Charisse knows that photographing children requires being in the moment. She is quietly observant, surprisingly relaxed and, above all, quick to follow both the child and the light.
Charisse’s style is best summed up by the word, “fun.” Her uplifting energy and good nature brings out the best in your family.
With the eye of an experienced photographer, and the heart of an attentive mother, Charisse brings the spirit of your children and family into print.
Charisse and her husband David live in Rowayton, CT with their three boys who remind them everyday how much fun it is to be a kid.
