Charlotte didn’t so much love dance as she loved performing. She had begun to to act in theatrical productions and sing as well. It wasn’t long before she realized she enjoyed it sooo much more than the very structured training of ballet.

At her session, Charlotte’s mom pulled up a video segment of her singing on stage. As she hunted for it on her phone, I confess, I did not have high hopes for a cell phone recording in a theatre. Boy was I wrong! As soon as she played the clip I got chills listening to Charlotte sing. I could not believe how amazing she sounded in a cell phone recording!!
Charlotte has one of the purest voices I have ever heard. It is angelic and warming in a way that is just so rare. She’s like every Disney princess balled into one amazing package!

Charlotte’s love of theatre has landed her some awesome roles! She has performed as Ms. Honey two times at the Drama Learning Center in Columbia. She’s been a White Christmas dancer. She’s been the lead reporter May Sunshine in Chicago. She’s intrigued at being able to step out of her own shoes into a new character the stresses of life melt away. She gets most excited when indulging in her character.
At her view and choose, Charlotte just fell in love with her green gown segment. She mentioned she felt so beautiful here and like a princess. I have heard that a lot over the years, but never truly understood it till I had my own 50th portrait session last year. It is a feeling every woman should have at least once in their life!

Charlotte has a rescue dog Calvin who is the love of her life. However, she didn’t think bringing him for portraits would work out well since he has pretty serious anxiety.
