I’m Charmaine, a lifestyle, portrait, and editorial photographer

Charmaine - shar-MAINE (like the state)

Why Quinny Mae? My last name is Quinn, and my nickname is Mae. My friends call me Charmaine and my family calls me Mae.

I am a wife, mother, and baked good lover. While I love a cupcake with my whole heart, my gifts are not in the baking department; who needs to be good at everything? c'est la vie. My talent lies in the realm of creative expression, with the majority of my passion being photography.



I officially became a photographer while living in New York, but my lifelong love of photography started in California with my grandfather. My earliest memories are of my grandfather with a camera in his hand. Later in life, I realized how precious a photograph could be and became the personality behind the camera. Currently, I live in Colorado and have found no better studio than nature, and I spend as much time outside as I can.
