Lifestyle & Documentary photography
Hi, I'm
Sydney Schertz
Lover of light, people, joy, and connection.
 
 
I’m based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and I photograph life and love both digitally and on analog film.
My passion is creating honest, joyful images that reflect the beauty of life around me. I believe your love and care are already present in the connections you share – my intention is to reflect that back to you in the best way I know how.
My work in photography began in high school, learning film on my mom’s Pentax K1000. That foundation, along with my appreciation for collaboration and community, continues to shape how I approach every session.
While traveling abroad in high school and college, I strengthened my creative voice and deepened my love for visual storytelling. Since then, I’ve been photographing weddings, families, and graduations. You can explore my work here.
It brings me so much joy to create meaningful images that will be cherished for generations to come. So, if you’d like me to help tell your story, you’ve come to the right place.
