My Kids

My Kids are keeping me super busy.  Life has changed ten-fold.  Two kids, new house, new neighborhood...Its been hard to keep up with everything.  Once things settle I promise to get right back into photography!  In the meantime if you want to book me for family sessions or couple sessions, please send me an email!  I know I have been absent on my blog, but I am still here!

iphone 4s camera

I am pretty impressed with the iphone 4s camera + the many apps out there to help filter and enhance photos.  Of course this is no where near replacing my camera, but for those moments where I don't have my canon 1D next to me, it works well.  Also I can finally take pics of myself!  Here is a montage of our trip to SB.  All pics taken with the iphone 4s and enhanced on the iphone using various apps...Love it.

Have a wonderful Holiday Season!

Welcome Jeevan Krishna Murthy - November 10, 2011

I am quite thrilled to announce the birth of our second child: Jeevan Krishna Murthy.  While I was hoping to get a few weeks of rest before this little guy showed up, I am so thrilled to finally met him.  He arrived 4 weeks early (November 10, 2011) : a whole 6 lbs 13 ounces of pure joy.  He is as healthy as can be and as wonderful as I imagined.  We named him Jeevan because there is no better way to define life than by him.  I am so grateful to God to be a Mom again.  I wish there was a way to capture the feeling of holding your own child for the first time.  There are no words to describe it.  So for now, pictures will have to do. Here are a few from the baby announcement photo-shoot

Rekha turns 4 photoshoot + #2 on the way

My little angel just turned 4 and We are pregnant with #2, due to deliver this year.  I apologize profusely for turning down all the wonderful weddings coming my way.  Don't worry you all, I will be back and am selectively choosing weddings to do in Summer 2012.  I am honored and thrilled with the influx of wedding requests.  Rest assure I will be back.  Much love to all.

My little Ballerina's Photoshoot

We are in New Orleans visiting my sister and her family.  Of course I could not pass up this opportunity for a photoshoot with my daughter Rekha and niece Riya.  Their little dog Yaya joined us.  Aren't they lovely ballerina's?
