Hi I'm Charlie (Sharlene) and I am a Wedding, Newborn, Family and Events portrait photographer. This is my Photography Blog and is my place to share my passion. I like to capture moments as they happen, with a candid style involving minimal posing. Relaxed , candid portraits with plenty of fun and laughter. I live and photograph in Newcastle but also travel up the Hunter Valley, Central coast, Sydney and beyond My main inspiration is my family and friends and the environment in which I live.
I don’t often get the opportunity to take many photos of my eldest daughter, so yesterday I jumped at the chance. Taylor was walking around the house wearing these “nerdy” glasses (they are actually 3D glasses she dismantled) I thought it would make a cool pic, so here is the result:
Yes I know it’s another photo of my little one, but I just love it. Yesterday we decided to take some photos outside in between heavy downpours of rain! A sticky bribe didn’t go astray either 
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a photo from my ongoing “Project 365″. To be truthful I almost gave up a month ago when I was sooooo busy with client photos, but thankfully have hung in there. Taking at least 1 photo everyday isn’t as easy as it sounds!
Here is a recent fave. I’ve been hanging out to take a dark, underexposed photo where light illuminated the subject. I got the chance when I peered into my eldest daughters bedroom to see my youngest enthralled with her ipod touch.
Happy Mother’s day to all the wonderful mummies out there. I hope all your families truly appreciate you and spoil you rotten. I am a mummy and it wouldn’t be a Mother’s day post without showing a few family photographs of my children and my mum. Happy Mothers Day !
My eldest daughter and my mum:
and my two girls:
It was my eldest 14th birthday yesterday, so of course I whipped out the camera to document. These are a few of my favorites from our lunchtime trip to the park with Miss 3:
On the weekend i took my 2 girls outside to play in the gorgeous afternoon sun and take some photos of course. Here is my favorite from the session. Mmm yummy light and sunflare!
