About Maternity Journeys
My maternity sessions are built around your comfort and personal style. If you’re dreaming of an elegant, traditional saree shoot or a relaxed lifestyle session, we’ll work together to include your partner, older kids, or even your furry family members to make these memories feel truly yours.
Pregnancy is a fleeting, miraculous time, and I want to help you hold onto it. My studio in Tilak Nagar, Chembur, is fully equipped for comfortable, climate-controlled shoots, but I also love heading outdoors across Mumbai and Navi Mumbai if that’s where your heart is.
Whether you’re imagining a classic, traditional Maharashtrian saree look or a soft, candid lifestyle session, my approach is the same: no rigid posing. I guide you into positions that feel natural, focusing on the way your partner looks at you or how your older child interacts with the bump. We can use simple props or keep it entirely focused on your connection.
What you can expect during our session:
- Full Guidance: I help with poses that flatter you and make you feel at ease, never stiff or tired.
- Family Inclusion: Bring your partner, siblings, or even the dog. They are part of this journey, too.
- Flexible Styling: You choose the vibe. From elegant, traditional drapes to casual outdoor outfits, I’m happy to offer suggestions on what coordinates well for the camera.
- A Relaxed Pace: I know pregnancy can be exhausting, so we work entirely at your speed, with plenty of breaks to rest.
