A nerf gun playdate. And an opportunity for me to play and experiment with my camera. One of these sessions that I might not do for a client but can push the envelope for personal projects. So here we go… with guns and all. At one point, when my son was younger, I swore he […]
Got to hang out with this lovely family at their home last year to document that time in their life. Their baby boy wasn’t quite a year old and a perfect time to capture him before he got too mobile. One of my favorite moments was the one you see above with the kids eating […]
You’re SO good! I absolutely love your style. Beautiful work!
gorgeous work – it feels like you (me the viewer) are right there with the family.
These are delicious! Great style.
love your style! it’s so raw and real life. absolutely love!
The black and whites are so great! I always shy away from taking them, but I should venture out. Love!
You have such a great documentary style. I love looking through your photos!
Such a lovely family session!!
How sweet are these?? Love every single one!
Those big eyes are beautiful. These are so natural and timeless.

Absolutely beautiful and honest post. love!
What a lucky family – not only do they have beautiful portraits, but they have ARTISTIC images of their family! I love these so much! You have such a creative way of approaching portraits.
Alpana, you are one of my very favorite photographers in this world full of photographers. One of the things I love most about your work is that the photos are all about the people in them. Each session has its own very authentic feel completely infused with the heart and soul of the families you photograph. It takes great skill to do that, and you are a master of it. True storytelling beautifully told with a sensitive eye. Love to you!!!
These are GREAT!!!
A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost. ~Marion C. Garretty I am always so excited to get a finished album back. There is something so special about the tangible for me and also seeing my vision come to life. I documented these two amazing little girls over a few […]

After a long hiatus, I am re-joining the project 10. We had a fairly un-eventful day. My husband had a long work week and it was nice to have a slow start to the day. We have had rain off and on through the past three days. Most of us have been rejoicing the rain […]
I love the simple beauty and allure of these….simple, yet totally captivating.
I could look at your beautiful work all day Alpana. Wonderful.
Alpana, I LOVE your work.
It’s so good to have you back – and on a month to rejoice – love that you captured that so simply and wonderfully Alpana
Love! The image of him playing games. So awesome!

A few images from my 10 minute pop-up sessions from last November that I can finally share on my new blog. I set out to see what I could capture in ten minutes per child (person). I learned a lot from the exercise. In some cases, I spent a little more time to accommodate siblings […]
I shoot school photos for my son’s school and have about 2 minutes per child to create a relationship, create trust and snap a genuine expression. It is SO HARD. But so rewarding. These are FANTASTIC! Especially considering how little time that is. Well done!
Look at those beautiful kiddos! And, all that lovely light. Great work!
Gorgeous work! They are so cute!
I’m always such a fan of your work! These are fantastic!!
Oh my word! How stinking cute are all of these??!??
Wonderful captures in just ten minutes!
You have such a wonderful eye! I truly love the sun flare images!

Sweet little bugs! It only takes a few minutes when you have all that cuteness in front of you, huh?! So cute.
What a great idea, the photos are awesome! And such an awesome personal exercise to brush up on getting to know kiddos in a short period of time. Love your candid/documentary work and a nice refreshing change of pace to see some lovely portraits too, great job Alpana!!

Our stopover at the exploratorium in San Francisco for his upcoming science project inspiration. We had visited last when he was a toddler and I think we need to make it a regular occurrence.

I am joining a group of talented ladies to document the happenings of a day in our life. Project 10 calls for taking photos at various times in the day. Usually, our days are pretty unexciting and much of it is filled with school and sports. I picked a day when my son played hookie […]
wow..love your editing and the reflections of your day!! welcome!
Welcome to our circle – I LOVED seeing your day – the way you capture light is wonderful – and a day playing hookie is the perfect sneaky day to document.
Welcome! Loved seeing a glimpse of your day!
