For Photographers

From workshops to lightroom profiles, I truly love what I do and love to share that passion with other photography creatives.

I strive to create images to help people remember not just how beautiful they looked, but also how magical they felt.

As a Southern California native, I bring a laid-back vibe with me wherever I go—and I believe every great photo starts with putting people at ease. Over the last decade I have been photographing weddings all over the world balancing paying close attention to the details with aiming to capture the greater feeling of a moment. If you love authenticity and exploration as much as I do, let’s connect.

YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

GREAT NEWS.
We can help with that.

Whether you're brand new to photography or a seasoned pro that needs some fresh inspiration, I have coaching options for photographers of every level to help them build strong businesses.

FEELING STUCK OR IN A RUT IN YOUR BUSINESS?

CHARD Workshop

I’m so excited and honored to offer this workshop to aspiring photographers! I have been shooting full-time for over a decade. I have learned a lot and continue to learn every day! I definitely don’t know it ALL, but if you’d like to find out how I work, learn more about my natural-light style of photography, how I run my business, and/or ask me any questions that you want, then this might be the workshop for you!

This workshop in Orange County offers an all encompassing insight into my business. We'll cover all the main points you'd expect, you'll have the opportunity to photograph a real couple and we're even planning an in-depth editing session where I will show you how I edit to create consistent images and tones throughout every one of my shoots.

This workshop will cover: posing, marketing, social media, editing, workflow, pricing, client interaction and also show you how to TAKE CONTROL of your business!

I know what you're thinking... will there be an opportunity to shoot? And of course, the answer is yes! We'll be working with a real life couple for two shoots so we can really dive in to showing you how to work with the unexpected. Each day will run from 10am - 10pm, so make sure you eat a good breakfast!

"He isn't stingy about information, he really gives you all of his tips and tricks..."

He’s a master at posing couples so they are flattered and look natural. The whole day he was just open and willing to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend his workshop for anyone a few years into business who wants to serve their clients more thoughtfully and shoot more beautiful photos.
