Hello! I'm Sharnee!
Your multi-award winning photographer based in Newcastle, NSW!
And this is my dog, Charli, a Bull Arab x. People often say "she's lucky you adopted her", but the truth is, I am the lucky one. She is my definition of perfect. She plays a big part into my 'why' behind this business. Because dogs are more than just a pet, they're family.
There is nothing I love more than being outdoors with my camera & capturing special moments in time. I have always loved photography, ever since I was little, but I really found my passion for it in 2017 after I finished high school.
The photographer who inspired me to follow my dream, Jenn Cooper, once told me "Never stop doing what you love, but never forget why you love it", and those words stay with me every single time I pick up my camera.
Charli
Growing up, I was always around animals. I have had cats, dogs, birds, lizards, frogs, a snake, rabbits & guinea pigs. At one point, I had 17 rescue pets at once! This is where my love for animals really came from. While I primarily photograph dogs, I really love animals of all kinds! After losing my dog, Tyson, in 2021 I realised just how important photos are. The photos I have of Tyson mean the world to me now.
I love many different genres of photography, but pet photography is where my heart truly is. My goal is to create memories you'll cherish for a lifetime. A pet photoshoot with me is more than just some cute photos of your dog. It's about creating a series of photos that beautifully tell the story of your dog. Photos have the ability to speak a thousand words, and by capturing your dog's unique personality, it allows me to highlight everything you love about them through that series of photographs.
When I am not photographing for my clients I enjoy wildlife, landscape and nature photography too. You can see some of my work in the 'portfolio' section of my website. I love getting out and photographing the beautiful place we live in and the wildlife we share it with! I love the challenge of searching for a specific species of bird and the challenge of capturing it in flight, or getting out on the 'humpback highway' and capturing the annual migration of the incredible humpback whales!
Ultimately, my main goal is to create and capture photographs that turn into memories that we can love and cherish forever, regardless of the subject I am photographing.
Moments captured today become memories to last forever.
