Wedding in H Hotel | Matt and Ash
I had an illusion that I would be able to finish a lot of pending jobs and post a lot of blogs during the last Ramadan…there were no weddings to shoot and lesser working hours means I would have a lot of help at home. Unfortunately, I was tied up with household chores and taking […]
The MelRish Studio – God’s Amazing Gift
When things don’t go our way, when you have faith, it is amazing how God reveals His plans and His plans are way better than ours. (Like these photos, who would think this place will be called home) I took engineering in college (because I dreamed to be a rich engineer working in a tech […]

First Days – School and A Gratitude Challenge
Last week Khloe started school. We are proud parents because she was an excited bumble bee. She woke up early and finished her breakfast and milk happily.

Summer Holiday Fun and School Blues
Summer holiday is officially over and my little Khloe is going to start school next week. We had a test run last year with nursery in which she only attended 2 days a week. Now she will be gone five days a week…which makes me feel the empty nest blues already. I think all moms […]
