In December 2009 , I visited  India for three main reasons – to visit my close & dear ones , to get engaged and to attend my cousin sister’s (Anju Narayanan – who is really close to me)  wedding.  And I took that opportunity to take plenty of pictures at Anju’s wedding.
As a usual custom in our Hindu religion, the bride visits the temple a day before her wedding and prays for the blessings from the almighty for a prosperous married life ahead. I decided to accompany her with the official wedding photographer that day and captured some candid portraits. So here are some of the pictures of my sweet sister Anju (now officially Anju Jyothish ) shot  at the Payyanur Subrahmanya Swami temple , which is situated at the northern part of Kerala state in India.

I was glad this dancer accepted my request for posing for me after the Utah Indian cultural center program , held at the City library a few weeks back . Also she was pretty smart to ask me how to pose and started posing some dance forms in Mohiniyattam .Congratulating the dancer for a great performance and wishing her all the best for the future .

The Utah-Indian cultural center celebrated the Diwali festival at the Utah city library . I was truly lucky to attend the wonderful function and capture some Kerala folklore dance forms . The function reminded me the days in my native state ‘Kerala’ ( India ) and they just made me feel I was in India . I congratulate the dancers and performers who brought these unique art forms to the beautiful state of utah.And the people behind the cultural center who made this function a success . I will be posting the pictures of different categories so that my friends from Utah see our colorful culture . Look out for the subsequent posts from the Utah Indian cultural center program .

Shnicka from Florida, gave me a call seeing my ad in a Utah website and asked whether I would be interested in taking her sister’s 15 days old baby’s pictures (Will be updated in next post).I made it clear that I am very new to baby pictures and also I don’t have any studio setup .She agreed to a Photoshoot and I visited them a month back .To my surprise , there was Sabie , Shnicka daughter who was also present in their house. Sabie was truly cute and really photogenic .Updating some of the pictures of Sabie (she’s less than 1 year old) , Shnicka’s Daughter.
