Let me start of by saying this family is by no means fat:) but their spirit and closeness reminded me of the wonderful family in “My big fat Greek wedding” and the ladies in this family can give the Kardashian-looks a run for their money!  Mahya was a colleague of mine for a short period of time but I loved her personality and vibe and always thought that I would love to photograph her.  Just before the December holidays she contacted me and asked me if I would be available to do a family shoot for them as her family were visiting from Iran.  I really enjoyed this shoot and this West Coast beach setting was the perfect backdrop for this striking family.
