When the words "one hour each at two locations" come up at a photoshoot, you know you're in for a big day and we were!

The first hour was to be at Dakshina Chitra because Jaisree plays the Veena (isn't that so cool?) and she wanted maternity portraits with her Veena and then we were going to travel to Injambakkam for beach pictures.

Logistically alone, so many many things have to fall in place for a plan like this to be executed perfectly. But then you add everyone's health, travel safety, gear functioning well, and not being swamped by crowds to the equation there were way too many things and I was praying so hard because this day had me nervous but God, my goodness me, He covered this day with such grace that it was astounding!

Absolutely everything went perfectly! From having stunning light to EMPTY locations, the Lord's provision was amazing!

This family is so sweet, so soft spoken and very trusting and co-operative! From chasing golden light with me to braving to stand in the ocean with a new dress, this sweet family did it all! They were absolute champs! We got so much done and they didn't complain or even fuss not even once. They had warm smiles and their smiles stayed until the very end! Tharun, their son volunteered to pose his parents for a couple of poses and he gave his best smile for those pictures and it was just precious.

This sweet family were so caring to each other and they showed the same care and love to me! They would constantly check if I needed water or something to eat - just the sweetest! They got me a snickers and introduced me to paperboat orange jelly juice and I'm officially obsessed with that juice! It's just so good!

Praise the Lord for today!! Today wouldn't have happened without the Lord and the Lord didn't just make it happen, He made it absolutely perfect!

We started with Veena pictures against beautiful buildings and ended with silhouette pictures against a stunning sunset and my heart couldn't be fuller! Praise the Lord!
