Diwali Themed Baby Photoshoot

When we were getting ready to launch our mantra-singing plush toy, Laxmi Devi, this year for Diwali, we had our very own "ghar ki Laxmi" play the part in this adorable photoshoot. She was around 6 months old at the time so we were able to capture some really great photos of our baby girl sitting still. We created a beautiful backdrop usin garlands and accessorized with a pot (spraypainted it gold), lots of plastic gold coins, faux lotus flowers, LED tealight candles in lieu of real diyas, and of course, our very own mantra-singing Laxmi Devi plush soft toy.

If we had done this photoshoot with her when she was still an infant, then we would have definitely dressed her up in our newborn crochet set but maybe we'll save this idea for next Diwali:
