Food photography

This is one of the best photos I took of food in the past entire year. Just wanted to share this experience where the composition of food photography came together perfectly with plating, background, and lighting. 

Another wonderful, amazing, blessed year.

This year, I am grateful for photography sessions with all of my customers and their guests I have met, developing my food blog, travel experiences, and the opportunity for posting more online content.

Here is to another wonderful, amazing, blessed year. Blogging here since 2010. It is now 2023!

A sad update: A tribute to my mother

I am sharing a post of my mother who I recently lost to her battle with cancer. She passed in July 2020 at 68 years old, just 3 months shy of her next birthday. She was born on the 24th, she passed on the 24th, and she passed in the 24th minute of the hour of her time of death. If that is not the Creator at work, I do not know what is. That gives me strength to know she is in the heavens in the highest of the seven levels she can attain. May she rest eternally in peace. Ameen. 

She was prayed for in 4 nations around the world and remembered by 4-5 generations of her parents' relatives. She was a special lady and will be missed as a daughter, niece, aunt, sister, wife, mother and all of her other titles she was known by. With so many generations, there were simply too many. 

Here is a photo of her at my wedding with me and the groom that she was blessed to attend. 

A tribute to my mother

(1951-2020)

Designs I marketed and advertised throughout the world.

Designs I marketed and advertised shown by example here for the different styles in South Asian and Asian fashion with the first time in the world designs mentioned as Farasha inspired by Kaftan (Caftan), Sharara inspired by Gharara, Lengha-Sari inspired by both Lenghas and Saris, Western white bridal dresses worn with and without a head scarf in silk or satin, more South Asian dresses with head scarves, Bridal Red as floor length gowns, multi-colored Ghararas, high-low long Kameez (shirt) that were high in the front of the dress and long in the back offered with a short train (worn in the photo with fitted leggings), a maxi length gown beaded with South Asian beading, and a high-low Kameez (shirt) worn with a long floor-length skirt. 

There were many designs made with use of fabric for the first time done for different clothing than traditionally done in world history, different beading, and seasonal clothing not offered before in those regions of the world. Clothes were exported to nations where South Asians lived to sell in boutique stores and international delivery to customer's homes was offered on a wide scale for the first time in the world.  

The Farasha is worn outside of South Asia as a loose-fitting, stylish, and comfortable attire for women.
