About Photos By Sharlene

About Sharlene – Hills District Photographer in Annangrove

For over 25 years, I’ve been capturing beautiful, authentic moments for families, children, pets, and professionals across the Hills District. Based in Annangrove, my six acres of peaceful natural bushland provide the perfect backdrop for relaxed, genuine photography sessions.

Whether you’re in Box Hill, Rouse Hill, Kellyville North, Glenhaven, or the surrounding suburbs, I love helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera so their true personalities shine through. Every session is designed to be easy-going and enjoyable, resulting in timeless images you’ll treasure for years to come.

I specialise in family portraits, pet photography, preschool photography, and professional headshots — capturing the real connections, laughter, and emotion that make each story unique.

Alongside years of photography experience, I also bring a background in digital marketing, which enhances my understanding of presentation, storytelling, and the importance of creating images that make a lasting impression.

Photography, for me, is about more than just taking pictures — it’s about preserving life’s most meaningful memories in a natural, heartfelt way.

If you’re looking for a local Annangrove photographer who takes the time to connect, listen, and capture what matters most, I’d love to work with you.

 

Beautiful Portraits, Naturally Captured

At my Annangrove studio, surrounded by six acres of peaceful bushland, I create portraits that radiate warmth and genuine emotion — images that become cherished memories for years to come. You’ll often hear the bellbirds singing and the soft rustle of gum trees — the perfect setting to relax, laugh, and simply be yourselves.

Families are drawn to my natural, distinctive style, especially when photographing young children. My approach is relaxed and intuitive, allowing real personalities and connections to shine through. I love capturing those fleeting expressions — the familiar grin, the cheeky glance, the shared laughter — the moments that truly tell your family’s story.

As a mother of three, I understand just how quickly time passes and how precious these moments are. Every child is unique, and every family has its own story to tell. My goal is to create images that make you smile each time you look at them — reminders of love, laughter, and the joy of being together.



Photos by Sharlene specialise in the following areas of photography:


~ Capturing your family from birth, and beyond~

Newborn

WIDE-EYED BABY PORTRAITS


Not all newborns sleep through their photo sessions — and that’s perfectly fine! Some little ones arrive wide awake, curious, and full of personality. These moments are just as special, capturing each baby’s unique expressions and early wonder in a natural, beautiful way.

Children

I love you more than the moon, the stars, and the sky above.
