<br />
it was on this day, 42 years ago that the start of the occupation of Wounded Knee took place. it was six years ago that i was in graduate school in vermont that i was tasked to find a "conflict" that i wanted to do a case study on for my MA in Conflict Transformation. i was talking to my dad about it and he told me that "because you have always been so passionate about Native Rights, you should consider Wounded Knee 1973". i dove in to this time in our history, read as many details as i could, searched high and low to find the most accurate information. i scoured the internet for photos, and one thing kept coming up for me, over and over again - i'd go to sleep at night and i could literally feel the power, the passion, the pain; i know it sounds strange but it was pulsating through me, my heart was so open and so broken and so angry and so sad. i couldn't stop thinking about it, the Struggle the Lakota have been through, the battles fought, the countless dead, the warriors who triumphed. i was never able to shake Pine Ridge from my being. for the next year it was so much of what i thought about, thinking how could i help, what could i do, as an outsider, someone who has never been there before, what would be appropriate and selfless.<br />

<br />
flash forward six years, i am in los angeles at four in the morning feeding my seven week old son and a friend from Pine Ridge posts photos of facebook with the caption "never forget". i sat there in the dark, with tears streaming down my face, my heart beating out of my chest, feeling all too much. i missed being in south dakota so much, i missed my Lakota family and friends, i missed the power and the strength and the spirit and the laughter. i missed doing something i believed in so strongly. i missed being of service and helping fight a fight that i believe is my own as well. i know i'm not Native American - nor do i ever pretend to be and i don't get it twisted - but this fight is mine too, and always has been. this fight is all of ours, no matter your skin color. we all have a overwhelming responsibility to honor and respect the Native Americans, the ones that were here first, the ones that we took from and now pretend don't exist except in movies or as mascots. we all have a huge responsibility to speak out in our circles, raise awareness of the struggles and of the oppression, the continuing abuse and systematic and structural racism. we all have a responsibility to one another as members of the HUMAN RACE to do whatever we can to stop this cycle of abuse and stand up and speak out against it. keep educated, help educate others, talk about it, be of service. pass the real stories on to your children.<br />

i went and looked at my photos again today, the ones i pulled off the internet years ago, before i moved to south dakota, before i worked with a Native advocacy org doing healing and community organizing, before i collected stories of the people of Pine Ridge for nat geo with aaron huey with an honor and humility i cannot describe in words, and now i'm here in los angeles on the eve of the anniversary of the beginning of the occupation of Wounded Knee and i feel all the feelings and have nothing to do with them but write on my blog after retiring it a year ago, resurrecting it to share with those that will listen, that They are still here, They are not invisible, They are my heroes and the Warriors, my heart beats alongside theirs and i will never stop fighting the in the best way i know how to honor a people that are of the most beautiful, generous, graceful, hospitable, unapologetic, eloquent, strong, hilarious people i have had the blessing of living with and learning from.<br />

you may have noticed that lately i've been obsessed with shooting faces in flowers ... i find it's a way for me to be close to nature whilst drowning in the bustle of big city life. and lucky for me, my dearest friend Anyssa came to LA this past week, and if you know LA, you know that there is always flowers in bloom all over the city - all sorts of varieties and colors. so for a couple of days, we drove around scouting for the prettiest flowers and then shot one another's portraits in them. this is just one of the reasons why i love LA - there are always bright, beautiful flowers in bloom. and this is why i love Anyssa - she is always down for taking photos, no matter the time, nor the place. i adore this series of us in nature - these bright, vivid flower bushes - all over LA. </div>

^ we came upon this last series of shots when i took Anyssa out to Malibu. the bougainvillea is so other-wordly. Anyssa commented that the photo of me looks like i'm on a cloud of flowers, it truly does look this way, and she, a angel on earth. we felt transported to a magical land that only exists in fanciful dreams full of magic and beauty.<br />
<br />
some of these will make their way over to my lovely new <a href="http://laylisamimi.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">website</span></a>, come take a peek soon!SAMIMI-EXTREMIEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508320417730320971noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414642508695840615.post-83830726668562525442013-05-30T00:24:00.002-07:002013-05-30T00:34:36.010-07:00layli samimi photography :: ROXY + ASHKAN ENGAGEMENT SHOOT<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This past weekend we had a blast with one of the best photo shoots of all time. I shot an engagement session with my dear friends, the beautiful couple Ashkan + Roxy. when they told me they were engaged, I was over the moon, as they are such a strong, radiant couple who complement one another so very well. They make one another laugh so much, can really have a great time together and truly are the best of friends. They are getting married soon and I absolutely cannot wait. If the engagement photos prove anything about how amazing they are in front of the camera, I am convinced that the shots taken on their wedding day will be phenomenal! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We took to the streets of downtown LA for this shoot and the light was just perfection and the colors did not disappoint. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do this damn handsome couple:</div>

it had been a while since my last portrait session with my dearest amanda and i wanted to shoot something that captured one of the things that is special to amanda and i. of course coffee came to mind, the hours we spend drinking it together, the amazing friends we've met over coffee and of course how jacked we get on coffee together and by the end of our day, we're talking so loud and so fast we're yelling at one another. so we ventured over to pasadena to the awesome coffee house/ice cream float/sandwich shop called <a href="http://www.floatpasadena.com/" target="_blank">FLOAT</a>. i had heard about them from my friends at <a href="http://www.handsomecoffee.com/" target="_blank">Handsome</a> because they are brewing their beans. <a href="http://www.floatpasadena.com/" target="_blank">FLOAT</a> is fast becoming one of my favorite new spots to bring friends, enjoy a delicious cup, eat a sandwich and serve as my mobile office. amanda and i were so blown away by Iris - who is the awesome owner - by how she and her co-workers are so friendly, accommodating, down to earth and fun. i have to say that going to a serious coffee shop can at times be annoying, as we all know. some think that they have to be condescending and uptight when brewing good espresso. i have never, ever understood that. the trick is to find the place that brews the sick coffee and delivers the most hospitable and amazing service. if you live in LA, stop by and say hello to Iris and her crew. it's fun for the whole fam damily; you will not be disappointed! enjoy these special shots of my beautiful friend and Iris's beautiful shop... i also think that this might be the start of something awesome for me - shooting various portraits of people in the best coffee houses all over LA...</div>

<span style="color: #20124d;">...you may have at one time or another wondered if you could do this or if you could keep up. The truth is keeping up is not what matters, instead just do what you love. Tell the story you want in the way you think it should be told . There is no mold or formula to success. Create what you want to see, work hard, and be nice. That is it. Things come together. Everyone has their own pace because we are all individuals. We all have our time and we all have our own places in this world and community. - Megan Gigler</span></blockquote>
<br />
i have had these quotes on different "stickies" on my desktop for so darn long now and i needed to re-read them today as i am making my final internal [and external] push to get my new website and shop done. it is crazy, the battle we sometimes have with ourselves to push forward, to delve deeper, to question our beliefs, challenge doubt. i have been thinking a lot lately about the notion of success and comparing ourselves to others. i honestly feel like there is no damn good in comparing yourself to ANYone else, because you are you, nobody else is you. one of my dear friends told me once that no one has your life, no one ever will - we will never had the same life as any other - and they cannot take anything away from you- your experiences, your failures, your successes...i have been thinking a lot about this and how truly honoring yourself by allowing your art in to the world is huge. i am so blown away by musicians and other artists who constantly put themselves out there, for the world to see, their deepest feelings, fears and thoughts - always out. in, out. out.<br />
<br />
this may not resonate with you, but i was attempting to articulate why these selected quotes below are holding such a huge significance to me right now. i honestly think, what ever you want to do, do it. put yourself in YOUR light and shine, and God will be there to radiate down upon you. push through your fears and doubts - at all costs - to move forward to the great beyond.<br />

<br />
i don't know how much i have shared about my involvement as the associate producer for <a href="http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2012/08/pine-ridge/community-project" target="_blank">The Pine Ridge Community Storytelling Project</a> on National Geographic.com, but it is hard for me to talk too much about it, as the stories really speak for themselves. what i will say is that i had the overwhelming honor to work alongside, my dear buddy, <a href="http://www.aaronhuey.com/" target="_blank">aaron huey</a> and go back home to my south dakota twice this summer to collect stories for the project. to meet and re-visit with the Lakota people of Pine Ridge, i was equally humbled and inspired. i will not share with you all my experiences, it is far too extensive and deep for me to articulate in this format, and this work i hold way too close to my heart in a sacred place, but i will share with you a couple of my friends and heroes whom i was honored to listen to, to record their stories and then post them on Nat Geo. in the photo captions below, you can see some of the stories that i was able to help collect. there are many, many, manyyyyy more online and i URGE you to spend some time and listen. educate yourself and open your heart.<br />
<br />
i adore these shots, ever so much, and i'm sure because i hold this place so close to my heart - in the very depths of my soul - it will forever be woven in to the very fabric that makes up my south dakota, and fundamentally a part of who i am - the golden fields, the cotton ball clouds, the cornflower blue skies, the beautiful people with hearts of gold and fire, the struggle, the victory, the silence, the fight, the wind, the wind, the wind.<br />

<span style="color: #38761d;">I had the distinct pleasure of shooting the Nazarian family recently in the Angeles Crest Forest. This family is amazing and so full of life and laughter. Their daughter Emma was the most patient, cooperative child I believe I've ever shot - so present with me [and the camera] and so willing to smile and be so happy. Romik and Hera are the sweetest couple, so full of laughter and love. We were so happy to be up in the mountains shooting with the beautiful wildflowers and having an excellent time snapping away with this awesome family. Don't they look like fun?? I am so thankful I had the opportunity to shoot the Nazarian family! Enjoy all the fun photos. <i>To see any of the photos larger, simply click on the photo you'd like. </i></span></div>

Hey Ya'll, it is my distinct pleasure to post the much anticipated photos I shot from Kelsey + Mathai's wedding. I shot mainly film + polaroids [the polaroids, you can see in <a href="http://www.samimi-extremie.blogspot.com/2013/01/kelsey-mathai-layli-samimi-photography.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">this</span></a> previous post] and obviously digital too. There are no words to describe how much fun it is to work with these two wonderful people. There hasn't been a moment when I have been shooting them that I wasn't laughing and filled with joy, they were willing to try any shot - and as you can see, were creative with their own poses. From their <span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="http://samimi-extremie.blogspot.com/2012/11/kelsey-mathai-layli-samimi-photography.html" target="_blank">engagement</a> </span>photoshoot up until their wedding day, I have been so blown away by their love for one another, their deep friendship, calming presence and their life that will undoubtedly be filled with laughter and beautiful creative endeavors. I am honored to have been able to capture their special days through my eyes, and adore them for allowing me to do so. Enjoy. </div>

i am honored to have a talented, beautiful cousin who also has her own amazing photography <a href="http://raziphoto.com/home.html" target="_blank">business</a>. it is the best going on shoots with her & seeing what the two of us can come up with when we collaborate. during a break from the party we were shooting, we were able to take some very long overdue diptychs together which i adore to no end. i just now noticed, that we both even have asymmetrical haircuts, which must be some sort of cousin photography bond, i'm sure of it. our moms would be proud. i adore my razi so very much and am so thankful that we live in the same city, bonding our family on an even deeper level - and what a better way to bond than over creative aspirations + endeavors.SAMIMI-EXTREMIEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508320417730320971noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414642508695840615.post-64731980906277569152013-01-29T20:44:00.001-08:002013-01-29T21:11:43.145-08:00KELSEY + MATHAI : layli samimi photography wedding shoot | POLAROIDS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i had the distinct pleasure of shooting not only kelsey + mathai's <a href="http://samimi-extremie.blogspot.com/2012/11/kelsey-mathai-layli-samimi-photography.html" target="_blank">engagement photos</a>, but also polaroid & analog photography for their beautiful wedding. the wedding took place at the silverlake reservoir in late december, overcast and dreamy. their ceremony was so full of love and light, joy and peace. at one point during the ceremony i looked up at the sky and saw a huge flock of birds flying, circling above the wedding ever so gracefully - they circled the entire ceremony, as a blessing - confirming on a whole other level this amazing union of theirs [and their families] and how the world is so fortunate to have a team as beautiful, strong, loving, funny and thoughtful as these two love birds. </div>

my oldest friend, literally, my oldest friend [19 years], leif is here in LA visiting us. his AMAZING super righteous canadian band <a href="http://rahrahband.com/" target="_blank">RAH RAH</a> is on the last leg of their US tour and we've been able to spend loads of time with he and his bandmates. if you haven't listened to RAH RAH, please do it now. they're super good, kinda country, big time rock. we've been all over the world together - canada, alaska, israel, washington, now LA.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
leif and i met at Baha'i camp when I was 12 and he was 13 in the Yukon Territories. Since then, we've kept in constant touch and stayed the closest of friends. there's something really special about having a friend that has known you more than half your life, a friend that no matter the year or what we're going through, relates, understands and connects. we've never skipped a beat, always been able to relate, through our tastes in music, our humor, our Faith, our personalities. and now, he has an amazing wife and me and awesome husband and i couldn't be happier that leif and baktash have fallen so in love with one another!</div>

in two days it'll be his 32 birthday and i am so happy that we'll get to celebrate it together. here are some super fun photobooth shots of all of us having a great time together. </div>

They will be getting married at the end of the year and I was so pumped when they asked me to shoot their engagement photos! We had such a blast that we stayed long past sunset in the Angeles Crest Mountain Range, shooting with flashes and having all sorts of fun. I adore these photos, as I adore these two people. They are a beautiful couple filled with light, laughter, joy and humor. Couples who can have fun together are the strongest couples, I say. Three cheers for Kelsey & Mathai and their extremely bright and beautiful future together. I also shot polaroid & 35mm film shots - which will be coming very soon. keep your ears & eyes out for those stunners. All my love!!<br />
