Studio photo shoot: Uma and Maslin

My favorite little buddies Uma and her little brother Maslin visited us today for a short photo shoot. We initially planned to have it outside but the cold and shortage of time didn't make it a flexible choice for us. So, Laura and I decided to have a photo shoot indoors.

Before I go on to write about the photo shoot I just want to tell all of you how delighted I am to know Laura, mommy of Uma and Maslin. She is so sincere and absolutely lovely! Laura, if you are reading this, I want you to know that I am glad that I met you and I am looking forward to many, many photo shoots and play dates with you and your adorable children.

Halloween Fun

A couple of days ago, we thought about taking pictures of people on Halloween. We first decided to go to Denver downtown, but then changed our mind and decided to check out the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder instead. I'm glad that we picked Boulder, because people were awesome, their costumes were very creative and funny and above all - we had a lot of fun!!!

We started out by taking pictures of families with kids:

Uma and Maz: Children Portraits

Uma and Maz are a sister and a brother. I am delighted to have the chance to photograph such adorable children. I know that their mother is fantabulous! So, no wonder we had so much fun with Uma and Maz. I hope that I will see them soon enough to get more pictures done. We had a good time blowing bubbles, throwing leaves, jumping, laughing and running. I love their energy and their willingness to pose in front of the camera. I love, love, love, Uma and Maz!!!

Here Uma is in process of demonstrating her bubble blowing skills to her brother Maz.

My vision of Snowmass, Aspen and Crested Butte

Recently my husband posted some pictures from our trip to Crested Butte. I decided to follow his footsteps and document my perspective of a couple of days that we spent on the road.

Malika: Portrait

When I first met Malika, she was only 4 months old. Omar was only a couple of weeks old when Malika and her dad came over to see him. It was love from the first sight! Yes, I fell in love with this little bundle of big joy. She had the biggest brown eyes one could imagine. Her curly blond hair and joyful laugh made me want to get pregnant all over again just to have a little girl :D Well, it all happened, but I ended up with another boy, LOL! Every time I see Malika, I still ask my husband if we should give it another try. As much as he adores baby girls, he thinks we've had enough, at least for now!

Malika is smart, happy, bubbly, energetic and super fantastic to work with. I could take her pictures for hours and have fun at the same time! Even her name is very majestic. Malika means "Queen" in Uzbek language.

We had a very hard time choosing photographs for this entry and these are the ones we chose for now.

One of my favorite shots of the day:
