About Family Photography
What I Capture
I’m all about those real, honest moments. The quiet hugs, your toddler’s goofy grin, even the way your little one clings to your sleeve. These are memories that AI just can't fake. If you want to hold on to the tiny details - chubby cheeks, twinkling eyes, and the pure chaos of togetherness - that's exactly what I frame.
How Your Session Feels
It’s laid-back here. I keep things relaxed so your family can just be yourselves. Sure, we’ll get the classic studio family photography for your living room wall, but I’m just as much about candid family moments - the laughs, the cuddles, the bits that happen when no one's posing.
Style Choices
We’ll figure out what fits you best:
- Studio portraits for that timeless family photos look, with clean backdrops and pro lighting.
- Lifestyle family portraits set in a cozy studio environment for natural family interactions - think unscripted, warm, and real.
Little Tips
Most families like to match a bit - all-white, soft neutrals, or even denim blues. Not a must, but it does look pretty good in the final shots.
What You Get
You’ll receive a set of images in bold colour and soul-filled black & white. I want them to feel like more than photos - these are your memories, ready to frame for life.

My Story
Hey, I’m Chitra. Frames by Chitra is basically me running around Mumbai with my camera, chasing those tiny moments – a mom-to-be waiting, a sleepy newborn, families just being themselves. I’m not about stiff poses. I want you to remember how it felt, not just how it looked. Soft light, real giggles, sometimes a classic black-and-white. Even if you hate cameras, I’ll get you smiling for real. That’s my thing.
My Work
Sessions for Every Stage - I do maternity shoots, newborns, babies, kids, family portraits, and fun stuff like cake smash session Mumbai.
Timeless, Real Photos - My style is all about emotion – think natural light baby photos, boho setups, or classic monochrome.
Comfortable, Fun Experience - Photoshoots with me are relaxed, no forced smiles. I want families to make memories, not just pictures.
Details Matter - From tiny toes to dreamy looks, I use cozy props and pay attention to every little thing for timeless family portraits.
