I had the pleasure of being invited to Milwaukee to photograph the Pakistani Valima of Aleem and Suraiya at the beautiful River Club in Mequon.  For those of you who may not know what a Valima is, it is a reception held by the groom’s family, typically the day after the wedding.  Aleem and Suraiya […]

Headshot mania!  One of our favorite corporate clients contacted us again to photograph their national sales team while they gathered in Las Vegas for their annual conference.  What a pleasure to be invited back again to continue creating imagery that is consistent amongst their 400+ associates whom are spread all around the country.

It’s been a whirlwind few months with my trip to Iceland, family portrait sessions, and my move to Arizona.  I am so happy to be in a new state to expand and grow Shalimar Studios.  I can now welcome more families and clients into the fold and photograph them in ways just like I do […]

I have to admit, Iceland was never very high on my bucket list, but I’ll never say no to visiting a country I haven’t been to before.  So when my little travel group of female photographers decided to make a trip to the land of fire and ice, I knew I had to make something […]

I started earlier this year a relationship and partnership with Lighthouse Charities.  Lighthouse does tremendous work here in the Las Vegas area helping to support and resettle refugees.  Earlier this year we conducted a portrait series of several families where we were able to create portraits of each family in a studio setting, and gift […]

It was a pleasure to have my friend Courtney back in the studio for new and updated headshots.  It’s been a while since I’ve seen her as she moved out of state, however any time I can get some time with this gentle soul is a treat.  Little did I know that her new headshots, with […]

It’s been an absolute pleasure to photograph several Arangetrams over the years, and this one was very special.  Special because we have photographed both of Rohini’s older sister’s Arangetrams and this is the last of the three sisters to complete this wonderful accomplishment.  After years of training and practice, Rohini had reached a level of mastery […]
