Hi, I am Ciara Chertude.

Thanks so much for stopping by. 

I started my photography business in 2017 when I bought my first camera from Costco (who else is a Costco queen!?). Since then I have had the pleasure of working with countless individuals and families. I have all my clients to thank for giving me the experience and confidence to be where I am today.

I know one thing a lot of my clients tell me—they feel incredibly comfortable around me, like they can truly be themselves. I have this way of making people feel at ease, whether we’re chatting between shots or diving right into the session.

When it comes to photography, I’ve been around the block. I’ve worked in so many different situations, under various lighting, and I know exactly how to capture the best moments. You won’t need to worry about a thing because I’ve got the experience and the know-how to make it all come together beautifully.

But beyond the camera, I’m kind, funny, caring, and compassionate. I believe in honesty and communication—two things I think are an art form. When they’re done right, they save so much time and energy, and I promise you’ll feel that from the moment we start working together. Whether it's answering your questions or making sure you feel at ease, I’m always here to help and make sure everything goes smoothly.

A little about me—I married my best friend in September 2021, and we’re the perfect travel buddies, always up for backpacking adventures or binge-watching movies. We also love hanging out with friends, playing video games, and just enjoying each other’s company. Oh, and we’ve got a long-haired orange kitty named Milo and an adorable little fox of a doggo, Chloe, who keeps us on our toes.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read a bit about me! Feel free to explore the rest of the website, and let me know if you have any questions. I’d love to connect and make your experience as special as possible!
