Suman + Rishi + Nyla

​Last I saw this happy couple, they were a couple.  Things have changed - for the better.  Nyla is a 4-Month-Old cutie and as you can see from the first image below that we have a sticker to help us keep it straight :-) 

Here's lookin' at you​

Nyla was sitting in her car seat when I arrived and we pretty quickly got started shooting.  Not surprisingly, she wasn't sure what to make of me initially.  I can just imagine what a baby would think of a stranger showing up in her house and keeps moving a large black square to my face and then away.  Never thought about it before but maybe its more like a game of peek-a-boo to her.

True to character, Suman and Rishi had a bunch of scenarios planned.  I've posted some of my favorites from the session.

So much fun.  Looking forward to the next shoot!​

Friends and Family

Not too long ago I learned that a very good friend was pregnant.  A friend that I used to work with and a friend who's wedding I shot.  Maternity isn't something that I've shot before so, this came from searching the web for ideas and collaborating with Suman & Rishi on some thoughts they had for fun shots. 
Together...with room in the middle
 
We were fortunate enough to have a room in their building to shoot without people around, except for one lady that was on a video conference call in the next room the entire time we were around.  This worked out really well since this location was very homy.
 
 
I thought it would be interesting to setup a shot where they had lots of books, "Special Delivery" in this shot, where they're learning and discovering.  Rishi and Suman are a great team and its such a great experience each time we get together.  Congratulations to the both of you!
