I Want To Tune In!

A while ago over Thanksgiving break I had the good fortune of meeting a young one in my group of family friends back home. I was super excited, albeit REALLY nervous when Neha & Vikrant asked me to take pictures of their addition to the family. I was really happy that I would be able to meet him but I’d never taken pictures of newborns before. However, it went really really well and it was funny watching Abhinav’s parents attempting to make him laugh. This little one is growing up so fast so take a quick look at what he was like when he was just a couple of months old!

Look at those TINY feet!! I also loved the little Santa hat they had with his outfit, so cute 🙂

Watching Neha & Vikrant make so many attempts to make their little one laugh made me smile so much. 

They even read to him from his favorite Dr. Seuss book. Looks like the kid is going to have good taste (although he may just have liked it because it was bright yellow).

So so tiny!

I’m honored that you guys let me take pictures of your family! It was so great getting to meet Abhinav and I’ve loved being able to watch him grow through your own pictures throughout the past couple of months. I hope that he gets to look back on these pictures one day and sees how much you guys love him through them!

Also thanks to Chinmay for snapping this really quick shot of  me holding him!!
