You know, I was born on Father’s Day many moons ago (specifically, 32). Granted, it’s dumb luck that this is true, but I still tell at least one new person each year of this little fact. I hold it close to my heart.
And due to this little tidbit of information, I’m THRILLED to say, Happy first Father’s Day, Rishi! You and Sheena sure do make gorgeous babies. Much like their maternity session, I had a fantastic time shooting Sheena && Rishi’s newborn session. It is easy to see how much LOVE pours out of them for sweet Zara and I’m totally smitten.
Sheena’s fantastic parents were in town from California and I was ecstatic that I was able to get a couple of shots with them and their first grandchild. It’s clear to see where Sheena gets her beauty. {♥}

I love that we took maternity pics in their bedroom and then used the same set for Zara’s newborn ones, as well.

Look at that smile!


OBSESSED with this pic.

Unlike most babes, Zara was not keen on being swaddled with her hands tucked in. We eventually acquiesced and it did take a bit to get her back to sleep.


But I’m glad … cause then I get shots like this. :)

By the way, Sheena made these headbands. I’ve asked her to make a few for {kgP}. :)




Remember this couch from their maternity sesh? LOVE LOVE LOVE this.




I asked Sheena and her mother why Zara wears the black bracelets. As I understand it, it is a traditional Indian custom to ward off evil and bring beautiful Zara good luck.



Sheena you are SO photogenic … and Zara is surely to follow.








Alas, Sheena and Rishi are no longer in Michigan, as they moved to Arizona for Rishi’s fellowship. I wanted to capture a few shots of them outside their townhome so they remember where they started this beautiful journey. It has been a pleasure working with the both of you over the past few months and I am SO grateful that you chose {kgP} to document this AHmazing time in your lives. xo
