About Charrie
I've been obsessed with photography since I was old enough to hold a camera, point, and shoot.
I built my career around my passion for helping others. After earning my undergraduate degree from Purdue University, I went on to Indiana University School of Medicine to earn a Master of Public Health. I spent my 20s and early 30s in public health, epidemiology, nonprofit management, and Federal grant writing / fundraising.
In 2013, I decided to marry my passions for women's health and female empowerment by starting Belle Amie Photography, LLC (changed to Photog Boss Babe, LLC), originally focused on boudoir photography. Soon after, I discovered my talents for all types of photography and expanded my career to include weddings, engagement, families, maternity, newborn, events, and more! Since 2018, I've been a full-time lifestyle photographer, leaving behind the world of nonprofits to focus on my business. Entrepreneurship is in my soul and I'm truly excited every single day to get out of bed, shoot, style, edit, and consult with clients.
My photography style is a mix between photo journalism (capturing the moments candidly) and photo art (posed flawlessly for timeless portraits). My images are vibrant, bold, & true to life. And my personality is passionate, silly, and will definitely bring about genuine smiles.
My strength is drawn from my three handsome boys and super supportive husband. Each day is filled with hugs, homework, and humor. To me, family is EVERYTHING. Other than being a #photogmom, I also coach youth cheerleading, craft and write, watch hella Netflix (and chill with the hubs), and love attending concerts.
Planning your dream wedding?
Congrats on the engagement! You got a ring on it!! Since you’re on the search for one of the most important parts of your special day—let me help with some info.
I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings and have been a photographer for over a decade. I’m super fun, full of energy, and my photos are bomb! My brides describe me as the photog who get every shot, makes people laugh, and literally gets jiggy with it on the dance floor to get the best images.
My style is photojournalistic… capturing as many candid moments throughout the day while also posing the couple for artsy shots, families for timeless portraits, and flawlessly capturing the details of the day. My images are vibrant and true to life and all images are hand edited, high resolution, magazine quality, and included in my packages with print release. You’ll cherish them from the moment you get them and 50 years from now looking back at your special day.
On this site, you can peruse my wedding portfolio, book right online, sign the contract, fill out your questionnaire, and pay your deposit. But please, don't hesitate to contact me anytime so we can chat through your perfect day. We can tailor your wedding package to fit your needs and your budget.
Want to feel empowered through boudoir?
Boudoir photography is about empowerment. My goal is to help you see just how beautiful you are on the inside and out. Boudoir photography can be whatever you make it... silly, sassy, sultry, sexy, or steaming. It's not about the nudity (or implied nudity).
It's not about the amount of skin you show (or don't show). It's about capturing your heart and beauty with my lens in whatever style you want. I do have a home studio complete with bedroom set up as well as other props like a luxurious bathtub, feathers, and backdrops.
When we chat, we can discuss your vision and make your luxury experience absolutely perfect.
How long since your last Family Portrait Sesh?
Out of the thousand+ sessions I've had the honor of photographing in the last 10 years, almost half of them include families. Want to shoot downtown on the canal or monument circle? How about at a your favorite park or while duck pin bowling with the fam? Whether you want to snuggle in front of the studio backdrops or have an adventure in Central Indiana, I've got you covered. I guarantee genuine smiles, interactions, and images you'll cherish for years to come.
Don't miss out capturing that Baby Bump, mama.
As a mama of three amazing boys, I know the importance of documenting that beautiful baby bump! Don't miss out on these special images, mama. We can photograph with traditional outdoor or backdrop OR we can do more maternity boudoir style. We can photograph once toward the middle of your third trimester or we can do monthly bump-dates. And don't forget to schedule your newborn session for your new bundle of joy!
Calling all REALTORS®!
I started doing Real Estate photography almost 6 years ago as a very good friend entered the Real Estate world. She has since won several awards and was named Southside MIBOR's Realtor of the Year in 2022! I now work with 27 realtors and I work hard to get you the BEST real estate photos. Contact me and let's discuss being your EXCLUSIVE real estate photographer for a continuous $20 discount on all properties.
