entrepreneur photo shoot

 finally got my new lens in the mail and decided to stop the excuses and give photographing my own children a shot.

 This is how you looked like my dear Arah for the first 1 hour!  We then decided to call it the day and try some other time as you were more interested in climbing those mountains than actually modeling!

And just before quitting, we decided to play one last game... 

and boy, did it change the whole game...

 I'm glad we didn't quit that early and played that silly 'let's make fun of mommy game'.  It sure made a difference ...

And that day I learned an important lesson in photography.  the hardest part of photography is making the people comfortable, letting them be themselves and have fun.

and of course celebrated the triumph and fed those hungry model, photographer, director with a dinner at Dushanbeh restaurant next to the sound of a wedding and the prolific river.
