FAMILY- A gift from above

I've always considered myself very blessed to have such a wonderful family to grow in. The bond we share with our parents, the silly times we spend with our siblings and all such precious moments just stay in our hearts forever.

I gives me great joy and happiness when I find the same love in the families of  various clients I shoot, I get to meet some very wonderful families and I also get to witness the love and affection they share for each other, and it fills my heart with such bliss that the words fail to express.

Today, I'm going to blog about one such family, their's is a nuclear family, well settled, have a cute son, and a big house and the cherry on the topping is their extended family.

Ms.R called me up for a lifestyle family photo-shoot and told me that her son's birthday is the next day and asked me to capture those pictures as well as their extended family is going to get together and celebrate the boy's birthday.

The grandfather of the child was a very merry person and told me that "though all my children have settled down with their jobs, have families of their own and are quite busy, they make sure to celebrate the birthday's and anniversaries of the children and grandchildren together". Oh! what a beautiful thing it is, to catch up with families and to spend some precious moments together.

I really consider myself fortunate to be a part of such gatherings and to present them with memories for a lifetime.

Have a look at the happiness.

Will upload pictures of the other members in my next post.

Take care till then.

Family Portrait session

Children bring lots of joy and laughter in our lives, as well as sleep less nights and cranky mornings. something which no one mentions before you have a child eh? 

But years later I wonder if we would ever remember those sleepless nights at all? Rather, I think we would look back and smile at all those silly times and those moments at which you laughed your heart out or those moments which made you proud for being a parent of such a wonderful child. 

Photography is such a wonderful medium to capture such moments in our lives and freeze them forever in time. I feel very honored to be able to gift such wonderful memories to many families I keep meeting through out my journey.

Today I'm going to blog about one such beautiful families.

Ms. R called me up and scheduled this Shoot , their baby girl was yet to turn one in a week or so, and hence they wanted a pre- birthday shoot. We decided upon a few venues near their home. So, as usual we set out as a family before the Golden hour could set in to meet their adorable princess.

It was quite hot for that hour in the day yet the baby girl was very cooperative and she was quite a poser I must say. 

There are so many wonderful pictures of this session, But have only got a few in my pen-drive.

PS. If her adorable smile doesn't melt your heart, then I do not know what will?

Twins & Smash

Well, well you all guessed it right.

It was my first time shooting twins and first time shooting cake smash as well.

I couldn't do my son's cake smash when he was one and since then I was on a look out for clients who would be interested in doing it. As, this is a new trend in India, most of them either did not know about it and were thus quite apprehensive to try it out  and the one's who knew about it were scared of the after effects of the cake smash. Yeah yeah I know, cleaning a baby drenched in butter cream can be a pain.

But, when A+A's mommy called me up and told specifically that she was interested in  Cake smash for their first birthday, I couldn't be more happier, and when she mentioned that I had to shoot a pair of twin girls... I performed an epic dance session in my mind, and then I got hold of my excitement and said yes :).

The family were coming down to Goa for a couple of days and I had to do the shoot in the evening, edit it the same night and hand it over the next morning as they had their returning flight the next morning. As, the next day was a Sunday and I had to go to the church early , I had to wrap up the editing, write it in a DVD and hand it over just after the church, the schedule was all jam packed but the butterflies in my stomach which started at our first conversation haven't died down yet.

The shoot was planned at The Grand Hyatt, Goa. Oh, what a splendid place it was! And the magnificent evening added to its grandeur.

I met the family in their suite and Oh! the twin girls were lovely, they were nonidentical yet identically dressed and made my heart melt into a puddle. It was an adorable family, I must say.

Have a look at their cuteness.

PS: Get ready for some pink cuteness overload. 

And, here comes the most awaited cake smash collage.

Wasn't that an yummy post?

Meet you all in my next post. And till then, Take care
