Almost There

Posted in lifestyle photography, maternity photography, personal shoots by Hemant Naidu on October 14, 2010

This is a very personal post for me since the subject is my wife. Michelle and I are expecting our first child at any moment since we are now five days past our due date. Being a photographer you would think that I would have taken more photos of my wife in the last nine months, but we always found ourselves too busy to go out for a shoot. But once we hit the thirty-nine week mark nearly two weeks ago we thought we better make the time.

We didn’t go to an extravagant location, and didn’t spend a lot of time shooting, but the two of us enjoyed our time together to get some photographs of this very special time in our lives.

I hope you enjoy the short slideshow of some of my favourite photos from the shoot.

Note: for the best quality make sure HD is set to on along the right side of the video player. Scaling should be set to off.

Nicole & Jayesh Hindu Engagement Ceremony

Posted in lifestyle photography, shoots, wedding photography by Hemant Naidu on October 12, 2010

At the end of August Nicole and Jayesh celebrated their engagement at the Hindu temple in Saskatoon. This traditional ceremony brought both of their families together as a first step in joining these two in marriage. And like almost any Indian tradition it was filled with bright colours and lots of food.

Once we wrapped up some family photos, the three of us took off to focus on some images of just the two of them. Here are some of my favourite photographs from that day. Be sure to watch the high definition slideshow at the end to see even more of Nicole and Jayesh.

I’ll be shooting their wedding on New Years Eve next year, and can only imagine the party that’s going to be.
