When mama contacted me to do a San Francisco Family Session, I was both excited and nervous as she is a photographer. We met a few years back at a mutual friend’s home in San Francisco and she mentioned following my work since. We talked about what she wanted from the session and one of […]
Portraits on Film… …an all-film session? I didn’t think I could really pull a portrait session on film given the age of the subjects… but it seemed like a given, as I was photographing a film photographer’s family. I had posted a preview from the session here. And I am quite thrilled with the results! […]

Last fall, I photographed this colorful Venice Beach Family Session. I had sent out my newsletter about being in SoCal for Adventure Always, a photography conference. When mom emailed me to book a session, I was really excited. The last time I saw the Hernandez family, they were visiting the bay area with their two and half […]

Last year, many of you opened up your hearts and donated to raise funds for Amber’s Cure. Every year, I try to donate a photo session as my pay-it-forward to help someone I can with my art. This one was for Amber. Amber is a brave young mama with two boys that is battling a […]

A walk around the neighborhood to capture a San Francisco family. The last black and white is one of my favorites…a moment of stillness from the little guy. And sitting as he did, it seemed like he was peering right through my soul like a wise man that had just turned four that very day. […]

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 […]

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!!!
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!

All are Amazing! Love LOVE love the last image 🙂
I LOVE that portrait of your husband! what a handsome guy! And that last foto!? swoon! I should attempt it with mine! Stopped by from Nancy Lary!
It has been quite a while since I posted anything on the blog! Thought I would share a few images from a mother/daughter San Francisco portrait session to celebrate the upcoming Mother’s day! Most often mom’s don’t get into the picture and find a myriad of excuses not to. I am guilty of it myself. […]
That reminds me, my kiddy pictures hardly have my mum 🙁
