I’m Charlie, the guy behind the lens at Fixed Focus Productions. I’ve been into photography since my freshman year of high school, but at the time I was too busy trying to find ways to “fit in” to admit it. I remember the first time I went out with a camera to take a few pics. It was for a world geo class project, and I ended up spending most of the day just lost in my own little world. I discovered that shooting photos was cathartic, intoxicating…and so much fun! (I could also say it was my next step in developing from the little boy who played with his parents’ polaroid camera a bit too often to the man I am today.) I’m also a writer, and I LOVE movies. You see where this is going, right? Finding, learning, creating, and telling stories drives me, and it’s a passion that I bring to everything I do as a filmmaker. I believe that every image says so much to the viewer, and there’s a universal quality to this language that connects everyone regardless of who we are and where we come from. I love to combine my passions into creating a positively memorable experience for my clients, and I always toss in a healthy amount of good, old-fashioned strong work ethic to ensure I give you my very best!

When I’m not behind the lens, I’m anywhere being a husband and father takes me: frequenting yogurt shops where I’m force-fed samples of my wife’s particularly sour taste in fro-yo, attending school functions stuffed in the back where my oldest can’t see me anyway, or hustling through grocery stores with my youngest strapped to my chest. My wife is seriously the most incredible person I’ve ever met, and I hilariously try to love her in a way that doesn’t leave her scratching her head as to why she chose me (just kidding, I’m a great husband). My sons are just as quirky as their dad, and I enjoy watching them “quirk it out” from day-to-day. I love to travel-especially where there’s sand and sea. Starbucks is a guilty pleasure of mine. I’m typically in the process of reading no less than three books at any given time. Oh, and I’m a recovering root beer-aholic (two weeks clean as of this writing).

Though I live in Dallas, I travel wherever I can to help people like you capture, create, and share your story. I’ve hopped flights to California, Arizona, and Florida just to name a few places, and it would be my pleasure to shoot with you and help you craft an incredible, lasting memory-no matter where you may be in the country (and maybe even outside of it, who knows)! Well, there’s a bit about me. If you’d like to reach me, head on over to the contact page and drop me a line! I hope to hear from you!
