Meet Our Team!

Chris - Founder

Hi, I’m Chris Keane. I’m a native of Charlotte, husband and father of five. I’ve worked in photography my entire career, after spending a dozen years as photojournalist I founded CK Visuals in 2016. I find myself extremely fortunate to lead an amazing and motivated staff. When I’m not working you will find me outdoors. As the founder of CK Visuals I want to provide the best experience in photography.

Jaydon - Manager

Hi! I’m Jaydon. I’ve grown with CK Visuals since 2018. My focus is photography, photo production, preschool relations, photography programs and training. I realized at a young age that photography is my passion, and I’m very lucky to do what I love every day with such a motivated and dedicated team.

Christopher - Relations Manager

My name is Christopher and I have been a photographer for 10+ years. I’m a kind, honest and hardworking individual. I love being able to think on my feet and utilize critical thinking skills to solve problems. Inspiring confidence and making my subjects feel comfortable is one of the things I do best!

Karleigh - Customer Success

Hey, I’m Karleigh! I grew up with a passion for helping people and at CK Visuals, I’m one of the first people families connect with when it comes to their portraits.

Skylar - Production Coordinator

Hi! I’m Skylar and I am thrilled to be part of the CK Visuals team as Production Coordinator. I am a Native Texan, but have happily called Charlotte, NC my home for the past few years with my husband and our sweet cat! As someone with years of professional childcare experience working in schools and for families, I find immense joy in being part of the production process for your child’s photos. I hope to bring a smile to you and your family’s day with providing amazing photos for you all to cherish!

Mary - Team Lead

I love to experience life, adventure, and all that comes with it. Being a photographer reminds me of what is truly important; smiling, fun, happiness, love and growth. A photograph silences the world and all of its issues, but if you listen closely, you’ll hear that “everyone smiles in the same language”.

Jaylen - Team Lead

My name is Jaylen, and I’ve had a passion for photography, videography, and all things creative since I was young. As soon as I got my hands on a camera, I enjoyed capturing authentic moments and special memories that people cherish. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) with a major in film and a minor in graphic design. My favorite part of working with CK Visuals is capturing hundreds of pictures that parents adore and getting everyone excited for picture day!

Fannika - Team Lead

Hi, I’m Fannika. Art has been a passion of mine ever since I was young. I always wanted to find a way to express myself through a creative outlet and photography gave me that opportunity. One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is the chance to connect and collaborate with a variety of people. I feel blessed to be able to work with an amazing team doing what I love!
