Kyle Train Depot and Heritage Center offers a wealth of historical knowledge, and should be a very tempting venue for history enthusiasts.

Sachi and Saurav are expecting their first baby and are excited for her arrival. This is their second baby bump photoshoot with me. I am honored to be documenting this special milestone with them.

Raynav’s first photoshoot, along with his proud parents.

Turns out photographing a baby is difficult, as the expressions and poses cannot be controlled. The only control you generally have is the lighting and positioning the baby.

Sachi and Saurav are expecting their first baby in July 2017!

I am sure we will be shooting a lot more pregnancy pictures as the day comes closer.

Shriti and Naresh are expecting their first child in March. They wanted me to take some pictures to document their pregnancy. We wanted to go to a park to take these pictures but, Austin’s erratic winter weather put damper on our plans and we had to postpone few times.

Maicha is a Newari word, which means a young girl.

Saisha was gifted this beautiful traditional Newari costume by her maternal grandmother’s friend, back in May. She wore this costume for her daycare’s United Nation’s day celebration. However, we took advantage of the long Thanksgiving weekend to take Saisha’s pictures in this attire.

Sudixa and I have been talking about a witch flying on a broom theme for a long time. I am glad we were finally able to shoot the theme just in time for Halloween.

My first try on levitation photography can be seen on this part of the post. Editing was not as hard as I thought it would be. Good results can be achieved with simple editing with Photoshop.

Thank you Rebecca and Brendan for coming fully prepared for the photo-shoot. It is always a pleasure working with ya’all.

Congratulations to Sachi for graduating from Texas A&M with Masters in Accounting.

Among my photograph subjects you are one of those who has always supported my efforts — enthusiastically.

My friends Sachi and Saurav have been happily married for four years, and still going strong. They are always willing to help me learn and test new ideas, for which I am grateful.

The shots taken below used a simple three lights setup, with the third acting as a background light.
