Charlotte Leonard
Charlotte was born into a very entrepreneurial atmosphere. Both Mother and Father excelled in various aspects of the business world. From a young age she expressed a strong passion for not only business but also the arts and film.
Her love for film and television production persuaded Charlotte to enroll in Fanshaw’s Television Broadcasting program. This allowed her to express herself creatively behind the scenes. Her passions fell not only behind the scenes but in front of the camera taking roles in various television commercials and films.
She eventually settled in the business world and held a position as a junior executive with a major Canadian corporation. Although the corporate world has many securities, she felt that artistically she needed an outlet to express herself. Soon after being introduced to Photography, sparks flew and a new passion was born. With her background Charlotte adapted well behind the lens of a camera. She knew it was time to chase her new love- Photography.
Charlotte’s work has often been described as emotional, playful, quirky and colourful, truly capturing the moment with a modern photojournalistic approach. Her creative style concentrates on the fine details of your day with an intuitive focus on the sentiments of children.

and to sing it to them when they have forgotten.”
