Telling Your Story of Home Through Family & Newborn Photography
You are about to step into the season with so many moments that will make you go, “I wish I could hold onto this a bit longer.” The weight of that little one on your chest and those tiny little fingers that curled around yours.
From welcoming that new baby to the families in the thick of toddler years or chasing your kids to every activity, your ordinary days are worth documenting.
I can’t stop time but I can freeze it for you in relaxed and playfilled photo sessions. From planning and clothing guides, support before and after, all you have to do on session day is show up and enjoy your people.

Welcome! I’m Charis!
With years of photographing families and in the thick of raising 3 kids, I know how overwhelming it can feel in those early seasons. You don’t just need a gallery of pretty photos but also connection, support, and someone cheering you on.
And I’m not just here to be your OKC photographer. I love helping families find resources to thrive. Need a referral for a doula, a great birth class, or a fun local event to get out of the house with your kids? I’m happy to share what I’ve learned and who I trust.
I live rooted in Jesus, strong family ties, finding beauty in the little things and building community. I bring my experience and skills to serve as a lifestyle family and newborn photographer for new parents in Oklahoma City and Edmond and surrounding areas.

“Charis turned our messy, sleep-deprived day into a beautiful story of this season in our lives. The pictures weren’t just pretty – they felt like us. She turned what felt like a stressful day into a fun, memorable experience and I’m forever grateful for the memories she preserved.…”

Family and Newborn Photography FAQ’s
What Is An In-Home Photo Session?
An in-home session is a documentary style session in the comfort of your own home. These are ideal for newborn sessions or sessions with younger children. We’ll focus on family interactions on the couch or a bed as well as capture some fun time with toys or your family’s favorite activities. While I do offer both outdoor and indoor photo sessions, I specialize in the indoor, in-home family photos.
How Much Does an OKC Photo Session Cost?
My sessions start at $350 for short sessions and full documentary sessions start at $650. You can view all session rates and details on my rates page here. My rates include a pre-session consult, styling guides, your session time, professionally edited photos, and access to your full resolution digital photos in an online gallery. I also offer high quality albums, photo books & prints to make it easy for you.
When Should I Book My Photo Session?
There’s multiple reasons why scheduling a few months or weeks in advance is best to make sure you get the best spot but reach out and see what my availability is. For Newborn Photos, reach out mid way through your pregnancy! I take a limited amount of newborns each month and I would love to make sure I can serve you! I also offer maternity & newborn session packages. And all new baby clients get a special grow with me 1st year package offering.
Do I Get Digital Images from My Photo Session?
Yes! All my session packages include full resolution digital files from your session. You will receive these in an online gallery and be able to download them for your own use. I will give you a print release document as well as provide recommendations for the best places to get your photos printed.
What Areas Do You Provide Photography Services
I serve families in the metro Oklahoma City area which includes the areas of Edmond, Yukon, Midwest City, OKC, Moore, Norman, etc. I do travel further for an extra fee and am willing to offer all-day documentary adventure photo sessions in Oklahoma and Arkansas for families who love outdoor adventures.
Can my photos be kept private and offline?
Yes! In fact, I am one of the preferred Oklahoma City photographers for families that value digital privacy. You may choose to not have your images shared at all, only faceless or choose which ones I can share. Every family gets to choose what fits their boundaries and preferences best. When I do share I do not share names or tag families to keep details private.
