Ninety-Ninth Collection
This beautiful image was from a fantastic grad session and we used this old family truck that went back generations and held a sentimental and special spot for the grad's family.
The image portrays a woman standing in an elegantly austere room with muted tones and classic, minimalist decor. She is barefoot, dressed in a black, long-sleeved dress with a white ruff around her neck, reminiscent of Renaissance or Baroque fashion. A delicate crown adorns her head, and she holds a stack of ornate, old books close to her chest. The background features paneled walls, a bare tree branch resting on a rustic wooden bench, and an empty, ornate frame hanging on the wall, adding to the overall somber yet regal atmosphere of the scene.

"I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life, God gave me life that I might enjoy all things." - a mantra that Saurabh lives and breath, a mantra that was a gift from his father during his teens.
He keeps things simple. Not an easy feat in a world that is bent on complicating basics. For example, his wardrobe is guided by what he deems essentials versus abundance. He's got a few t-shirts and he is content. He wants experiences to power his life versus what he's wearing as he undergoes them. It's easy to believe that such a life is possible if your work allows, isn't it? Often, we take up a less-demanding job and fuel our passion with experiences only. Well, Saurabh chooses to experience life even at work. He is sincere about his hustle, his purpose of bringing life-changing experiences to his customers with fascinatingly innovative products. If you've read through this post, my only hope for you would be to lean into his mantra.
It was taken a few years ago in a studio where I used to work with @elisastambouli. ๐ฉโ๐จ She shared the story of this dress and the doll (the dress was over 40 years old! ๐ฑ). Her mom had kept it until then and made her daughter wear it for this photo.
We bought balloons and let V play with them until I captured this image. ๐ We didn't need so many fancy decorations; rather, we wanted to be witnesses to V's fun moment.
As I always say, kids love photos, but fun and genuine photos! ๐ง๐ฆ๐ธ
