Hello, we are Charis Photography, based in Oklahoma City, specializing in capturing life's most precious moments through Fresh 48, newborn, and family photography sessions. Fresh 48 sessions are held within the first 12-36 hours of your baby's life, often in the hospital, focusing on those tender and emotional first moments, including siblings meeting the new baby and early family interactions. It's like creating a documentary of your baby's very first day!
Our newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your home during the first few weeks, preserving the essence of this magical time. We emphasize natural and relaxed moments that highlight the genuine love and connection of your growing family. Family sessions are designed to celebrate the joy and unique spirit of your family, whether at home or a cherished outdoor spot.
By focusing on authentic interactions rather than posed shots, we create timeless images that reflect your family's personality and bond. Our goal is to tell your family's story through meaningful, heartfelt images that will be cherished for generations. If you want to preserve these fleeting moments with a photographer who values authenticity and connection, we'd be honored to work with you. We can't wait to meet your family!

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 has captured my family multiple times and the pictures always make us look our best. We find a way to relax around her and the candid, true nature of our family is able to come out. The quick turnaround time is great and faster than others locally. And I've always loved them enough to buy a full gallery even for mini sessions.

Charis is the absolute best. If youre looking for a family friendly photographer who knows how to make you look your best- shes your girl. She knows how to wrangle children, make camera shy husbands feel comfortable, and she is a complete professional. She walks you through the process and makes it a totally painless experience. Hands down best family photo experience we have had!

Our family had a great experience with Charis Elisabeth Photography from the beginning to the end of the process. We did a holiday mini session at a great location she found that was just perfect. She prepared us for all the details ahead of timeboth verbally and in writing. The photos turned out beautiful and she got them to us in no time at all. We couldn't be happier!

Charis recently took pictures of my family for a lifestyle shoot. The photos are a treasure! She truly captured a moment in time. She put us all at ease and was wonderful with my children. Charis is very professional and her website for ordering, scheduling and payment were seamless. We look forward to more family photos in the future!

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.

Charis has an incredible gift of beautifully capturing precious moments in time. We invited her into our home to photograph our third baby's early days and not only do I appreciate that she took photos that were completely organic and candid but she also managed to somehow make us look our best. She took the mundane task of changing a diaper and turned it into an opportunity to remember my husband looking adoringly at our daughter, she saw our kids gleefully rolling around on the ground and in the click of her shutter captured the personalities of both of our older kids, she memorialized the types of things that are so common that we don't cherish them until those days have passed. I would recommend her skilled eye and calm demeanor to anyone without an ounce of hesitation. Thank you Charis!
