We used Afshan and her mother for my Indian fusion wedding in Santa Barbara and they were…read morephenomenal, I can't recommend them enough!! Afshan helped me design the perfect bridal henna from my reference photos that perfectly complemented my different looks. She and her mother were incredibly accommodating and it was such a joy to talk with them while they were working. Both artists did incredible designs and all of our guests raved about the designs and the entire experience. The kids especially loved getting swords and flowers. We used Henna Me Beautiful to do henna for our families the day before the wedding and brought them back so they could work with guests during our Sangeet. Both experiences were truly lovely.

This review is long long overdue. Afshan provided mehndi for my wedding in Santa Barbara in October…read more2019 and I cannot recommend her enough! She not only did my designs but also then came the next day to do close family, and then she and her mother came to our garba-raas to provide designs for the majority of our guests! Afshan is so down to earth, honest, and creative. I am not your typical indian bride and I preferred more simple design with lots of negative space- she was very understanding and provided me with exactly what i was looking for. My aunts were super impressed with her ability to create masterpieces with speed without having to compromise on design. She brought a board with aftercare instructions for our friends who had not had it before. She was so sweet, and we had so much fun together! (total of 3 days of mehndi services!). She knew exactly how to time out the mehndi so that the stain was perfect on my wedding day! (we did it four days prior). Cannot thank/recommend her enough! Book her asap!

In the sea of talented photographers capturing pictures of babies, kids and families so…read morebeautifully, it is hard to decide which photographer is THE best ONE for you. I know how important pictures, later translated into memories, are for all of us who decide to hire a photographer, so I appreciate the many thoughts and considerations that go into the decision making process. Here is why I decided to hire Sarka not once, not twice but 6x now for both our kids and for our family. When you look at Sarka's pictures, you know she's got talent; and an incredibly impressive collection of props that make her photos even more unique and different. She's creative, knows her craft, has the right equipment, great eye for the perfect angle, and her pictures are just as perfect as they can be - colors, light, shadows, contrasts, and all the other technical details. However, one of the many reasons why her pictures are so perfect is something you can't see unless you are in the room with her watching her work. When you see Sarka work, you quickly realize that she loves what she does wholeheartedly. She is incredibly gentle, patient, loving, kind, warm and when working with her, you find yourself surrounded by aura of kindness, friendliness, and loving nature. The first time she held my little newborn, I almost melted. He was there, snuggled in her arms, and it was perfect. She was so sweet with him, I just sat and watched. It was beautiful. She has a way of relating to little kids and kids love her in return. Furthermore, when needed, Sarka is not afraid to get down and dirty. During one of our photo shoots, which was set on the beach, she was down on her back and on her tummy, knees and elbows, to ensure she gets exactly what she needed. Our at that time 2 year old wasn't very cooperative that day, so she got down on his level and took pictures from the level that worked for him, not from that which worked for her. I didn't believe that with his lack of cooperation, we would have any real "keepers", but when my husband and I looked at the pictures she sent to us, we both wondered when did she take those? :) That, in my mind, makes her a magician, too. :) We referred Sarka to many of our friends and they are all SO happy they too hired her. Most of them are now returning clients because they love her work and her for who she is and how easy she is to work with. I give her an A++++!
