Feel comfortable. Look confident. Be yourself.

I’m Charlene Taylor, founder of Charm Photography, portrait photographer, and visual storyteller based in El Dorado Hills, California.

The difference is in the details

Professional lighting, thoughtful posing, and flattering camera angles shape the way you look in a photograph. I pay attention to how light falls across your face, the position of your shoulders, and the small adjustments that make a pose feel natural.

​

You don’t need to arrive knowing what to do in front of the camera. I’ll offer clear direction, give you room to settle in, and work with you to find expressions that feel like you.

​

The result is a portrait that feels confident, personal, and beautifully crafted.

​

Images with a purpose.

​

For headshots and image branding, I begin with how you want to present yourself and where your images will be used. Together, we create portraits that support your professional presence while making room for your individuality.

​

For families, seniors, maternity, and personal portraits, I bring that same care to the people, relationships, and milestones you want to remember.

​

A storyteller in stills and motion.

​

My work also extends into producing, directing, cinematography, and editing. Whether I’m creating a single portrait or a video for a business, I look for the details that give a story its character and help people connect with it.

​

Let’s create something that feels like you.  If you’re ready for updated portraits or have a creative project in mind, I’d love to hear what you’re imagining.
