Hey there! I'm Charles Edelstein,

a photographer based in Minneapolis with a passion for capturing life’s most meaningful moments. I was born and raised in Saint Louis Park, Minnesota, and it’s here that my journey with photography began. I’ll never forget the first time I picked up a camera back in 2012—something clicked (pun intended!), and I’ve been hooked ever since. Since then, I’ve spent countless hours honing my craft, constantly inspired by the power of creating, designing, and sharing stories through my lens.

Photography is more than just a job for me; it’s a way to express the emotions and stories behind each shot. Whether it's a landscape, a portrait, or a special moment at a wedding, my goal is always to capture not just what’s in front of the camera, but the feeling and energy of the moment. I specialize in high school senior portraits and weddings, and I absolutely love working with clients to create memories that will last a lifetime.

With over 10 years of experience, I've worked on everything from commissioned projects to product photography, and I’m skilled in both Photoshop and Lightroom to ensure every image is polished and true to its essence. I believe the magic really comes from the way I adapt my style to match each shoot—whether it's bringing excitement to a senior portrait session or capturing the emotion of a wedding day.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me out hiking in nature, working out, or spending time with my dog, Dewey. I’m always seeking new experiences and perspectives, and I strive to bring that fresh energy into everything I do.

I’m so excited to be a part of your journey, and I can’t wait to make memories with you soon!
