      We are always reinventing who we are, and photos are one way to share that with the world! "Chara did my headshots and the shoot was a pleasure because she took care of so many levels of it. She managed logistics with grace and calm, she managed my experience by putting me at ease and helping me without ever pressuring me, she managed the atmosphere by being organised and having a vision of what she wanted for me, she also used my own notes to remind me of what I was going for and to inspire me. It was wonderfully creative and fun and that allowed me to show genuine expressions of happiness which is really what I wanted from the beginning. I feel like my book covers and website will really represent me on a deeper level now. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chara's work. She's not only a pro, she a calm, inspiring artist with a smile that lights up the room."Michele Fogal Author Show less
