I recently had the pleasure of photographing my first local family since arriving in Bahrain. It was a great privilege for me to step into their beautiful home and life. Sometimes as expats, although we live among other cultures, it is difficult to bridge the gap and truly experience how the local residents live day to day. Baby Ali had just turned six months old, and his mother, Noor, and father, Akhmed, wanted to capture their little cutie at this early milestone. Ali is one of the smiliest babies I have ever photographed, and his parents made me feel right at home.
After shooting Ali's session, Noor put me in touch with her soon-to-be sister-in-law, Ghalya, who asked me to photograph her engagement party--what a great chance to learn about the Bahraini customs during such a special occasion (photos coming soon!)
In the meantime, here are a few of my favorite shots from my day with the Al Bastaki Family--loving the gorgeous light we had. Thanks to Noor and her sweet family for allowing me into your home for the
afternoon!
