Charlotte Smith (she/her)

Hello!
I'm a Michigan-born photographer based in Ann Arbor and available for travel. My passion is creating authentic, human-centered visuals that tell compelling stories. Through my work, I strive to foster empathy and compassion for the peopIe and places I have the privilege of photographing.

Whether making portraits, documenting small businesses, or showcasing the impact of non-profits, I believe everyone has a story worth sharing. With over 15 years in the industry, I bring extensive experience and a deep commitment to storytelling through my lens. My goal is to create a comfortable, confident environment where clients can truly shine.

I've worked with agencies and companies like the National Park Service, Target, and Ford Motor Company, collaborated with Detroit-area non-profits such as the Pope Francis Center and The Children’s Center, and had my work featured in publications like the The New York Times, TIME, Discover Magazine, USA Today, and Forbes.

I’d love to hear from you—no project is too big or small, and I’m always up for an adventure.
