The Derakhshanians

Here is the Derakhshanian family as promised... and you thought my last name was long! Natasha & I are in the long-last-names club. It's very exclusive. ;o) I met up with the fam in mid-December for this great outdoor shoot on the Plaza. Some might call them a bunch of ham bones... and I would have to agree. It was a really nice day and everyone had a blast being goofy and playing it up for the camera. All shoots are meant to be this fun!

Here is Grandmother. I think she is just beautiful. The camera loves Nily
Guess who the biggest ham is?
Here I got a couple shots of some Plaza window-shopping. I love her red scarf & Natasha & Nily are so cute!
These have got to be the greatest steps in the city. I love how they're all striking a pose.
Overlooking the steps. You can see the string of the famous Plaza lights. I love the warm evening light as they look at.... um... I hope they're not staring at the sun...

At the top of the steps under the pretty arched gate.

Wait a minute... is there room for the photographer in there??
I saw a sign inside a Gap window that said "EMBRACE" so I grabbed Natasha & said "hug someone!"
