Family Photography
The Crayon Studio by Shruti
I photograph families in Mumbai with relaxed, candid sessions at my Borivali studio or outdoors, focusing on real moments instead of posed shots.

About Family Photography
Why I Do What I Do
I see families change right in front of my lens. The tiny moments - the sleepy eyes, the silly faces, the hugs that come out of nowhere - they slip away before you know it. I want you to have those memories, not just the big milestones, but the everyday chaos and calm too.
How I Work
No stiff poses, no fake smiles. I believe in capturing your family as you are. If you feel awkward in front of the camera, that's totally normal. I’ll guide you gently, but mostly, I want you to just be yourselves. The best photos happen when you forget I’m even there.
- Candid family portraits are my thing.
- I look for the giggles, the quiet moments, the wild energy.
- My sessions are relaxed, so kids can run around and parents can breathe.
Studio or Outdoor - Your Choice
You can pick what suits your family vibe:
- Minimalist studio family photos in Borivali West - clean backgrounds, all focus on you. Great for newborns and little ones who need a safe space.
- Mumbai outdoor family shoot - parks, beaches, golden hour light. We walk, play, and let the city be part of your story.
Every Family is Unique
We’ll chat before the shoot so I know what matters to you. Every session is custom, because no two families are the same. These photos aren’t just for now - they’re for you to look back on, years from today.

My Story
I get to see love grow in real time, honestly, it’s wild. Some days it’s a sleepy newborn, other days a family running around, laughing in the grass. These moments? Blink and they’re gone. I remember a mom almost skipping her maternity shoot—now she clings to those photos. I want you to have memories that hit you right in the feels, even years later. That’s why I freeze these bits of your story.
My Work
Photoshoots for All Ages - I do maternity, newborn, toddler, and family sessions in my cozy Mumbai studio or outdoors.
Real Moments, Not Stiff Poses - You don’t need to pose. I guide you, but it’s about capturing your real connection.
Personalized Experience - We plan your dream shoot—messy, playful, or elegant. The studio feels like home.
Tradition-Inspired Portraits - Love mixing Indian rituals, like red bindi for 'garbha', into maternity shoot with Indian rituals.
