Nikon D700 // freelense My beautiful boy. Almost eleven. Where did time go? We took this portrait after getting back from track. A day of mixed emotions. Your relay team got disqualified after one of the team mates dropped the baton. This means your gold-medal winning team won’t make it to the regionals next week. […]
oh my goodness! what an amazing portrait!!!
Love, love, love!!! What a precious son you have! XOXO

This portrait is fantastic! And I agree with Kel, you really do have the most beautiful muse.

“It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want—oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!” ― Mark Twain Spring in here in the San Francisco Bay Area! Right now, our […]
Such a great post. Your son is so handsome!
Such a sweet session… and those EYES!!
I always enjoy looking at your images of your son! Love the sense of adventure in these.
Those eyes!! Your son is so handsome!!
I love these so much!
I love your eye! And his eyes!
His eyes are amazing! I have a 10 year old too and he’s the same – trouble is he’s even resisting my attempts at bribery!
So sweet!
Sooo jealous, it’s definitely far from here in Chicago 🙁
Love all of these though, the brightness and the pretty flowers.. I love Spring!!
Gotta love the mustard! Beautiful shots!
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 […]
these are so so brilliant!!
I always said the same about my son and yet he has nerf guns laying around too. These shots are super cool! I don’t know what the filter is your using, but it makes the photos look very cool.
how the heck? my very favorite post from you… I need to learn your secrets.. love the feel of these.. that double/triple exposure is killer and love the rainbow, the blur.. so freaking good!
These are awesome!
Soooooo good – love seeing experiments and pushing the norm.
These are so great!! Totally reminds me of my boys! The double exposures and triples are rad!
I have no words. That first image is amazing. Triple exposure?? Crazy good!
Fantastic work! I love that you are making the everyday life of your children into art. They will treasure these!
Only you could make Nerf gun wars look artistic and cool. You rock!
This looks like so much fun! Reminds me of my younger brother growing up, who loved to have Nerf gun wars with friends 🙂
How creative! I love looking through these.
I love all of these photographs! You are so talented!
Love these! This inspires me because usually when the plastic toys come out, I put my camera away but these are awesome!
So creative. What were you shooting through? I love them all!
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!
Those gorgeous eyes!! I think my favorite is his adorable joy playing the video game though<3
Love how you compose with color, and yet also rock the black and whites. And what a gorgeous child that is… my goodness… those eyes. Future heartbreaker.

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.
How cool! These shots are rad! He must’ve had a blast. 🙂 I used to go there as a kid and I’m sure it’s even cooler now!
What a fun place to visit, I want to go there now!

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!
A few from our family trip to Santa Cruz. At nine, he is certainly getting to be more challenging to photograph. The beach hangout was rather spontaneous as we ended up there in the course of my locating scouting for this family session the next day. One more week and we go back to school. […]

Thanks Andi. I am so glad to get what I can with the boy!
Perfection! I love this series —- a perfect day with the boys, brilliantly captured!
