Custom Christmas cards are so cool! This year we only did a couple, frankly because we’re just not that good at it. Our priority has always been photography and retouching as it applies to photographs, not graphic design. However, the few custom cards we’ve done have been so well appreciated and received that we’d really...

We’re writing this from the busy metropolis of Moore, Oklahoma, tens of miles from home in Edmond. =) We’re chilling on the “South Side” today with Holly’s family who moved here from Edmond a few years ago so her brothers could live at home and go to OU. Most of you already know that Holly...
What a fun session we had with the Penix family! We started with the more formal, posed shots to get them out of the way so we could have some real fun! =) Their little boy was so cute! And we had great Fall colors that day, too. Such a playful guy! He was full...
Hey, everyone! Hope you are having a great Thanksgiving! Holly and Addie and I are visiting Hol’s parents in Moore and we’re just taking it easy for the most part. It’s a welcome break from the day-in, day-out hustle and bustle of work and just daily living. Hol decided to run out with her Mom...
The Groeschels are so sweet! We were honored to be asked again to take their family photos this year, along with a few new headshots for Craig to use as well. I have to say that our photos this year turned out much better than last year, which is always encouraging for us to see...
One thing Oklahoma has is beautiful sunsets and amazing skies almost every day. I grabbed our new little point and shoot Canon SD 800 and took this picture without any flash. The image stabilization of this little camera is really awesome for low-light pictures like this. Despite the slow shutter speed and my hand-holding the...
I love time-lapsed photography. You know, seeing flowers open, clouds race across the sky, birds hatch from eggs, tides rise and fall… Here’s something I don’t recall seeing before. Time-lapsed photography and retouching. This is really cool and a great message, too!

As we published earlier this year, we’ve moved to “the dark side” — Canon. =) It’s actually been a great move for us, despite the high financial cost to sell our Nikon equipment and buy an entire Canon setup. We were starting to do a lot more low-light photography and Canon’s sensors seem to do...
When I heard that the Edmond Chamber was interested in photographs of this fundraiser event, I jumped at the chance. The folks at the Chamber are great people to be around anyway, but combine the fun of photography with the thrill of gunpowder and you have a really great experience. =) “Sporting Clays” was a...
Hey, just a quick note that we’re working on the problem with some of our older blog images not loading. Stay tuned… should have it fixed in a day or two. … All Photos © Christian Sangree, Prints Charming Photography
If you’re from Oklahoma, you need not be told that some of the most impressive homes around are in Nichols Hills. My friends at the Mercy Hospital Foundation asked if I would join them and photograph a special fundraiser to be held at a home in Nichols Hills for a cancer center. I’m a bit...
One thing I’ve noticed that all of our customers appreciate is good photography! Whether it’s professional or the pictures they take at home with their own consumer or pro-sumer grade digital cameras. Holly and I recently went on a quest to buy our own point-and-shoot digital camera. One that we can actually grab and use...
Well, we’ve added to our growing family of Canon equipment by buying a super cool new SD800 IS. Straight out of the box, we started taking pictures and video with it to test it out and so far we’re pretty impressed. That’s the introduction to the following pictures. I’m the tech-freak, so I’m playing with...
It’s hard to live near Oklahoma City without hearing about, seeing or going to Life Church. I’m not sure there’s a bigger church in Oklahoma despite the fact that it was only started 10 years ago. Senior Pastor Craig Groeschel is really a pleasure to listen to if you ever get the chance. Actually, you...
I think every photographer, every artist, has their sources of inspiration… those they admire and are challenged by. It’s always nice to hear that we can be that for someone or some group. I heard recently that a school in Midwest City uses our site as part of their photography course training. (Hopefully it’s not...
Photographing political figures and new candidates running for office is a really huge business in almost any market. Campaigns spend big money to have the best PR available. Today was a first for us: taking pictures of the incumbent DA, Wes Lane for his campaign. In just 45-minutes of actual shooting time, we got about...
The weather has broken, school is back in session and our schedule is filling up quickly. If you plan to book a session with us before Christmas, now is definitely the time to call! Looking at the calendar today, it looks like we’re booked 3-4 weeks out right now. As many of you already know,...
I think this weekend was our busiest ever. We had weddings on Friday and Saturday and a special event shoot on Sunday afternoon at the Governor’s Mansion. Senior photography is picking up again and our weeks are booking up quickly. The Concours de Elegance is mainly a car show but also features an art gallery...
This week I had the privilege and opportunity to help the Mercy Foundation with the Mercy Golf Classic at the Quail Creek Country Club. I was actually looking foward to driving around another professional photographer for the day, but as it turned out, there was no other photographer there and I got to be the...
As you may already know, I enjoy sports. Earlier this Summer, I joined the respected “Crippled Squirrels Football Club” and even played in a couple of games before breaking a rib or two. Since I had to sit out this last weekend, I decided to bring the camera and get some pictures of the action....
