Pre-Birthday shoot at Radisson, Goa

Working with toddlers is way too much fun than you can imagine. They can go from all smiley and cuddly to all cranky and grumpy in just a few seconds, and deciphering what they need can be a daunting ask unless the toddler is speaking already, which in most of the cases is negative, and even if they manage to blurt out their reason you wouldn't understand a thing unless you are a mommy.

Ok, Ok..I'll stop my rant right there. And you must be wondering that the shoot I'm going to blog about must have been a tough one, hence the rant. But let me tell you, the shoot was a breeze,and  I got a very happy baby to work with. It had rained a day before and the day of the shoot was way too humid to bear. In spite of that He had such a cute smile through out and I couldn't stop smiling back. My son Shaun loved him too and even after a gap of 2 weeks he recalls KIAAN and says "Kiaan was very cute na mamma".

I really love it when mommies plan what they want on the shoot, it gives the photographer an idea of what the client is expecting, Kiaan's mommy had things in her mind and she communicated it very well right from our first telephonic conversation. And I loved the way she coordinated their out fits for the whole shoot, she was an absolute sweetheart.

Today is Baby Kiaan's first Birthday, hence blogging so late in the night. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIAAN.

Have a look at what Baby kiaan loves to do and, I must specially mention about his Cake Smash, He smashed it like a pro. I'll zip my mouth here and will let the pictures do the talking.

There are many more wonderful picture in different loctaions and outfits but I think I''l just finish this blog with these.

Won't you wish him for his birthday?
Show him some love through your comments.

Take care,

XOXO

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.

XOXO
