Hi, I am Charl Smith. First, I want to thank you for browsing my blog. If you recently got engaged, congratulations!!! Now the FUN starts for you and your fiance. If you are just spending time on the web, I hope that you feel inspired by my photos, I hope that you will get your camera and freeze the moment for eternity.
Something about myself:
I am passionate about people, about God and photography. I just love working with people and capture their most important day in their lives for them, to freeze the moment forever.
I am a full time photographer, and I can’t believe that my passion pays my bills. Yes, how many people can say that? Before I did photography full time, I was a high school teacher. NOW, that was a passion killer!!! After a few years teaching, I really felt “empty”. I started photography as a hobby and something inside of me was ‘resurrected’ and I started to live again.
Every day I thank God for the opportunities He brings along my path, I thank Him for the talent and creativity so that I can take photos that really speaks to the heart. He is after all The Creative One, the ONE who created EVERYTHING!
MEANING OF AGAPé
A lot of people ask me what does Agapé mean. Agapé is the GREEK word that describes God's Love. The love of God or Christ for mankind. This is why I choose this for my company name, because, as a christian I believe that a man and woman can only truly love one another because God loved us first.
