| Megha & Chakshu | Portrait Session II | Wednesday |
| Lodi Gardens, Delhi, India | March 19, 2008 |
Yes, there is more of these two gorgeous kids! I can just sense you all hopping up and down with excitement!
So for our famous Taj session Megha and Chakshu wore their outfits from their reception. And for an Indian wedding there are two very important sets of clothing. It was only fair that we do a session with both outfits! So Megha and Chakshu went through another grueling round of beautifying themselves and we all hopping into the car and drove into New Delhi. We went to the gorgeous Lodi Gardensto take some shots in their amazing clothes. Here’s what we got.
Megha is super easy to make laugh, which bodes well for us since we can easily get great fun shots like this.
Throwing in a little mystery ☺
The setting was just amazing, although we still weren’t without big hordes of on-lookers. In India it is not considered rude, as it is in Canada, to simply stand and stare. So it was tough to handle, but once again these two did a flat out fantastic job.
I seriously think Chakshu could have a future as a model. He just poses and smiles so easily.
And Megha does a bang-up job as well. One day we’ll have to take modeling lesssons from them!
And together they are just fab.
It was like our dream photo location. Great light, and great architecture, we could have spent all day there!
Now here is a neat one. Rob was trying out a technique he liked, and I think the result is just awesome!
Megha’s chura looked great against her bright pink lengha (a lengha is a ornate skirt, that is worn with a top, and a very elaborate scarf. The whole outfit is unbelievably heavy. Honestly you would not believe it. Serious.
And then we got a little dramatic.
A great close-up of Chakshu holding on to his stole. 
So there you have it, the second portrait session, and one that we enjoyed just as much as the Taj session! As fun as Taj was, it was really fast paced and stressful, so it was nice to take it a bit easier with these two, and find some relatively secluded places. And Megha and Chakshu haven’t even seen these photos yet, so we really hope they enjoyed them!

Michael Shandro: What wonderful eyes Megha has, and Chakshu is quiate a natural poser. The portraits are stunning. What a beautiful backdrop.

Jonathan Adams: Great stuff and way to think outside of the box on the multiple exposure image. I'd love to hear about your reevaluation of the gear and equipment you did or did not bring after the trip. I'm curious about what you would do differently and what did and didn't work for you on the trip photographically. I'm always reevaluating what I take on trips and what I leave behind. Keep up the great work and look for the light...there is always amazing light in countries where electric is a luxury...need to build the home and locations to take in the natural light. Enjoy, share and grow. Jonathan ( 2008-03-19 22:28:17 )
