Hello all,

Welcome to my blog !  

A little bit about myself. I am married to my husband, Suresh and have two boys - Rishi and Rishaan. I am originally from Chennai where my parents live but call Chicago as my second home now. I hold an Engineering degree from India and a MBA degree from Chicago. I worked as a software consultant close to 12 years before deciding to take a break for my kids. Though I love math and science to the moon and back, art has played a major role in my life.

Out of the many things that I picked up during my time at home, photography is the hobby that I am very passionate about. I was instantly sold on photography as it is the only one that has the ability to bring back the bygone moments. Art runs in my mom's side of the family starting with my Grandfather. All my maternal uncles and mom are very artistic and have that eye for seeing beauty in almost anything. My camera is my friend and is very close to my heart. One can see a digital SLR camera on my coffee table all the time as I shoot my kid's precious candid moments all the time. I have had many models of Canon cameras but I can see myself switching to Sony mirrorless. While I was intimidated at first when I read the manual of my first SLR many years ago, the camera really went nicer on me and showed me its magic. I love doing portraits of people both indoors and outdoors. But I also love documentary with my family as is. You can see a few of my captures under the "documentary" folder.

Though I have been shooting my family for sometime now, it was not until recently that I decided to get out of my comfort zone and shoot families other than my own. I hope to do justice to this art as much as I can and create more content.

Thanks for stopping by !

Xoxo,

Lakshmi
