Ms. Lily Bo

Children's photo portrait session in Alameda, California. When we arrived to photograph Adm's niece Lily, she was wearing her Cinderella dress and playing with her dad, Adm's oldest brother Aaron.  Lily is four, and "a big girl now" she will be happy to tell you.  Her Golub traits were quickly made apparent as she cheesed for the camera, ready to pose and smile from ear to ear.

Adm and I had a blast chasing Lily around the house taking her from one type of light to another.  As you will be able to tell from the photos, she is an overabundance of joy.  Right now, her favorite thing is Rapunzel and she kept saying she was having the best day ever.  Even if she was just quoting the movie, we'll take it!

Arohi's Puja

On the fourth of July, I had the opportunity to photograph a new event!  Parents Joy and Tanu celebrated their daughter Arohi's first time eating solid food with a puja, a Hindu ceremony that involved lots of offerings, chanting and praying.  I photographed the ceremony at their home amidst close family and friends.  I love photographing things that are new to me - my senses seem more alert because I never know what's going to happen, and I don't want to miss anything, and Arohi's puja was certainly unlike anything I had ever been to.  It was a beautiful ceremony with phenomenal color which was enhanced by a roaring fire in the middle of the living room!
