San Francisco. I have lived in this beautiful city for over fifteen years. It is the city that stole my heart when I came out for a visit and told myself I would live in one day. I am still amazed by its beauty and finding places that I have never visited before. My first […]

These three year old twin sisters have been my photographic subjects since they were fourteen months old. There is a certain unpredictability documenting really young children that I adore. Their last session was when the girls were two and a half, a little over a year ago. As they say, children grow up in the […]

A few from a recent short story family session in the east bay. The darling little one was just starting to sit up which is a perfect age for a photo session. Did you know that I offer Mini Sessions that range between $550-750 that include the session time and some product. The session yields […]

“It is difficult to see the picture when you are inside the frame.” ~ Unknown Author 724 What are you doing in my castle? ~ Gabby, Age Two What do you get when you mix a two year old and a newborn? A pretty unpredictable session. Here is what it looks like frame by frame […]

I may be a twin but I’m one of a kind. ~Author Unknown A recent favorite real life moment with a Chicago family of twin girls. This family was visiting the Bay Area from Chicago and had booked a professional portrait session. Originally, we had planned on a session in Chicago during my recent trip […]
So cute and I agree with you about candid moments being the best. 🙂
Love this! Candid moments are the best even if they come with tears. Beautiful!
I just love love love this image!!! I love how real it is and it will always take them back whenever they look at it!
That is such a cute and real image. I love it! I am sure the parents do too!
this photo make me smile. so stinkin’ cute!!
Real temper tantrum crying moments have always been my very favorite! Maybe it’s weird but I feel like it encapsulates this moment in life when you can wear your emotions on your sleeve and just let it all. hang. out. I love this.
SO cute!! 🙂 And your words couldn’t be more perfect – this will surely be part of a laughter-filled conversation in years to come!
I love kids pics – they are always natural and this is it what I see here. Very very nice 🙂
Central Park in the summer! It was a lot busier than what I remembered or expected but we somehow got through the session with an active toddler and thousands of people to dodge out of the frame. Recently, I visited NYC with my son, and managed to pack quite a bit in. You can see […]
I love the black and white photos! Wonderful:)
I love seeing Central Park captured through a fresh pair of eyes! Absolutely beautiful.
Sweet! Love the little girl twirling her dress!
That little girl has gorgeous eyes!! And I love the motion blur
I’m such a big fan of your work, Alpana. You somehow manage to make a family session totally artistic. These are fantastic and I can’t enough of those big, beautiful eyes!
All about the eyes. Such beautiful and unique work!
Such beautiful portraits!!!!!!!!
