Chinar and I traveled together to meet up with my father at his farm. We got there just in time to celebrate Uttrayan - Kite flying festival which I celebrated for the first time since January of 2007. My father has recently acquired a rottweiler pup with who we got a lot of time to spend, especially Chinar. The weather was near perfect to a point where we moved around on my motorcycle all 20 days that we were there. We also attended weddings of two of our closest friends which gave us a chance to meet up with our friends from our childhood and make some new friends as well. We also got a chance to meet Chinar's grandmother, which was a delight in itself since we were pampered like no other! In addition, we got to eat all the amazing food, shop like crazy, have fresh coconut water, and see some pretty cool things such as a 3 tons Buddha head statue! Hope you enjoy the photos :)

The snow melted away and it was just too nice to not go out and spend some time with the dogs and take photos. The dogs were loving it, I was loving it and overall had a fantastic day! :)

She was born at healthy weight of 6 pounds and 13 oz. on 12.11.13 @ 2151 hrs. Me and my sister Shirali drove down to Columbus, IN to see them this evening where I got first opportunity to take some photos of Kaavya. The mother is doing well and the father is beyond excited to start this new phase! Luckily for them, they have Aakanksha's mother here from India, visiting them to help out with the baby. Congratulations to the new parents. I can guarantee she is going to be a diva! Dhaval ye be warned brother!

My nephew Jaiden had a blast today after we received our first snow for the winter. This also happened to be his first time encounter with snow as well! At first he was confused about what it was and eventually he got used to it and started rolling around. My mother, mysister (Jaiden's momma) and me were out playing with him and as always I managed to get a few photos of us goofing around!

I had to get a quick shoot in with him and Jaiden as well as get a three generation photo! Icing on top was the fact that his grandma has been here on an extended break so got some real nice family shots done. Also had to get some shots with the gorgeous house that Shirali and Bhavin bought in the background :)

While we had everything setup, I asked Chinar to take a few shots of me and the pups :) The photos with Noor totally failed. (She is not much into photos, though I did get an amazing shot of her and Chinar). I love the photo of me with Mysh and Dhishi. Hope you like em :)

We were at my sister's place and ended up baby-sitting my nephew Jaiden since they had to drive up to Chicago over the weekend. Had a blast working with her.

I was requested by my good friend Crystal Corner of DalPrimo Bullmastiffs to travel with the to the event. I have never seen so many Bullmastiffs under the same roof. There were 300+ bullmastiffs entered for the speciality that spanned over an entire week. I was asked to do multiple ad photo shoots ranging from shoot for the best junior bullmastiff handler to doing an ad shoot for Blaine, the #1 ranked Bullmastiff all systems. It was a wonderful experience and I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I did creating them. A big thank you to all at DalPrimo for letting me tag along.

I have so far been using facebook to do so but am not particularly happy since facebook limits on photo size and resolution.

This is a new start in my career as a photographer so bear with me while I iron out all the details and get this portal going.
