Photographers in Oswego

“I can’t recommend Charleen and her team enough! I was selling my home and knew I needed great pictures if I wanted to sell fast. When I thought my home was ready to sell and picture worthy, I reached out to Charleen. We did a quick FaceTime walkthrough where she made tons of suggested changes on top of what I had already done. After completing them she came out for the shoot and continued to make more modifications. When she was done my home was completely transformed and looked better than it had the entire time I lived there. Her pictures turned out incredible and caused my home to blow up with people desperate to see it, many willing to write offers based on just the pictures. My home was under contract in 3 days, which could have been sooner except we had so many showings we couldn’t fit them all in. I’m thinking of hiring her to do pictures at my new home just so she can come stage it. Seriously, she is amazing. Hire her if you want your home to stand out from others on the market. Pay the extra for a zoom consult in advance“

“As a special needs parent, experiences like this often feel out of reach. So many “once-in-a-lifetime” childhood moments can be overwhelming, overstimulating, or simply not built with our kids in mind. You learn to quietly grieve the memories you worry your child may miss out on. That’s why the Magical Santa Experience at Mettler Portraits means more to our family than words can fully express.

From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully and lovingly designed. The atmosphere was truly magical, yet calm and sensory friendly, soft lighting, gentle pacing, and a warm, welcoming environment that allowed my child to feel safe and at ease. Nothing felt rushed or forced. Instead, the experience unfolded in a way that honored my child exactly as they are, which made all the difference.

Julie is the heart of this experience. Her kindness, patience, and genuine understanding shine through in everything she does. She met my child where they were, followed their cues, and created space for real connection rather than expectations. As a parent who is used to explaining, apologizing, or bracing for things not to work out, it was incredibly emotional to feel so seen and supported. Julie’s talent goes far beyond photography. She has an extraordinary gift for working with children and creating moments of true magic.

The photos themselves are breathtaking. They aren’t just pictures; they are magical keepsakes that capture joy, wonder, and authenticity. Each image makes my heart happy in a way that’s hard to describe. These are the memories every parent dreams of having proof that our children deserve and can have beautiful, meaningful experiences too.

I am endlessly grateful for Julie and for Mettler Portraits. She has created something truly special for families who so often feel overlooked. This experience gave us not only stunning photographs, but also a memory filled with warmth, acceptance, and joy…one we will treasure forever. ?“

“Glenn Angeles Photography did an amazing job on my daughter's senior pictures. We are so happy on how they turned out? They were also very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend them for your next special event!“
