Naperville Photographer | Bollywood Actress

I really do have an awesome job.  I get to go from photographing boudoir, to newborns, to families, to products.  It keeps me from getting bored…which is very easy for me.  But I had the joy of doing something new recently with this beautiful young, lady.  She is getting ready to graduate from college.  Then she is moving to London to pursue her dreams of making it into Bollywood.  She needed new and updated pictures for her site and marketing, etc. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for her, as I would love to be able to say – Hey, I photographed her before she was big.  🙂  She currently performs as a singer, and used to do dancing.  You can check out some of her work HERE.

With the high Indian population in Naperville and the surrounding suburbs, you would think I would have come into at least one other Bollywood performer, but she gets the distinction of being my first! Her mother brought her into the studio, and we had so much fun together.  When she told me of her Bollywood aspirations, I immediately went and googled some Bollywood actresses for inspiration, wanting to give her the right look, etc.  But in reality, they are simply pretty pictures.  Well, that’s no problem – especially when the subject is so pretty.

 

I love this image – love the white space and everything about it.

 

When Natasha performs, she tends to wear formal dresses, like the one below.  So to get some pictures of her performing, her mom pulled up one of her songs on YouTube, and she sang along with it.   Faking singing just doesn’t look right, and we wanted it to look authentic.  It was a pleasure to get to listen to her sing.

 

And I couldn’t help it – I had to give her some va voom pictures, too.

 

Then it was into another formal dress, but this pale pink was so feminine and pretty, I knew I wanted to photograph with this background.  I love this picture.

 

 

Then she changed into a traditional Indian outfit.  It was gorgeous.

 

Then one last outfit change and something a little modern.
