Another new face in the blog

A co-worker of mine, after seeing my pictures and hearing my idea that I have been gifting my husband a portrait or a picture of theme taken by me for various occasions for the past few years now, wanted to borrow my idea of gifting and give a picture of her daughter to her husband for V-day and wanted me to pictures of her little girl. 

Got to take some pictures of this little girl with V-day theme.

Some back light and soft light shots from the typical golden hour.









A delay by 3 months.

Spring Flowers

Waited for spring all these months. Now the spring is here with so much of beautiful flowers everywhere, which looks all the more beautiful with sun light.

Taking a portrait in the beautiful mustard fields has been in the to-do list ever since I started taking pictures of my daughter. It will either rain and spoil the day or there wont be the lovely sun light to lighten up the picture or something else, that had stopped me from taking the pictures for the past 3 springs.

This year, got a chance, but the pictures are not up to my satisfaction. I have always had this idea of backlit pictures with yellow mustards lightened up with yellow setting sun. But there was a twist when we arrived at the farm - my little girl refused to get "into" the field - even 4 feet deep without which it could have looked like she standing in front of a pot of mustards. 

So ended up with sun-on-the face shots which lead to too much of yellow on few shots.

Many of them are portraits of daddy-daughter duo which has turned out good.

Posting some portraits and miscellaneous "after-shoot" shots:






























The last two are the edited followed by unedited pictures taken with the very last bit of sunlight that came down for that day.

Had plans of visiting tulip garden sometime this spring. But after this session, we weren't sure of how much fruitful that trip would be since the whole time, she was not wanting to get into the field fearing bugs, twigs, thorns and itchy legs. Hopefully for next spring my little one wont be scared of bugs, twigs and scratch her legs when I ask her to get in the field and hoping to extract better poses from her. 

But still she managed to pull the best in the very short time for her mommy. Loving Spring and loving my little Rainbow!!!
