Timeless Storytelling for Sentimental Families

At Charis Photography, we are passionate about capturing the most meaningful moments of your life. Based in Oklahoma City, we specialize in Fresh 48, newborn, and family photography sessions. Fresh 48 sessions focus on the tender hours following your baby's birth, typically within 12-36 hours at the hospital. These sessions document the emotional firsts, such as siblings meeting the baby and those precious family introductions.

Our newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your home during the early weeks, providing a relaxed atmosphere to capture natural moments of love and connection. We aim to preserve the essence of your growing family in a setting filled with personal significance. Family sessions are all about celebrating the unique bond and joy of your family, whether at home or an outdoor location. By emphasizing authentic moments, we create images that reflect your family's true spirit.

Our storytelling approach ensures that each photograph holds emotional value, creating memories you will treasure for years to come. We would love to help you preserve these fleeting moments. Let us document your family's story with heartfelt images that you can cherish forever. We look forward to meeting you and being a part of your journey.

We are in love with our newborn pictures! Charis not only took some beautiful photos but she was also prompt, professional as well as personable. She was patient throughout the photoshoot, which was really nice since we have a newborn and we wanted to get some pictures with our fur babies. We are very impressed with her work!

Charis did such an amazing job with my photos. She made me so comfortable and got great shots of my son and I! I was so self conscious but she got perfect angles and I honestly didnt recognize myself.

Charis was amazing and so patient with my one year old daughter. She captured the most beautiful pics of my daughter and myself to celebrate our breastfeeding journey. Her use of natural light in our pics was wonderful. They are beautiful photos and I highly recommend her.

Charis did an amazing job at capturing our family's personality through photography. She worked well with the younger ones at getting them to smile. It was a laid back, relaxing session. When we left, the children mentioned how much fun they had. We would highly recommend Charis Elisabeth Photography.
