Charis Elisabeth Photography

Charis Elisabeth has built her name around at-home, documentary-style newborn sessions across the greater Oklahoma City area, and Moore families make up a steady share of her bookings. Rather than a studio full of props, she photographs babies right where they’ll actually spend their first weeks — the nursery, the living room, the parents’ bed — documenting the lived-in details a formal setup usually leaves out. Her lifestyle approach means less posing and more waiting for genuine moments: a yawn mid-stretch, a dad’s hand wrapped around a tiny foot, an older sibling sneaking a first look. That relaxed philosophy has earned her a 5-star reputation across 46 reviews and recognition as one of the area’s award-winning newborn photographers. She also photographs maternity sessions and first-birth-week ‘fresh 48’ visits for parents who want images from the hospital before heading home. Because sessions happen in-home, there’s no packing up a days-old newborn for a studio drive, which many Moore parents cite as the deciding factor in booking her. Charis stays closely involved from the first inquiry through gallery delivery, walking new parents through what to expect at each step before the day arrives.
