Hello! Thank you for visiting my blog. \u00a0My name is Asiya Khaki and I am a passionate photography. \u00a0My business, Photography by Asiya, was started in 2009 and offers newborn, portrait, and wedding photography\u00a0to client’s living in\u00a0New Jersey and New York.<\/p>\n
Most days, I photograph newborns. My love for\u00a0newborns began when I was a child. Being third born, I always wanted my mother to have another baby so I could help raise the baby and love it to pieces. My mother never had another baby and in some ways I think this made my love for newborns and kids only grow stronger.<\/p>\n
When I graduated from Barnard College, Columbia University with a double degree in Architecture and Middle Eastern and Asian Studies, I knew I wanted to become a photographer. \u00a0Photography was always a passion of mine. Instead of looking for jobs pertaining to my majors, I began working in a few hospitals across the tri-state photographing newborns right after they were born. \u00a0I also began photographing weddings \u00a0and family portraits at this time.<\/p>\n
As a photographer, I love making people feel comfortable in front of the camera, and taking\u00a0images that truly make them look their absolute best. \u00a0For me, photo shoots and photography are about taking time to pause and to enjoy a moment. The process of taking photographs is an experience in itself; a time to enjoy a special life event or milestone and enjoy stillness in the busyness that is life. I see magic and beauty everywhere I go and in every person I meet, and the photographs I take try to capture that special something that is always present.<\/p>\n
I feel so incredibly honored and blessed every time I photograph a special milestone in someone’s life, whether it be an engagement, a wedding, a maternity shoot, a newborn session, or milestone shoot as a child grows up. The photographs I take encapsulate moments that never come back. \u00a0They are life’s most precious moments and through the photographs I take, some of the magic is kept alive so many years later, those moments and that special something can somehow come back to life through the photographs.<\/p>\n
I love using natural light\u00a0as I find it is perfect in every way. \u00a0My work is clean, modern, simple, and \u00a0full creativity. \u00a0I enjoy taking feedback from clients and understanding what their unique aesthetic is so I can create images that are tailored to their vision and style. \u00a0The photographs I take are genuine, artistic, and timeless.<\/p>\n
