currently work with All Digital Photo and Video and Christie’s Photographic Solutions photographing tons of weddings and corporate events around Colorado and North America. There is nothing quite like using a camera to capture all the big moments and small details to tell a story through my photos.

I am so excited you are interested in working with me! I love what I do - whether its wedding portraits in the mountains, a corporate events at a convention center, or senior pictures in the middle of the city - I love it! I hope to provide you with the pictures you want to put on your wall or that will take you back to that time when you said yes to the love of your life!
