Being a part of this family means you are part of something very wonderful.

I had the fortunate opportunity to hop across the pond recently – not before a bit of airline drama, of course – to capture memories of this beautiful assemblage. I’m so glad the stars aligned; I loved being there and being with this amazing clan.
Do come back for more!
Happy New Year! First and foremost, please forgive me for the quietness around here {I do realize I failed to blog about 20 or so sessions in 2012 and if you’re one of the clients, please do not kick me off your Christmas card list!} Among the many exciting moments this past year, my most favorites were: the blessing of my marriage, the birth of my second child and the new title I’ve acquired – ‘international photographer’.
Our renewal took up all of Q1 and I found out shortly after I was pregnant with baby #2. I will spare you details of my pregnancy and birth, but I must say traveling to Belize was a great end to my maternication last week and, together with my little family {latest joiner included}, we ended the year just right.
For over half a decade now, I have renounced resolutions and, alternatively, I have instead chosen a quote at the start of the new year. Togetherness – my general pledge or intention for the next twelve months. Being a mom is rewarding but not without sweat and hard work. Finally, after the universe told me three times in the last few weeks, “The days are long but the years are short“, I realized I need to put forth more effort to entertain family and friends, schedule HH’s with the girls, and sneak out for date nights with the hubby.
What do you guys vow to do in 2012? Hugs and cheers to new beginnings! Love and happiness to everyone everywhere. I look forward to many many more blessings in the new year!

I shot Suzanne and Jairy’s “Something Green” wedding last month at Springdale Farm and I’m finally ready to share the first set of images! You may remember them from their summer engagement session.
The couple set out to “reuse, reduce, recycle” as much as possible that day and their lifestyle was reflected perfectly in every gorgeous detail. Making it a point to stay away from retail stores as much as possible, Suzanne and Jairy used re-purposed plates, jars, plates and wine bottles for their wedding and reception decor. Card stock was donated for their invitations and napkins were made out of fabric swatches.
It was a beautiful day to be on the farm and I felt extremely blessed to be there and capture their love. The bride and groom are amazing individuals from wonderful families and I foresee a lifetime of happiness and friendship between the two.

Celebrating Sweetest Day is better than Valentine’s Day because it is not about mix tapes, obnoxious teddy bears and heart-shaped balloons. It is for all kinds of love – the one you share with your family, friends, and neighbors. My Sweetest Weekend included dinner with my husband’s family at Eastside Cafe {a Malkani clan favorite}, a second and very special pumpkin patch outing, date day with my husband + little, and several portrait sessions too cute and fun for words.
A few of my favorites from the weekend. My heart is full of smiles.
Yes, more fancy phone photos. You’re welcome!!!
