Diwali…{Mcallen texas photographer}

This family holds a pretty special place in my heart!  I love all things cultural so when Laju suggested doing an Indian themed shoot, I was totally up for it.  The hardest part was keeping it under wraps until Diwali had come!  Samina and Anayah are so big that every time I see them I literally feel myself getting older.  At least Samina smiles for me now though…that child would not smile for a whole year straight whenever I took her pictures!  But I guess if you bring Nani along, they will smile for anything.  I loved their dresses…the detail work is just beautiful.  And watching them interact with their grandparents is always endearing…I have never known a father and grandfather that shows love like Jacky Mahbubani.  I love taking pictures of him with his family because the love he feels freely shines through and it warms my heart.  Sigh…these pictures make me happy.
