Our twins go to school, so I am back to blogging:-)

We had a very busy month: a lot of assignment work, LIVE masterclass and preparation for our girls first school, Montessori. Eventually we got everyone ready, washed and potty-trained, and Monday was a first day of school for our girls and some sort of beginning of a new life for us:-)

Now I will have more time to describe  photo-sessions we do and (my favorite:-) to upload more photos including “before and after” on this blog.

Here, at AKELstudio we have so many plans and ideas:
We are going to change our stock web site www.akelphoto.com to specializing only in water stock photography. We want to re-design our Portfolio and run our LIVE  masterclasses to a regular basis.

Also I will fill up my inspirational and motivational collection (www.kapreez.com) with best photographers, designers, retouchers and readings.

Now photos of our first school day:

Children fashion photography in studio and on location.

These pictures are our first collaboration with my favorite children fashion designer Alla Koval. If you are searching for a truly special for your little one, visit her web site www.mylittlecitygirl.com. Her designs look fabulous and unique! Once you see it you’ll never forget:-)

The images was shot for Alla’s pattern book. Lighting setup and technical details, as always, you can find on Alex Koloskov’s Atlanta photographer blog.

Big thank you to our little models – twin daughters Sonia and Lilia. This was their debut in a professional modeling:-)

BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Atlanta, GA

Mandir is the name for a Hindu place of worship and prayer. The word mandir is composed of two words, Man and Dir, whose meanings are mind and still, respectively.  Therefore, a mandir is a place where the mind becomes still; a place where we experience peace from worldly problems.  For centuries, the mandir has remained a spiritual, educational, social and physical cornerstone of Indian society.

It is very unusual to find something like this in Georgia. The place is truly beautiful and the marble carvings are amazing. Unfortunately we can take photos only from a distance. The rest beauty I’ll try to remember:-)
