Charlotte has an instant report with children. This natural affinity when photographing children allows for her photographs to be imbued with the playfulness and quirkiness that is indicative of the imaginative outlook of her child subjects.

Working with creative stylists, and inspiring locations, Charlotte naturally art directs children to portray a relaxed and fun story with an intriguing narrative. Location is important to the playfulness and storytelling of her subjects.

Charlotte has lived and worked in Sydney, London and Paris and is drawn to the coast of Marseille for its rugged natural beauty. Casting is highly considered to fulfil the correct energy and persona for the story.
