I’m Charlie. I was first introduced to photography in 2015 on my first deployment. I spent 7 months in Kuwait. I served as a Flight Paramedic and have always had a love for Aviation. If you’ve been there, you know you have plenty of time to develop a new hobby. My friends overseas allowed me to practice portrait photography on them and it took off. In 2016, I went on another deployment to Afghanistan where I was given the role of Unit Photographer and Unit Historian. I took some neat photos and even got published in Army Aviation Association of America. Neat.

When I got home in 2017, I made an attempt at family, engagement, wedding photography. Turns out, I am not good at telling the homies how to pose. I spent the next five years piddling around with the camera, occasionally taking a cool photo. That same year I bought my first drone, the GoPro Karma.

In 2022 I made the choice to live a sober life and I found the motivation to reignite my passion for photography. While researching niches, I discovered Real Estate Photography. I immediately delved into the how-to’s on YouTube and sought guidance of others. I love this. That same year, I studied my buns off and obtained the FAA Part 107 certificate to fly commercially, legally.

Now, in 2023, I dedicate my photography skills to Real Estate and I have found a passion in this.

Check out this photo of myself, my drone, my helicopter, and my old Jeep. I think it’s neat.
