Mukul and I got our first publication together! We shot Dr. Ron and his family for the August 2017 Issue of Bellevue Club’s Reflections Magazine. It was fun running around with the kids while photographing them in action. It never gets boring photographing a family!

Bika, from my series, Transcension.
For this shoot, I was going for a 17th/18th century painting look of a European woman.
It’s been almost two years since I last photographed Maddy and it was so awesome to work with her again! She really rocked that BCBG romper!
The first shoot I did for my series, Transcension, with the beautiful Shelby.
I love old Victorian paintings of women. This portrait shoot was very much inspired by that time period and Shelby was the perfect model for it because of her soft, delicate, and angelic features.
*The painting-like quality in all these photographs are done in camera :)
These photographs were to be one of the features in Bellevue Club’s Reflections Magazine last November but the editor ended up choosing it as the cover feature instead! It was a nice surprise! During the shoot, when I saw Carrie walking up the stairs near the EMP entrance, I thought, what style! Not many people I know can carry pink heels the way she did! Add to that, we had some awesome pink/purple reflected light to complement her outfit nicely.
I absolutely love the old-school Hollywood look. Had a lot of fun experimenting with the lighting for this one!
Model: Ashlen
Hair and Makeup Artist: Studio Facade
And special thanks to the hubby, @mukulsoman, for assisting me!
It’s been so long since I photographed Ashlen! Not only is she a beautiful person inside and out, she is also an amazing gemologist. You should check out some of her work on Instagram (@ashlen_johnson). I've been wanting to do a beauty shoot these last several months and envisioned dramatic lashes touched with golden specks at the ends.
Big thanks to Studio Facade for hair and makeup and @mukulsoman for assisting!
I first saw Timothy out on the streets, leaning on the side of a wall in Capitol Hill. He had such an interesting face, a kind of tough, nothing fazes him kind of look, and at the same time, also a very soft demeanor.
My graphic designer friend and classmate from Seattle Central Creative Academy, Kate, recently hired me to make some portraits of her (1st image above). I worked with her before on an awesome magazine she designed. It was so nice to see my image on the cover page of her magazine (2nd image above) and it was lots of fun to work with her again after school.
I’ve been quite the slacker with updating my blog as of late but that doesn’t mean I stopped photographing in all that time! I’ve been working with Seattle Met Magazine this past year, photographing all sorts of interesting folks in and around the Seattle area. In all these editorials, each portrait was given a colored theme so I used colored gels on my strobes, which gave a nice little pop to my images.
A friend of mine from Toronto visited me and my husband a couple weeks back and as always, when you hang out with the Somans, at least one day has to be spent in the outdoors!
It's been one week since my surgery and I'm feeling a lot better. Laparoscopy is considered to be a pretty minor surgery but the pains that come along with it are not pleasant. Aside from looking pregnant, being bloated all the time, and stomach pains from laughing, coughing, sneezing or excessive movement, I'm not doing too bad. Can't thank the hubby and his wonderful mom enough for taking care of me during this tough time. I'm missing the outdoors a lot and can't wait to be out there photographing again! At least today, I got to take a walk and see a beautiful sunset with such painterly colors! Oh, and that bright spot in the picture was actually there in the sky when I shot it 🙃
So many things have happened these last couple months and I wonder where the time goes! Lately, I’ve been thinking about the value of your time and the sacrifices you have to make in hard times. That’s life and you have to do what you have to do. But if there comes a time when your health becomes a concern, you realize, is that sacrifice really worth it? Hard decisions have to be made and going through tough situations has only made me stronger and has made me value more than ever what I love to do. My husband has played such a big part in making me realize what is important in my life and I am forever thankful to him. Cheers to all who constantly brave tough situations and to doing what feels right in your heart!
In my previous post, you got a peak at the BTS images. Now for the video!
Thanks to @mukulsoman for the awesome BTS footage he got from my recent shoot with Becca & Mikayla. What a shoot it was! The weather was pretty iffy the whole week before the day of the shoot so I didn’t know what to expect but fortunately, it turned out to be a wonderful, clear-blue-sky kind of day. I had a wonderful team and would like to thank Vycktoryja for assisting me, Nikki Reign for the wonderful makeup and hair, and Nadine from @nadiasevening for the gorgeous dresses. I scouted the Skagit Vally area many times before the day of the shoot and always had my eye on these barns. My girls braved it with their heels constantly getting sunken in the dirt! It was one heck of a day. I couldn’t have had a better team for this shoot. I’ll be posting the BTS video next! Stay tuned!
I was overwhelmed and surprised to have won 1st place for the Glazer’s Camera Portfolio Award this year! It’s been a rough and challenging last two years! I can’t thank my teachers from the Seattle Central Creative Academy enough for all the knowledge they have given me. Most importantly, a big thanks to my husband, @mukulsoman, for mentoring me and supporting me in every way he can to help me reach my goals!
