This last weekend marked the 2nd annual Gala for the Grace Giving Foundation. It’s organized at least in part by our friend (and family portrait customer =) Sommer B. We were honored to be able to help sponsor the event aimed at helping some truly needy families in the Edmond area. Edmond has at times...

First of all, let me tell you that I’ll be single-handedly taking care of the two girls tomorrow and Saturday, so if any of you want to come over and play, that would be just great! I’m already bracing myself to get absolutely nothing done while they’re awake… =) Oh well, memories will be made!...
We had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Addie’s entire family the other day. What a great-looking bunch! We started off with a family shot or two and then moved on to the real purpose of the session: Addie’s senior pictures! I loved how the light came filtering through the trees in this spot. The...
We just got back from Texas where we photographed Guy & Scarlett’s wedding at the TCU’s Robert Carr Chapel and we just had to share a few photos from Saturday that jumped out at us as we downloaded and backed them up. =) The grand getaway! I heard he has a Corvette engine in that...
We’re enjoying a bit of a personal day today since we spent the weekend shooting down in Texas. Most people dread Mondays, I suppose, but working on Saturdays have made Mondays a real delight. We try not to schedule anything work-related on those days if we can so it ends up being kind of a...
Here are a few faves from Aaron’s senior portrait session downtown… We found this downed billboard that made for an interesting background Got baby blues? =) Loving the architectural backgrounds under bridges… Matching the blue wall. =) If you know Aaron, you can check out the rest of his session here. The password is his...
I have just a few minutes to post some images, but probably not enough time to provide much witty dialog to go along with it. =) Here are a few favorites from Kye’s session. I like the “noir” look of this one. I couldn’t believe Kye could do this in dress shoes! This is where...
We’re a little bit behind in retouching since we lost 2 entire weeks when our gear was stolen, but I was going through a the images from Brook & Kara-Kae’s wedding and was really excited to share two images right away. =) After the wedding (yes, in the middle of the night!), the newlyweds and...
Oklahoma still feels like the frontier in at least one regard: the weather. It’s untameable, unpredictable and full of awesome surprises. (Awesome in the true sense of the word.) After yesterday’s day-long torrential downpour, today we’re experiencing flash-flooding and high winds! (Higher winds than normal, that is =) Certainly keeps life exciting around here. Today...
For our first trip up to Guthrie’s Scottish Rite Temple, we were deluged with rain. Kim and Mark were troopers, though, and smiled through it all. Here’s one from this afternoon’s session just to hold them over until we can get them all retouched! … All Photos © Christian Sangree, Prints Charming Photography
So on Thursday the news aired the follow-up story about how the equipment and photos were returned and recovered. It was really nice to be able to follow up with a happy ending, of course. In case you saw it, a lot of what we said about it being an answer to prayer and our...
It’s odd, during the last week, I didn’t listen to any music at all. Couldn’t enjoy it or get into it. I thought of this song a lot, though. Now that the “storm” is over, I can enjoy music again and this song especially has a new depth of meaning to me. If you’re not...
Just because so many people have asked, we’re posting one of our faves from the wedding that was stolen (and has been found!). Can you imagine if images like these were lost forever?! Clint & Holly, you were so much fun to be with! We really can’t wait to retouch the entire wedding! Unfortunately we’re...
Okay, one more update… After crunching the recovery software for hours last night (while we were sleeping), we were able to recover the several hundred photos that had been formatted off of the card by the bad guys!!! This is just a beautiful ending to a most stressful and trying week and I want to...
What a day! Besides the fact that it’s April Fool’s day, we have had a really amazing day… I’m tempted to put this off until I’m not so tired and I have more time to really type everything out properly and think it all though, but I know a lot of you have been praying...
We got a call early this morning from a Mr. Smith. Seriously. And he said he has one of our bags, — our larger rolling bag that contained the majority of our equipment and two of our memory cards. It was an unusual call to say the least but he’s offering to return the bag...
