Kids Photography - Season 1

Few months back, i did a photo shoot for Mrs. Sharan Shetty's family and their cute little 2yrs old son Idhanth.

This was my first Pro-photo shoot. Kids have always been my fav topic, but they are very challenging too... All these day i just did it for fun & doing it as part of Profession is totally a different experience.

I choose Lalbagh, Bangalore as a location for shoot. Started the shoot in evening. The bright green grass, lovely back light, sprinkler, natural light, kids mood, everything was just so well complimenting for the shoot. I was quite lucky to get some really good shots. I did used strobe lights.

Here are some pics from the session.










You can see more here on my photostream.

Btw, i am available for paid assignments so you can mail me if you are intersted in getting family, kids , teens, bridal, couple portraits done.. mail id sowmya0304@gmail.com . Thank you :)

Kambala Calendar for 2009

Kambala is back again....

Kambala race is more than 1000 years old. It’s basically a popular rural sport in the districts of Mangalore and Udupi in Karnataka. It’s is a traditional buffalo race in slush water, held from December till March. The contest generally takes place between two pairs of buffaloes, controlled by a whip -lashing farmer.

Lovely Kasargodu

When u remember of film Bombay, the first thing comes to mind is the Bekal Fort. The beautiful song “Tu hi re” was shot here. After Bombay, Bekal fort became very popular tourist spot in Kerala.


As everyone, even for me this place was in my wish list. But somehow could not make it all these years. My sis who was in Konaje for sometime for studies was heard about this place, but since she was busy all the times in the studies, could not make it. I had been to her place in May and told here about my plans of visiting this place. She was very much interested and we decided to go in small group.




We took a direct bus from Tokkottu to Kasargod. One can enjoy the travel in these buses because they are really really fast. Buses are very nice with no glass window, but it has a cloth blinds.



We reached the place in two hours. I was near my dream place and was very excited.
