Presenting cutest little munchkin Klea!!!

She came to my home studio in Dartford, London. Travelled miles and miles with her Mummy, daddy and big brother.

Klea’s mother Ela has become like a friend to me. She first came to me for her maternity photoshoot and it was the first time she was travelling all the way from West London to my studio. They absolutely loved that experience as I took them to a stunning lake with swans and ducks, close to my home and so she returned once again for the newborn phtoshoot once Klea was born.

Because Ela’s husband was travelling on the day of the shoot I told her I will come to their side towards west London to do their family shots on another day. So I went to Richmond park and it was in the midst of autumn so I specifically told them to go with the autumn colours such as mustard yellow and bottle green, maroon and fuschia pink and omg!!!! the results of the medley of those colours were just amazing as you can see.

Such an honour it has been to photograph the incredible @sunainalondon for her cover story in @seemanetwork magazine.

Sunaina, the more I say about you… the less it would be.

We may have spent very little time together but it was truly inspiring to meet a woman who has carefully managed to balance every single role she’s taken on in her life… with such strength, humility and grace.

To land on your feet in an industry that is dominated by men and then to reach its pinnacle… I am so proud to say that you - Sunaina, are a true representation of what a woman, a woman of colour, a south Asian woman, a mother, a wife… is capable of achieving. Thanks for reaching for the stars and still staying to rooted.

More power to you.

With immense gratitude in my heart, I wish you all

With immense gratitude in my heart, I wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year. Thank you so much for supporting me in my artistic journey.

Love
Sujata

#changingtheconversation “My 9-year-old daughter returned from school one day and asked me if she is "beautiful." As a girl child who grew up in a patriarchal society back in a small town of India, I have battled for all of my life with the constructs of beautiful or ugly; boy or girl; normal or abnormal, rich or poor, pink or blue... this world for me has always been divided in binaries, until my daughter started to grow up with a similar world view. And so, I started this series as an effort to work towards the expansion of humanity. A world without exceptions. A world that moves away from binaries. It is an ongoing series.”

“I have wondered what it would be like to have more than one child, if I need to hold them both tight at the same time,” James said as he laughed casually.

9 years ago, James lost his arm and leg in an accident.

Ashley is a congenital amputee. Which means that she was born with the lower part of her right arm missing.

“I didn’t want to have children because I thought I wouldn't be able to hold her. How will I support her head while feeding? How will I tie her shoe laces? Or change her clothes… but it all worked itself out. Elara realises that mummy and daddy just have to do things differently. So she works with us on solutions.”

“You know how it is… with being limb different… you just have to be persistent.”

Ashley is a successful model and an advocate for families that have a limb different member. Since his accident, James has worked with Japanese gaming giant Konami to personally design and develop his own advanced bionic arm – earning himself the nickname Metal Gear Man. Since then, he's become a speaker, BBC presenter and model.

They have the most beautiful 2-year-old daughter Elara, who truly is a ray of sunshine.

“Hi. My name is Erika. I have Neurofibromatosis

“Hi. My name is Erika. I have Neurofibromatosis type 2, (NF2), a rare genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves, mainly in the brain and spine.

NF2 takes and continues taking, and while it does, we are left with physical losses like loss of vision, hearing and facial function, as well as less tangible ones like the loss of communicating with those we love, lost connections, relationships and opportunities.

Many people don't talk about the importance of grieving these losses, just as one would grieve the loss of a loved one.

Processing grief is tiring and grueling but ultimately, it renews our strength. As we are thrown into yet another cycle of grief and loss, amidst surgeries, radiation and drug trials, we find slivers of hope.

So, we keep going, adapting, evolving and navigating the world we were not quite prepared for.

We celebrate life and advocate for ourselves and others. And though we continue to face the mental, physical and emotional challenges, we don't do it alone.

We find and cherish our support systems - those who never left, but instead learned new ways to connect and communicate, held us up and never questioned our strength or our beauty, even if we might have done so, ourselves.” ~ @erika_kamen

And yet again it’s that night… when I can’t help but believe in magic.

Merry, merrier, merriest Christmas everyone.

With love

When I go into a client’s home, I can often sense the energy… the aura of my surroundings and that helps me connect with the people I am photographing at a deeper level.

Creating meaningful art is all about connections. That between the photographer and the family…
and that; of the members of the family with each other.

And this family just had the most profoundly transcendental connection. I felt this sense of abundance when I met them. A sense of peace. A sense of mutual love and respect and a shared language of kindness.

Grateful to get the opportunity to photograph your beautiful family @akanksharora @tarang_arora

There was that day when I said something to myself

There was that day when I said something to myself… but somehow you heard.

Then there was that day when I thought you were looking away… but somehow you saw.

And then there was that day when everything was just the same… yet I felt so much happier.

Maybe happiness is knowing that you will hear… even my silences.

Maybe happiness is knowing that you will watch over me… always.

Maybe happiness is knowing that you are both, my feeling of being home… and the yearning I feel when I am away.

Maybe happiness is you being my comfort and the reason I am confident to get outside of that comfort.

Maybe happiness really is having a sibling like you…

Liam and Mia forever ♾️ @inbalim09

“Aged two and a half years young I was burned bo

“Aged two and a half years young I was burned boiling water whilst playing a game of ‘Hide n Seek’ with my sister. I was hiding behind the bathroom door and accidentally fell backwards as my sister pushed the door open. I was rushed to the local hospital where we were told I wouldn’t survive. I was quickly transferred to another hospital and put on life support with no hope of survival, but weeks later I pulled through.

Growing up I was taught to embrace my body and was often told I was beautiful but as my 20s approached I began to hate my body.

One day whilst walking across a park with my mum I was approached by a lady that told her I could be a runway model. My mother and I went to the agency later that day and whilst there I was told to fill out some forms. On the forms it asked whether I had any scars. I showed the form to my mother and was quite upset. She told me that it was okay and that I needed to be honest on the form.

When the lady came to take the form, she read it and quickly ushered me and her mother out of the agency. She told me that I could perhaps be a hand model but couldn’t possibly be a runway model with scars.

I was very upset by this and my world was turned upside down, and went on to suffer with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts.

Six Years ago, I walked London Fashion Week - twice - and this September I did it yet again.

Through my campaigning, standing outside London Fashion Week protesting with groups of ladies, I have now shown that anything is possible and everyone should be included in society.

I’m now in the process of setting up @lovedisfiguretalent agency so that we can see everything Diverse and Equal.

Daughter: “Mom, I think I'm old enough now. Is there a Santa Claus?."

Mother: "Ok, I agree that your old enough. But before I tell you, I have a question for you. You see, the truth is a dangerous gift. Once you know something, you can't unknow it. Once you know the truth about Santa Claus, you will never again understand and relate to him as you do now. So my question is: Are you sure you want to know?"

Brief pause

Daughter: "Yes, I want to know"

Mother: "Ok, I'll tell you: Yes there is a Santa Claus"

Daughter: "Really?"

Mother: Yes, really, but he's not an old man with a beard in a red suit. That's just what we tell kids. You see, kids are too young to understand the true nature of Santa Claus, so we explain it to them in a way that they can understand. The truth about Santa Claus is that he's not a person at all; he's an idea. Think of all those presents Santa gave you over the years. I actually bought those myself. I watched you open them. And did it bother me that you didn't thank me? Of course not! In fact it gave me great pleasure. You see, Santa Claus is THE IDEA OF GIVING FOR THE SAKE OF GIVING, without thought of thanks or acknowledgement. When I saw that woman collapse on the subway last week and called for help, I knew that she'd never know that it was me that summoned the ambulance. I was being Santa Claus when I did that."

Daughter: "Oh."

Mother: "So now that you know, you're part of it. You have to be Santa Claus too now. That means you can never tell a young child the secret, and you have to help us select Santa presents for them, and most important, you have to look for opportunities to help people. Got it?"

Wishing you all a beautiful festive season.

Thanks to my dear client Claire @beautiful_kids_parties for inviting me over to capture these images of her gorgeous family.
