I recently photographed a sweet 16 party for a wonderful Indian family at a local resort. I wanted to put it on my blog because it was a really exciting, beyond the norm (for me anyway) party. The extraordinary dresses worn by some of the women (called saris?)..the jewelry (bangles).. all popping with color and extravagant style.. It's quite more appealing than your typical wedding black and white tux's and dresses. The dance and the entertainment was quite a show as well. All in all, a good time was had by everyone, including me.
The following photos show some highlights of the event with brief descriptions.
Did I mention it was a surprise party?

During the evening many family members grouped together to get pictures taken. The following are only a few examples:

I expressed my thanks to the family for having me there that evening. They were very satisfied with my services, and absolutely adore all the photos, and have insisted on covering more family events and needs in the future.
I look forward to it.. ;)
