Los Angeles Photographer Charlie Kaine


In the heart of Los Angeles, Charlie Kaine Photography captures more than just moments; we capture the essence of who you are. As world-traveling photo and video content creators, we specialize in bringing the vibrant stories of individuals and teams to life through our lens. From the adrenaline of sports photography to the authenticity of portraits and the energy of corporate events, our expertise lies in telling the stories that are often felt but not seen.


Whether you're a professional athlete whose dedication shines on and off the field or a small business owner with a passion that ignites your community, your story deserves to be told. We understand that not everyone can articulate their journey, and that's where we step in. With a unique blend of emotion and technical precision, we transform ordinary moments into powerful narratives.


Our work with teams, providing dynamic sports portraits and professional headshots, goes beyond capturing athleticism; it's about immortalizing the spirit of teamwork and individual prowess. For our corporate clients, we're not just documenting events and workshops; but preserving milestones and the faces behind the success through professional headshots.


At Charlie Kaine Photography, we believe everyone has a unique story that connects us all. This belief fuels our mission not just to be photographers but storytellers who use our expertise to spotlight your narrative. Our approach is personal yet universal, combining a friendly touch with the credibility of professional expertise.


Let us help you tell your story. Because in every shot we take, there's a story waiting to be told – your story.

“A lot of people say they want to be great, but they’re not willing to make the sacrifices necessary to achieve greatness.”

Husband and Father Charlie Kaine


My journey into the world of photography began unexpectedly, sparked by a desire to impress a special someone—my then-girlfriend, now my wife. She was immersed in film production studies at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, while I was transitioning from a college football career at San Jose State to life after sports. With newfound free time and a desire to impress a pretty girl, I embarked on a self-taught journey through "YouTube University," mastering the complexities of digital cameras and the artistry of Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Little did I know, that this quest would not only win me the heart of my future wife but also ignite a passion for capturing life's fleeting moments through photography.


This new love affair, paralleling the deepening of my relationship, led me to trade the adrenaline of competing in sports for the energy and depth of photographing them. That decision has enriched my life in more ways than I could have imagined. Married since 2011, my wife and I now have three young boys and a dog. Reflecting on our journey, I often revisit our wedding photos. They're not just images; they're time capsules that transport me back to the scent of my wife's perfume, the R&B songs that filled the air, and the flutter of excitement in my heart. It's this profound ability of photographs to evoke such vivid memories that drives my passion.


Now, with Charlie Kaine Photography, I strive to offer the same timeless gift to others. Whether capturing the determination of an athlete, the core of a sports team, or the essence of a unique moment, my mission is to freeze those memories, so you too can look back and relive the emotions, the scents, and the music of your life's most significant chapters.
