“The series of portraits that Charles created of our family are absolutely stunning! I almost cried when I first saw them. Charles really did a great job working with the kids, and the main family portrait of us on the beach is beyond words.”

“Charles is a delight to work with, and I felt that he really captured the dramatic and fantasy elements of my stage persona. He is a true artist!”

Entertainer -
We are delighted with the portraits of our children! Charles took the time to plan the portraits with us and even came to our house to scout locations and lighting before the photographic session.
We chose the “Painterly” style for the portrait of the girls, creating a stunning, “old world” quality.
We highly recommend Charles to families who want to preserve memories beautifully!

“We are so pleased with the series of portraits that Charles created for us! They really captured the family just as our children were beginning to head out into the big world, so they're very meaningful for us.
Charles photographed our family on our own property just as the sun was setting, in an area right outside our kitchen windows, the view that we all see and enjoy every day. I've always wanted to capture that particular light myself, and Charles did just that in our portraits.
We love the main family portrait - it will end up over our fireplace after all. How could it not?”
Maggie Bennington-Davis
M.D., Wilsonville, Oregon -
“We truly love the family portrait that Charles created for us.
We opted for the oil-on-canvas to match the interior of our new home - and the way that Charles embellished the original is simply amazing.
Sadly, it's even more special to us since we tragically lost Angus, our black lab. It reminds us of his wild doggie-love when we look at it.
Charles also did a wonderful job on the portraits of our children, capturing them just as silly and lovely as they are.
Aside from our family, we count these portraits among our most prized possessions.”
