Charlotte is a renowned nature and landscape photographer known for her mastery of "Intimate Landscapes" — small scenes from a big landscape. 

"My images are frequently symbolic, with an eye oriented towards the subtle and sometimes overlooked elements of nature. My photographs are not meant to be pretty postcards, but rather frames that celebrate form, line, shape, color, and texture. I return to both familiar and secret places again and again to observe the changes brought about by the seasons, light and weather. I use everything I know about the technology of modern photography combined with my artistic aesthetic to create images that show the natural world differently."

A native of Northern California, Charlotte earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, then cut her teeth in the advertising business as an art director in the 1990's. After that, she operated her own graphic design firm for 15 years before selling the business and diving headlong into the craft of photography. Over time, her style has evolved from a somewhat journalistic approach, to one that pays tribute to the natural world.
