Smita Maternity Preview!

I am going to interrupt my normal blogging order to put up a preview of a maternity shoot I did just a few weeks ago.  I was supposed to deliver Smita's maternity pictures to her today when I was scheduled to shoot her newborn pictures, but we had to reschedule her newborn pictures to later in the week, and I did not want her to have to wait any longer to see her pictures!  So here, at least, is a sneak peek of them!

I had met Smita and her family in passing at a party, but this was my first time really working with them!  It was my first maternity shoot involving an older child (Aryan is 7,) and I was excited to get to do something a little different. 

After having to reschedule twice thanks to Tropical Storm Debby, I met Smita's family at Dorothy B. Oven Park.  We had a great time - they are all excellent models! I would tell you what gender Smita's new baby is, but I will let you figure it out!





































































Thanks, Smita, for letting me take your maternity pictures!  I can't wait to photograph little Anika!!!

Ria and Kabeer Springtime Pictures!

My friend, Mitu, and I had been trying to get together to get some pictures of their growing pictures since...Christmas!  Finally, at the end of April, we decided to JUST DO IT.  So we did!

We met at a library near their house.  I don't typically think of using the outsides of libraries for photos, but this one had some lovely spots, and it's always fun to try out a new place!

This shoot wore many hats: 9 month pics of Kabeer, 2 year pics of Ria, and family pictures. 


The family was also preparing to take their first trip (since having babies!) to India to visit family, so we had to get some pictures with The Suitcases to help build some excitement for their family that was waiting on them!













Ria was quite attached to my assistant for the day!
































































Thanks Rahul and Mitu, for taking time out of your busy lives to let me snag some pictures of your family!  It was fun, as always!!!
