#143…Ayesha S. Photography

Posted in artistic, engagement, families, inspiring, toddlers, updates often, wedding

Ayesha S.’s photoblog features beautiful images of her family and her clients, but what led me to feature her lovely work was her focus and specialty of photographing Muslim weddings and brides-to-be. My hometown of Minneapolis has a growing Muslim community, (and the first Muslim congressman! Go Keith!) but I’d not thought before about the special concerns and issues that pop up while working with the devout Muslim population. I really enjoyed reading and viewing Ayesha’s words and work. Ayesha works out of the DC/Maryland/Virginia area.

And, while not related directly to Ayesha’s blog, in the spirit of encouraging tolerance and open thinking, I thought it would be fitting to share this lovely song/video from YouTube by Kareem Salama: A Land Called Paradise…

Enjoy!

I love her work, and as an expat photographer working in a muslim country I’ve found it really useful in helping to handle some of the rather different issues I have to deal with here.
