We are Charis Photography, based in Oklahoma City, and we specialize in celebrating life’s precious milestones through Fresh 48, newborn, and family photography. Fresh 48 sessions take place within the first 12-36 hours after your baby’s birth, typically in the hospital, and capture the raw and emotional moments of your baby’s earliest hours. From siblings meeting for the first time to tender family moments, these sessions feel like a keepsake documentary of day one.
Newborn sessions are held in the comfort of your home during the first few weeks, focusing on natural, heartfelt moments that celebrate the love and connection of your growing family. Our family sessions are designed to capture the joy and unique bond that make your family special. Whether at home or a favorite outdoor location, we emphasize real interactions over posed shots to create timeless, meaningful images.
Our passion is to tell your family’s story through images that reflect authenticity and emotion. We are dedicated to creating memories that you will treasure forever. If you are ready to document your family’s journey, we would love to work with you. Meeting your family and capturing your story brings us so much joy.

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.

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!

We've used Charis Elisabeth for several family and new-born shots. She's a delightful person to work with, and her creative instincts are sure to deliver a pleasing final result. Something we really enjoy is how well she works with our children and their many and varied emotions throughout what feels to them as the unnecessary rigmarole of a photo session.
She's professional and flexible as well. She'll deliver the final pictures online or through physical media, which is fantastic for integrating into photo book projects, family update postcards, and other photo projects. We honestly wish we could take her with us anywhere in the world we travel. If we had a choice, we'd always hire Charis for photography. I've you're considering hiring Charis for a photography session, just do it!

We were so thrilled with the way Charis captured our family! She was incredibly professional and highly responsive while we were planning our in home lifestyle session. She made it so easy for us since she worked with our schedule and was flexible with her time. Charis also made us feel completely at ease with her very calm and sweet demeanor. She went the extra mile to capture so many beautiful and personal images of our family that we will cherish forever!
