Tom and Lisa
      Silver Spring, Maryland
      April, 2007

      Over the last several years, Tom and Lisa have asked me to photograph them many times, and they have become good friends of mine. I photographed their engagement portraits, wedding, and anniversaries, as well as portraits of their mothers and their dogs. Tom and Lisa are a wonderful couple, and I really love spending time with them. I have particularly enjoyed watching their relationship grow from giddy new love to integral parts of each others’ lives. They have their own jokes and keep each other laughing like two people that really understand and appreciate each other.

      This April they celebrated their third anniversary, and we got together a few days later for a photo shoot. We chose to do the portrait session in their town of Silver Spring, Maryland. We wandered around the downtown area, and then ended the evening with drinks at their favorite Irish pub.

      lisa and tom are soooooo photogenic!!! they are starting to have a wonderful collection of photos by charlotte!!!

      we’ll have to catch you for a shoot w/in the next year when you’re in town!

      i dig those tiled stairs!!

      I hope you continue this tradition because every year, you look more in love and show more of the beauty of being married. You actually look “closer” then you did in the beginning. It’s like Charlotte caught it. I love these photos.

      And I am addicted to Lisa’s smile and Tom holding Lisa.

      Thank you!

      You really captured some great moments. You can just see the love, respect and understanding they have for each other in this photos. Nice work.

      I’m so glad you are happy with them, Tom! It was a true pleasure to photograph you and spend a lovely dinner with you guys. Thanks for all the support!

      Thanks so much for that! It’s definitely my goal to capture moments and emotions. ๐Ÿ™‚

      Re: THESE ROCK!

      You’re so welcome, Lisa! I’m really glad you like them! It was great to see you guys, and I look forward to next time. ๐Ÿ™‚

      awwwwwwwwwwwwww too sweet ๐Ÿ™‚

      You’ve got mine.

      If you can get Tom and Lisa’s permission, offer the Guinness picture to Guinness for an ad campaign.

      Amazing as usual. I love the guinness shots, and the way you’re able to make the black and white outdoor photos seem to be at night while the rest are clearly during the day.

      You just rock.

      The booze definitely helps. ๐Ÿ˜‰

      you dealt with the stripes nicely! ๐Ÿ™‚

      charlotte, i’ve been reading your posts for over a year now and even i can see your growth!

      i can’t imagine why ANY of your clients would ever not use you over and over and over. as i mentioned yesterday i think it was- you do more than take a photo, you capture a moment in time. your photos really move me. no matter what your subject- thank you for sharing your talent with us all!

      You know…if only Tom and Lisa really loved each other…

      Beautiful photos–as usual!

      Re: THESE ROCK!

      These are wonderful pictures. I can’t WAIT for the CD!!

      yay! LJ friends!
      Love the pub ones (yum, Guiness!), but REALLY love the one of them looking up the railing.

      Silver Spring has changed a TON in the 8 years since I’ve lived there!

      ooh, the black and white guinness ones are lovely!

      I love the Guinness pictures! And I used to live in Silver Spring, MD. Oh the nostalgia ๐Ÿ™‚

      Beautiful!

      aww, now I want Guinness AND love! Lucky for me, one of those orders is very easy to fill. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Great job, lady! Looks like ya’ll had fun!
