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:
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.
I have two favorite photos that I have taken this week and they are favorites for different reasons. The first fave is a flower with added texture. There is something about the colors and the waves of the petals that really attracts my eye.
And the second is of my(sick at the time) Daughter. I just love how the light falls on her and the highlights in her hair.Beautiful light!
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!
I have amazed myself that I have continued to find the time to continue with my own POTD project. Here are a few favorites from the last few weeks.
I love the DOF with this new bloom:
I love this faux tilt-shift effect:
I love the back lighting in this one of my daughter Jaimiee
