Behind the Lens

I'm an adventurous soul who finds great joy in creating and capturing beautiful connections, and building friendships wherever I go.

about ME

I'M CHARITY HOPE

A visual artist who has been documenting numerous couples love stories behind my lens over the last eight years all through out New England and beyond. Along the way I have gained a passion for helping creative business owners elevate their brand through authentic storytelling.

The visual artist in me has been in my veins since I was a little girl. You could always find me drawing in my room, singing, dancing, and performing on stages. Watching "Trading Spaces" as a kid was my favorite past time, as I have always loved interior design. Joanna Gaines is my best friend (she just doesn't know it yet).

On a serious note, having only photographs to remember my father by, it created a high value for documenting moments in time that you cannot get back. Seeing those images of him and I as an infant meant the world to me and are still very cherished.

Experiencing such a deep loss from infancy, and many more loved ones along the way, it has shaped me into such a deep-feeling, and empathetic soul, who knows the value of relationships, authenticity, celebrating the "now" and taking risks because tomorrow isn't promised. I am a big mental health advocate and believe it is never too late to start healing!

I love nothing more than spending my mornings slowly - journaling with my coffee in hand, followed by a challenging workout. I enjoy making memories with my children, trying amazing foods, finding any excuse to be by the ocean, traveling the globe, and documenting amazing people. And yes, I am that person who makes friends everywhere I go!

Slow, early mornings drinking coffee on my porch, followed by a walk or a bike ride in the park with my kids. Watching the sun go down at the beach with them is my favorite summer pastime.

My why. I gained my first born daughter and son in the same year, followed by the youngest two years later. They have grown up alongside me as I have built this business, and are my biggest motivators for why I do what I do.

06

part of my job

That moment after the ceremony when my clients realize their forever starts right then, and all of the special people in their lives are full of joy, celebrating with them.

about my clients

Seekers of beauty, creativity, lovers of travel, with a taste for adventure and sea salt in their hair.

It's important that my client's desire a genuine connection and relationship, as it translates to the overall imagery and magic we create. Working with people who are genuine, have a great sense of humor, care deeply for others, know how to have fun, value authenticity and creativity, make my work that much more worthwhile.
