Get to know me!
I am Manjula [pronounced mun-ju-lah]. Most days you can find me working on my couch, listening to music while I look at the birds outside my window every once in a while. Among friends, I am mostly known for the pranks I play and for being chatty. I love to travel and meet new people. Cultural nuances always intrigue me. I share my life with my husband and my 8 year old son, who is my muse and my pride. I am a Family and Lifestyle photographer, who loves her coffee, wine and mojitos. I love stand up comedy. I have a soft corner for Irish Setters. I live off of fruits and dark chocolate. I grew up in India, but I now call Virginia my home. This is by far the longest I have lived in any place.
A couple of years ago when I was reminiscing about my childhood to my son, he asked me if he could see some pictures. Unfortunately, I only had 3-4 pictures to share. You see, back then, cameras were a luxury to own. So, we had to go to a studio to get pictures done. The tradition in my family was to take the kids to the studio once a year to get a picture taken on their birthday.
That only lasted for a couple of years. Add to the constant moving from one place to another, 2-3 pictures remained from the handful that were taken.
So, I decided I wanted to not only document my own family’s memories, but also help my clients document theirs. My style is simple, real and authentic. I enjoy capturing emotions and candid everyday moments that tell a story. Every family has their own unique dynamics. My goal is to capture your family’s special moments in a way that you look back upon fondly.
