Raised on Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, Charlotte Caldwell graduated with a BA from Middlebury College, Vermont, in 1974. She went on to receive Masters Degrees in environmental studies and in special education from other New England universities.
As a photographer, naturalist and preservationist, Charlotte captures the beauty of light as it touches landscapes, wildlife, buildings, and people. A book of her photographs was published in 2010, The Cottages and Architects of Yeamans Hall, along with photographs in Antiques Magazine, Antiques and Fine Arts Magazine, newspapers, and newsletters.
Through a juried photography show in 2010, she was chosen to present her insect photography to the North American Nature Photographers' Association's Annual Conference.
She serves on the non-profit boards of Montana Preservation Alliance and The Nature Conservancy of Montana.
In addition to hiking, golfing, traveling and exploring the great outdoors, she loves hanging with her husband, Jeffrey Schutz, their kids and grandkids. Charlotte, Jeffrey, and their dog, Phoebe, divide their time between their ranch outside Clyde Park, Montana, and their home in historic downtown Charleston, South Carolina.
