Her photographs combine digital and analogue techniques, reminiscent of the timeless family photo album, and evoke a sense of nostalgia and melancholy. Themes of social issues, personal identity, and memory are intricately woven into her work, exploring the notion of "this too shall pass," a sentiment often experienced by mothers navigating the challenges of raising children.

Notable exhibitions include the 2023 Portrait Show hosted by Through The Lens Collective and 'The Wildest Most Beautiful Ugly,' hosted by Too Tired Project and Open Studio Kommetjie in 2023. As a stay-at-home mother of four, Sharday's photography serves as a means of documenting and preserving her own stories, as well as those of others, creating a powerful narrative that resonates with many.
