My dad's 94th birthday gift... and it's for you. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
|
Dear Reader, My dad's birthday was July 4. Every year when I called to wish him a happy birthday, he'd answer with a smile and say, "You know all of America is celebrating my special day." This year will be my first July 4 without hearing that familiar joke. He passed away last November, and this year I'll celebrate him by eating one of his favorite desserts and looking through our old family photos. My dad was the reason I fell in love with photographs. Whenever I look through my box of faded black-and-white childhood photos, I see my history. That's the magic of legacy photographs. It's a reminder of why I do the work that I do. I first photographed Stefani holding her eight-month-old daughter in tiny baby jeans. Since then, I've watched her family grow through my lens. What I loved about this session was that it was finally just for her. It reminded me that one day, these photographs become the ones your family treasures most. So, in honor of my dad's 94th birthday, I'm doing something I've never offered before. I'm opening my full portrait experience, valued at $690, for just $94. You'll receive my full portrait experience, including a planning and styling consultation, expert guidance for the shoot, and the ability to create multiple looks. Portraits in print and digital are purchased separately. You'll find all the details on the booking page. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, your mom, your daughter, your family, or simply yourself, don't wait for the "perfect" time. 👉 BOOK YOUR SESSION FOR $94 ONLY THROUGH JULY 4. Here's to creating photographs your family will treasure long after the moment has passed. xo, Alpana
P.S. I shared Stefani's story on LinkedIn, along with a few of the family photos we've created over the years. This time, it wasn't about documenting everyone else. It was about celebrating her. P.P.S. There are only a handful of sessions available at this price, and booking closes on July 4. I don't plan to offer this again. If you've been waiting for the right time, maybe this is it. |

Reader, I am a chai lover who stopped drinking chai. And coffee. 😪 Chai is a huge part of my identity, so it makes me cry. My viral IG reel tells the story here. I have a SNP, a genetic trait that impacts how my body metabolizes caffeine. Most people clear caffeine in about 60 minutes, but it takes me forever. What sealed the deal was a chai crawl a few weeks back. One perfect cup of cardamom chai at 4 pm kept me awake until 3 am. That cup was also the impetus to get off caffeine entirely,...
Hey Reader, I started getting phishing emails from my own domain. My. Own. Domain. I sat with that for a minute. And then another minute. And then I thought, I am not going to block my own email address. 😂 Back in January, my website got hacked. And in the grand tradition of dealing with uncomfortable things I'd rather not deal with, I did... basically nothing about it. For months. I knew I needed to move hosts. I also knew that moving four domains sounded like the kind of project that ruins...
DearReader, I found myself between two worlds. Growing up in India, the message was clear. Don't stand out. Don't take up too much space. Be invisible. It's easy to internalize that. Even easier to stay rooted in it. Then I came to America at 22 and everything shifted. In my Master's program, I sat in awe of how women showed up. With Maryanne and Ken, with obviously my camera, and in an oversized red coat Maryanne, a mom from Pennsylvania, was juggling school and kids, and her presence was...
