Charla felt that she had a skewed image of herself and wanted to boost her confidence. So, she came up with the idea of getting glammed up and doing a solo photoshoot featuring things she loved. We started by picking up a bouquet from a local shop and then visited a nearby coffee shop for her favorite drink. She danced around in front of a local bookstore, and we wrapped up the shoot in downtown Reno by the arch. Our theme was a day-in-the-life-in-the-city vibe but romanticize everything about it. The atmosphere truly felt like I was documenting a scene from a movie, with Charla as the captivating main character.

A fun fact about Charla is that she is also a photographer! She is currently in the early stages of launching her own portrait and wedding photography business. With shoots already lined up and plans to second shoot weddings later this year, Charla is confidently pursuing her dream. Equipped with a newly invested camera and a determination to build her portfolio, her remarkable work is definitely worth keeping an eye out for.

"I am extremely shy and stiff in photos, and you made me feel so comfortable and not ashamed that I just booked a photoshoot for no special occasion which helped me embrace the moment and images we were creating.”

During the photoshoot, I didn't see any trace of shyness or stiffness in Charla. She effortlessly embraced the camera, radiating natural confidence and enthusiasm, bringing the shoot to life in the most extraordinary way.

I found myself irresistibly drawn to Charla's captivating vision, and I marveled at how effortlessly it came to life. As someone who doesn't typically take on many photoshoots (since I focus on mostly events), witnessing the magic of this experience left me inspired and eager to embrace more opportunities. It ignited my imagination, encouraging me to push the boundaries of my creativity and craft visionary concepts.
