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.
Aside from actual listing photos, don't forget the importance of updated headshots for your business cards, flyers, billboards, and other marketing material. Branding yourself is key to exposure. We can set up a package for quarterly or biannual branding headshots that showcases your personality and helps you target market for your specialty.
Your Favorite Photog is Running for Office!
I've been part of the Greenwood community for most of my adult life, always engaging in ways to make it an awesome place to live, work, learn, and play. With nearly two decades experience in nonprofit management (having raised and managed millions in funding for our state), earning a graduate degree in public health and studying business management, and being a mom of three boys who thrive in our city's school system, I am your ideal candidate for at-large progress.
I understand the importance of public safety, economic development, and strengthening our community through action. That's why I'm running for this position. Together, we can continue to move the needle. We can work together as Democrats, Republicans, and everyone in between to make our continuously growing City as phenomenal as it can be with tactics that are on-time, on-budget, inclusive, and always with compassion.

40 Boss Babes in their 40s Passion Project
Are you a woman in your 40s and ready to shine in front of the Photog Boss Babe camera? 📸🤩4️⃣0️⃣👏🍒🎈❤️
I’m searching for 40 women in their 40s (by the time of your sesh) who would like to empower themselves through a quick photog session the Photog Boss Babe studio. On October 17th this year, I’ll be turning 40 and for my birthday, I want to start a conversation around the beauty of aging to change the way the world sees and hears us.
We are incredible, vibrant, strong beings and I want this project to scream that beauty from the rooftops. I want to showcase your beauty even if you haven’t seen it with your eyes or felt it in your soul in a while. I want to tell our stories and direct the dialogue in social media and how media in general defines us. Join me in this exciting exploration of mature women by participating in this project that will transform the way you feel in your own skin.
I need women at ALL levels of their lives, all ethnicities, all shapes and sizes, and all attitudes — to reshape the conversation and ensure women’s voices are heard and heeded. We will not be overlooked. We will not be ignored.
Your singular headshot will be featured on my website, blog, all my social media platforms and shared across many channels. You’ll also share on your feed mechanisms as well. You will be branded as one of the “40 Boss Babes in her 40s.”
Why should you do this? You’ll feel empowered. You’ll honor what makes you feel beautiful and unique. You’ll embrace every freckle, line, battle scar, and beautiful feature no matter your age, shape or size. You’ll share your story about what it means to be a mature woman in today’s society. You’ll stand in your own power with body-positivity, strength, and courage. You’ll help other women realize their potential by stepping out the shadows. You’ll learn to again love the reflection looking back at you. And finally, you’ll support the cause that ALL WOMEN ARE BOSS BABES.
The cost to be in the project is FREE. If you’re selected, you’ll you be invited to come to the Photog Boss Babe studio in Greenwood Indiana on your selected date and time. You’ll wear any black outfit that makes you feel amazing — that includes a dress, a suit, a ballgown, a casual real-life outfit, or a “sex in the city” getup. Just wear it to the studio and be ready to shine. You’ll spend about 10-15 minutes with Charrie as she poses you to showcase your best features and smile (this will NOT be boudoir). Then, the photo will be kept private until the big reveal on Charrie’s 40th birthday October 17, 2023. The image will be hand-edited to high resolution and perfected with Charrie’s artistic style and given to you to keep and share to commemorate this time in your life.
