Send image using Javascript/Ajax and save it to MongoDB

I am trying to save a profile using Ajax to sent the data. I can save when I dont have image, but the problem is that the profile has an image and I would like to send it using the same Ajax function I am using to send the other information. If I don't do this, I have to create a different another Ajax function with 'PUT' request just to modify the document and save the image in it.

Is there some way to send image as Json along with the the other info such as name and email?

This is my HTML:

<input class="teamName" type="text" id="teamName" name="teamName"  size="25" maxlength="60" value="Team Name">
    <input class="companyName" type="text" id="companyName"  name="companyName"  size="25" maxlength= "60" value="Company Name">
    <input class="teamDescription"  type="text" id="teamDescription"  name="teamDescription"    size="25"    maxlength= "60" value="Team Description">
    <input class= "email" type="text" id="email"  name="email"  size="25"   maxlength= "60" value="emails">   
    <input class="charityID"  type="text" id="charityID" name="charityID"  size ="25"      maxlength="60">
     <input class="upload-area" id="upload-area" type="file" size="150">

This is my function and I call using the 'greenButton' onclick method:

function createTeam(){

    var _teamName= document.getElementById("teamName").value;
    var _companyName =document.getElementById("companyName").value; //maybe not, tae it off.
    var _charityID = document.getElementById("charityID").value;
    var _teamDescription = document.getElementById("teamDescription").value;
    var _profileImage = document.getElementById("upload-area").value; //PATH of the Image


    if((_teamName.trim() === "") || (_companyName.trim() === "") || (_charityID.trim() === ""))
    {
        alert("You did not fill the team Name  or companyName or Charity, Please enter with a name");

    }else{
         var sessionID = $.cookie("sessionID")
         $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "http://xxx.xxx.x.xx:8085/team/?sessionID="+sessionID,
                dataType:'json',
                data:{
                    teamName: _teamName,
                    companyName:_companyName,
                    teamDescription:_teamDescription,
                    charityID:_charityID,
                    profileImage:_profileImage  **//CAN I DO THIS, SEND AS JSON?**
                },
                success: function(msg) {
                    $.cookie("teamID",msg.teamID)
                    $.cookie("sessionID",sessionID)
                    alert("team supposedly saved")
                }
          });
        }   
}

And this is how I receive data in my NodeJs to save on my DataBase:

router.post('/', function (req, res){

        //TEAM INFO
       var sessionID = req.query.sessionID  // to get variable form URL is "req.query" 
       var team = req.body;
       var teamName = team.teamName;
       var teamDescription = team.teamDescription;
       var charityID = team.charityID;
       var teamLink = team.teamLink;
       var image = team.profileImage;

      sessionOBJ.isAuthorized(sessionID, function(sessionID){ 

          log.d("Checking session to save team", sessionID);
           var adminID = sessionID.userID; 

           var newTeam = new teamModel({
                teamName: teamName,
                teamDescription: teamDescription,
                teamAdminID: adminID,
                teamLink: teamLink,
                charityID: charityID,
                image: {
                  data:fs.readFileSync(image),
                  contentType:image.type
                }
              });

           newTeam.save(function(err, team){
           if(err) return console.error(err);
           res.send({"status" : "Created", "teamID" : team._id, "teamAdminID":team.teamAdminID });
                log.d("Created  Team ID",  team._id)
                log.d("XXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXX Team Saved inside save method",team);
           });//end save new team 

      });//end is Authorized


}); 

The code above is not working.

How can I send the image file using javascript and Ajax? Can I do this using the same Ajax request?

Thanks in advance.
