What can I say about Shefali that hasn't already been said? She is a magician who brings people alive in her photographs. We bought our first home last year and wanted to immortalize the moment. My parents were visiting, and it was the perfect chance to capture everyone together after so long. On a whim, I texted Shefali to see if she was available. I knew it was a long shot during peak holiday card season, but she not only agreed but she rearranged her schedule to make it work. When I realized I'd given her the wrong date and had to correct it, she was still willing to accommodate us without hesitation. During the shoot, she made everyone feel completely at ease. My parents are famously camera averse, especially my mom, who never smiles for photos. But around Shefali, she was genuinely happy and comfortable. Shefali made that day memorable for all of us. I can't wait to work with her again.
