I have been waiting to proof this baby session for the longest time. It was great fun taking pictures of this sweet and special little girl in their San Francisco home. It was love at sight looking into those big, big eyes. And it was such a pleasure of working with her amazingly smart and […]
Yes! I am a bit behind schedule in posting and keeping up with the blog. You know that feeling of being swamped and a week of vacation can easily do that to you. Also, my son starts Kindergarden in a week and half which we are excited about. I am hoping to catch up in […]
Oh, I love these too! What a great idea with the wagon!
WOW that baby in a basket is AMAZING! They are all great 🙂
These are great! I agree…I love the true unforced expressions. Perfect!
Meet sweet little baby R, seven days old. Mommy is still working on getting the graphics on the wall but check them out….they are so cool. Thanks so much mom and dad for letting me capture some precious memories for you.
love them! what great art on that wall huh?
for the wonderful E family. A few for a sneak peek for mom, dad and superhero Matthew!
There is just something so magical about superheros. He got this really cool cape as a birthday present from his friend Arjun. Such a perfect gift for my little superhero. He know names of more superheros than I do. He loves being the good guy fighting the bad guys. I am not sure where it […]
These are the memories that last a lifetime!

Oh wow, amazing pictures! I’m glad he liked it 🙂
I had seen this article on the Real Simple website a while back and have been meaning to share it. I can relate to it so much. Growing up, my father hired professionals to take pictures of us and they have served to be wonderful memories of those moments in our life. Additionally, he was […]
The title is borrowed from one of my favorite books called The Journey is the Destination: The Journals of Dan Eldon. The book is a rich visual exploration of the young photojournalist’s work before he was killed by an angry mob in Somalia. I bought this book when I chanced upon it at a Borders […]
Indeed. The journey is the destination.
These are beautiful photographs Alpana. Seeing these and seeing my own film images makes me think more and more of going back to film or at least shooting one roll with film during a session.
I love the instant-gratification of digital but there is nothing quite like the tonality, the depth, the magic of film… along with the workhorse that is photoshop.. it would be a marriage made in heaven. But even if we consider that we can get film like images (or better!) with digital.. the waiting, the slowing down and waiting for the moment, the anticipation of seeing what happened..that is something quite intangible.
Anyway.. I ramble.. you have inspired me to go and scan some film images. Thanks!

Thanks Rashmi. I should also load up my film camera and play with it- what you say is so true!
You are wonderful!!!! LOVE your images…… =)
Simply stunning!
oh wow, that first image especially is fantastic.
These are from a recent family session with Deidre, a local photographer. Aren’t they a just gorgeous family? I had an opportunity to pull out my chair find that they were game to try out. I hope to be doing some chair sessions soon!
Oh Alpana, we LOVE them!!! You don’t know how happy I am to finally have some great family photos – I’m thrilled with just these sneak peeks! One million thank yous. 🙂
Alpana these are fab. Deirdre and her family are so beautiful and she’s such a sweetheart. Awesome job!!!!
