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 

XOXO

Now go have some cake and satiate your Sweet tooth craving. :D

A little cowboy and his flock of goats

Chance favors the prepared mind- Louis pasteur

Oh! yeah.

This saying proved to be true in my life many times and this is one of those times.

We had ordered an acoustic child guitar from first cry and my hands and camera were itching to use it up as a prop in my photos. It was love at first sight between the guitar and my son Shaun. H e took it around everywhere and all his toys were sent into oblivion. H e loved it so very much, and I knew I had to get some good pictures before he is tired of it.

So, the weekend I had been anticipating finally arrived and before the golden hour(well yes, I'm a sucker for golden hour) could set in, we set out in search of a good location for the shoot. I had some greenery in mind and were driving around. As the monsoons had receded here in Goa, there was no sign of greenery anywhere, Oh! boy, I was totally disappointed  and was on the verge of an emotional breakdown (which happens every time I don't get a location I visualize in my mind) but fortunately my darling hubby came to my rescue and assured me that no matter what he will make sure I get wonderful pictures today. And said that "you are ready with your camera, model and props, so don't you worry things will turn out fine."

And then he drove me to this barren, brown and rocky place and said "you click your pictures here . I'm sure they will turn out beautiful". ( He tells me this every time I go for a shoot). And yeah he is that cheesy. But the adamant me wasn't even ready to venture out of the car but after further persuasion I got down, walked a bit further and made my cute model sit on a rock there and asked him to sing a song while playing his favorite guitar. And my most obliging model did as I wanted and I got wonderful shots but something more wonderful got captured in my lens and it was some goats happily grazing around and Shaun looked at them while I clicked him and viola, I got my theme.

These were some initial shots.

Isn't our little musician so very cute?

Then upon further walk, we found a  found a shepherdess resting, we requested her that we would use her flock and her shepherd mast in our shoot and asked her to call her flock a bit closer as they were quite scattered. She, more than happily obliged. I was laughing gleefully. 

Shaun was quite smitten by the goats but was hesitant to move closer to them, then we gave him the shepherd stick and gave him some time too..and then I ran around like some crazy person  being careful not to startle the flock and the rest of the story is here for you to watch in our visual story.

Don't you dare mess with my flock.

He loved this kid

So, how do you like our little cowboy and his flock of goats?All of us went home happily listening to the bleating of the goats mimicked by my cutie pie, he was way too ecstatic to come out of his little adventure. I just wanted to use the guitar, But, I got to use pretty much more than I wished for.:)

Dear folks, get out of the house, go venturing into the woods, you never know an adventure might be waiting to get into your way.

Happy clicking people.

XOXO

D+B Maternity Shoot

Hello everyone!
How have you all been?

It has been almost an year since I blogged. Was pretty caught up and could never spend much time blogging. 

I was constantly updating my fb page and ventured into Instagram.

I Hope to revive my blog this year, it is one of my new year resolutions. Wish me luck dear people.

I have done many shoots in the past year and I will be blogging my experiences as the time permits.

But now I will blog about my first shoot of this year.

I started this year with a maternity shoot.

One of my clients whom I worked with in the month of December referred me to this charming couple and they got in touch with me. 

After a 45 min drive a beautiful evening was awaiting us, and I met these very wonderful people, They were very shy initially. So, I asked them to keep conversing through out the shoot, and also assured them that I don't understand a bit of their language so that they could speak any thing and everything, and boy! that was the best decision ever cause I got some very candid pictures and I couldn't be more happy.

Their smiles were so contagious and I was smiling through out the shoot. 

 

Two Cute sisters

Hey all!
How are you doing?
The weather has become quite sunny these days and this is the perfect time of the year for great outdoor photoshoots. So, book yours truly today.

A while ago I had the privilege of  shooting two cute little girls, and boy! were they adorable?
Adorable is an understatement, they were lovely in every way and I just love capturing their smiles and innocence in my camera.

The love between siblings is not a matter of choice, it is something we are pre destined with and that love stays with us till we live on this planet.e

I'm one of those blessed individuals who has a very understanding younger sister and a very wonderful brother who is the youngest of us three yet shows more maturity for his age when the situation demands.

Ok, enough said, I will get onto the business. lol

Here are some of the wonderful pictures I got to capture that day, hope you will love browsing through t he gallery of the two charming little ladies.

Hi! beautiful people,

How are you all doing? First of all let me wish you all A very Happy New year.  I know, I know it is pretty late, But better late than never right?

It has been a very long time since I posted something on this blog, it was as if I totally forgot about the very existence of this blog, I got so caught up work and other stuff that I totally ignored this. 

So, very recently I was editing my FB page and then I remembered about this blog and that is when I decided to ramble again.

My husband and I love exploring beautiful places and Goa continues to surprise us every time. Since, our wedding we have been going around and we have discovered many new places which would not be shown to you if you come here as a tourist. Trust me Goa has more than Old Goa,  Baga, Calangute and Anjuna to offer the people.

We usually make it a point to go on outings on Saturdays, since hubby has an off.  And we always take our little munchkin with us on every trip, and we click many photos of him every time and that is how he became my model. 

I'm going to display some wonderful pictures of my little munchkin I got to capture in those underrated yet beautiful places.These pictures will prove as to why I love taking pictures in the natural light.

Clicked by my hubby

All these pictures were taken in very ordinary places, which makes the saying "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" come true. 

Hope you like these pictures.

XO
