My name is Sharon Mallin and I am a natural light portrait and on-location photographer based in the Blue Mountains, NSW. I specialise in children and family portraiture and birth photography. I live at Faulconbridge (in the gorgeous Blue Mountains). I am happily married and have two beautiful children ~ a very active handsome little boy and a precious little girl.
One of my favourite photography quotes is by Sandra Edwards, and is one that I draw great inspiration from:“A photograph is not only a reflection of people. It is a reflection of compassion, love and memories of good times”.I hope you enjoy my photography blog! Feel free to leave me a comment so that I know you stopped by.

A couple of weekends ago I met up with my friend Caroline from Mihaja Photography in Sydney. She was down to photograph the engagement session of Andy & Bec, who are due to marry in April in Queensland. Andy & Bec were such a gorgeous couple and it was a pleasure to once again shoot alongside Caroline. We caught the ferry across to Cockatoo Island and spent the next couple of hours exploring all of the wonderful things the Island has to see and do.
I can’t wait to visit here again!
Personal Project ~ January ‘Photo -A-Day’ Challenge: Taking a photo each day of my family for the month of January.
Sideshow: I have put together a slideshow of the images that I captured of my family during the month of Janaury. To see these collection of images together really makes my heart full and happy.
(It may take a minute or two to load).
Again, thank you to all those that followed along the journey with me (either from the very beginning or if you joined in along the way somewhere), and for those that took the time to comment on my images on either this blog, Facebook, Flickr or Instagram.
There are some other personal photography projects that I am contemplating for 2012 … so watch this space!

Day 31 ~ 31.01.2012: And so we arrive at the final day of this project for 2012. I have truly loved January 2012. Taking the time to capture these precious memories of my children at this special and unique time in their lives is something I will always always be grateful for. I am very much looking forward to making a keepsake coffee table book of these images, so that we can sit down together to reflect and reminisce in the years to come. We will never get to experience these moments in time again, but now we can always remember them.

I will leave you with two final images of my darling children. At the end of the day when we have all been out at work, school and pre-school they will often race in from the car and sit down together at the bottom of our stairs where they will chat about the day they have just had ~ the good parts, the funny parts, the exciting parts and even the sad parts.
Benny and Jessie adore one another ~ I am sure this is something you have seen and come to understand over the last month. I truly hope that as they get older that their relationship will continue to grow and deepen, and that they will carry into their adult lives these many precious moments of their childhood together.
Be there for each other, always.

Day 30 ~ 30.01.2012: On pre-school days you come home with many (many!) precious drawings that you have drawn throughout the day and put in your bag to bring home and share with us. Once we counted 22 drawings on separate pieces of paper that came out of your Dora pre-school bag. Each drawing had a story of its very own. We adored each and every one!
