The Highlander Studios

“Charles and his family do wonderful work. They did a funeral photo for my mother amazingly fast, frame included. Super fast, and the best quality. Thank you.”

“He did my daughters senior pics in November 2017. Til this day we have never received them. He ignores phone calls and messages.”

“We had a great session both in the studio and on location for my daughter's senior portraits. Love the choice of location and poses. Charles did a great job working with my crazy schedule and patiently went through all the photos with my senior to capture her best!”

“Charles does great work with producing flawless pictures. A lot of creativity was used to optimize the perfect photo. He has also won many awards for his work which speaks for itself. Check out his studio to view his talented work!”

“As a retired professional photographer, I know of no other professional image maker today that I would place above Charles R. Lawson, sole proprietor of The Highlander Studio in Kilmarnock, VA. Within this industry, Mr. Lawson’s complete mastery and application of a variety of advanced, technical visual skill sets is both admirable and enviable. His precise light control, artful compositions, intuitive comprehension of Photoshop techniques, remarkable printing detail and exhaustive equipment inventory humble me as I reflect on an older style of film photography. The Highlander Studio is a complete photographic service company observably adept at portraiture, commercial wedding, architectural, landscape and fine art photography; however broader studio capabilities, that create a more complete company, include masterful retouching and restoration, scanning, printing, framing, archiving, teaching and consulting services. Charles R. Lawson is an award winning multi-certified professional with a notable litany of professional affiliations to his credit. Above all Mr. Lawson persistently strives to better his abilities through ongoing learning opportunities and regular participation in every professional photographic organization and society to which he belongs. He has my faithful admiration and respect. I hope you will trust him with your photographic requirements without hesitation.”
