About Maternity Photography
I’m Chitra, and I use my camera to tell real stories about this special time of life. It’s not about posing perfectly or making everything look flawless - it’s about capturing the natural connection and those unguarded moments you’ll want to remember.
What to Expect
My studio in Mumbai is set up so you feel comfortable, even if you’re camera-shy. I’ll guide you, but I won’t make you do anything that feels forced. The vibe is relaxed, with soft music and lots of patience. If you’re into natural maternity portraits or want something more dramatic, we’ll figure out what suits you best.
- Light & Airy - soft window light, elegant and dreamy
- Moody - deeper colours, more emotion
- Minimal - clean backgrounds, focus on you
- Black & White - strips everything down to just feeling
If you prefer being outdoors, we can do a Mumbai maternity photoshoot in a park or garden. Sometimes the best shots happen when you’re just walking, talking, or laughing with your partner.
Family & Styling
I really love when partners or siblings join in - it turns the shoot into a family maternity session. For what to wear, I have a closet full of maternity gowns and simple outfits. You can go glam or keep it casual, whatever feels like you.
You might feel awkward at first, but trust me, everyone does. We’ll make it work, and you’ll leave with photos that feel honest and true to your journey.

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.
