Saturday April 28th 2012 was officially Mormon Helping Hands Day throughout the state of California. Thousands of volunteers North and South in the sunshine state arrived at various locations to work and do service. I had the opportunity to photograph at Folsom Middle School where over 200 happy Mormon people (young and old) came together and landscaped multiple parking lot planter boxes. Many hands made light work and within a few hours trees existed and flowers bloomed where there was only dirt before.

Sharlie Z Photography has added a new element to our services : DESIGN! I am so excited to show you some of my new designs and also announce the opening of my new store on Etsy.com (it's called the
Z Shoppe).

Here are some of the designs you will see at the
Z Shoppe. They are all custom and may be ordered in a variety of colors. They are perfect for your own living room or as a present for your child, a wedding, and adoption celebration, a birthparent gift and so much more.
And best of all 100% of profits for the Z Shoppe's sales go towards our adoption fund as we are trying to adopt baby #2!
There are some great things happening! There will be more details soon, but get excited about the arrival of Z Shoppe! (Details will follow shortly!)
... dream of being a sports photographer. Which for those of you who know me well is really a funny thought. The extent of my sporting endeavors is sleeping through the Superbowl once a year. But for some reason being at a live game with a camera in my hand makes me enjoy every sneaker squeaking, pad crunching, bat clinking moment. My husband and I just recently went to a Kings vs Clippers game and I thought I would share two pics. Now-- keep in mind that we had good seats but they weren't courtside. And I also didn't have my normal awesome camera so I know these aren't the best quality and definitely not my best sports shots (I have no delusions about them ever gracing the cover of any sports magazine). But there is still something about them that I love--by stopping the action of these amazing athletes the photos show how talented they truly are. So enjoy these two images, and know that I dreamed about sitting under the basket with my camera doing it for a living... that is until the players repeatedly fell into those poor photographers! I think they broke one of the photographers cameras after a particularly forceful fall. For now I think I will keep my camera in tact and continue taking photos of your cute families!! After all it is much safer that way!
I wanted to take a moment to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day! This is one of my favorite holidays because it's awesome to focus on loving other people. I had to share some photos of my little boy because I love him so much. He was being such a pickle this day but I think it made the pictures have even more personality. And really... who doesn't love a toddler in a fedora?
Enjoy and have a LOVEly day!!!
Here's a sneek peek of my son's Valentine's photosession...
I can't help it if he's camera shy and doesn't want you to see how studly he is. I did however get a bunch of super cute images that I will share with you soon. I may need your help with deciding which one is the best. Stay tuned...
