So, you want to know a little about me? I'm 39, a mother to 6 children, one adult son in the U.S. Army and five younger daughters still at home, I've been married for 21 years to my husband, Ryan, a career NCO in the U.S. Air Force. We've moved more than 18 times in 21 years! I work as a freelance stock photographer and artist. I specialize in colorful photography with a unique twist. I'm LGBT and family friendly. I specialize in stock photography, theme and concept photography, musician and band album cover art, alternative model headshots and unique portraiture.
The photographs are a collection of beautiful moments as seen through my eyes. They are ordinary seconds in time which, when paused, become the canvas upon which I introduce color, texture and emotion. Suddenly, these shutter stops become gripping.
My style is purely formed from "ordinary" smiles, laughter, nature, stillness, excitement, ecstasy, anguish and passion evident in all aspects of everyday life. They are gems evident in all peoples' everyday lives; they simply require the ability to be recognized and captured.
A few of my favorite things:
Seaglass, soft warm sand, salt air, sand dollars, starfish, collecting seashells and pebbles, sea breezes, warm summer days, windchimes, the smell of rain, lilac and orange blossoms in the spring, the sound of waves crashing on the beach, hauntingly beautiful male falsetto, foreign languages, the excitement I feel when visiting new places, campfires, fireflies, sunrise and twilight, berry picking, friendly smiles, world cultures and indigenous peoples.
My photo equipment:
Canon Digital Rebel XTi 10.1 mp DSLR
Kit lens EFS 18-55 mm
Canon EF 100mm macro lens
Canon EOS XSi Digital Rebel 12.1 mp DSLR (October, 2008)

You Have A Type A- Personality
You are one of the most balanced people around
Motivated and focused, you are good at getting what you want
You rule at success, but success doesn't rule you.
When it's playtime, you really know how to kick back
Whether it's hanging out with friends or doing something you love!
You live life to the fullest - incorporating the best of both worlds
Do You Have a Type A Personality?
I'm Female and Taken.

Testimonials

"Pink has inspired me in so many ways! She has shown me that anything seemingly ordinary can become extraordinay through her pictures. Each one of her photographs tells a story and I'll never get tired of looking at them! Thank you, Pink Sherbert Photography, for helping everyone see the world in a different way! =]"
Brother -in- Spirit says:
"You capture things so brilliantly and in such a captivating way that blew me away entirely when I first viewed your pictures. You have a true eye for what you do and how you do it. The colors and the overall imagery work is so phenomenal in every way, shape and form."
The Photique says:
"I ran across the Pink Sherbet Photography when I saw a tribute to the World Trade Centers 9/11/2001, I was amazed that someone remembered that tragic day when the earth stood still, I later began to realize that the Pink Sherbet Photography stream has a mood and meaning to our everyday life, These perfectly taken photos evoke a lot of emotions of our fast moving world, The Pink Sherbet Photography is more than just artwork and family shots it's a whole new world."
Melancholy Flower says:
"Sharon's photography is breathtaking. At once it grips your attention but it also serves to inspire. The artwork for my next album consists of 2 images created by Sharon - and I could not have asked for a greater contribution from anyone. Thank you Sharon and continue to be the visual poet that you are."

RINAJO.DK says:
"What can I say about Shazza? There's an enormous pride in her pix, she has a nice little group of kiddies to her exposure - and she uses them well in her ideas, her lurvly and colourful pix.
The main theme might be pink - but Shazza uses them well, and never over PS any of her shots.
Inspiration can always be found on her stream, check it out - if u r lucky, u might even get invited to a flickr party or two :)
