This was definitely a first for me. When Megha and I were talking about their family maternity session and what she wanted to incorporate into it she also mentioned that around the time of the session it would be around the time of the Holi Festival which is a festival of color in the Indian culture. While we missed the real day by only a few days it was a really unique and fun way to celebrate welcoming a new little one into their family!
I knew I would have to kind keep my distance so the powder didn’t completely coat my camera and lens but I did get some in the action as well. The powder is actually safe for the environment and will wash away with rain which as we have been having lots of it – no worries there! They wore with so we could see all the colors better! What fun it was and I mean only time you can get away with throwing something at your family member and you and they have a smile on their face;) Well Holi powder and maybe a water balloon;)
Enjoy and looking forward to meeting their new little one soon!
