I had the most amazing Saturday night
I had the coolest job last night!!! I was invited to come and photograph one of Chris' workmate's grandsons Anna Prasanam. It's a hindu celebration of the baby eating his/her first solid food! An uncle feeds the baby it's first rice cereal then all the grandparents get to as well A small ceremony and a big party to celebrate. I know next to nothing about hindu culture and celebrations, but got a chance to learn so much last night. I had THE best time! The family invited me in and welcomed me as part of their group even though I was there to work, they made sure I got fed(yummmy true indian food is fabulous!!!) and got to know the family a bit. Played with the kids and had a great time! I almost wasn't going to take the job because it was at night and that isn't really good for a natural light photographer!!! But Prahba(grandma) coaxed me into it and I'm so glad!! It didn't hurt that they're all gorgeous!!! Here is a little sneak peak, will be posting the entire slideshow to my website in the next couple of days if you're interested in seeing more! Here is the big moment, the first spoonful of food!
love me some baby tux!
