Featured Photography: Maternity, Newborn, and Family Moments
A look at my favourite frames—from dreamy maternity sessions and tiny newborn details to the playful, real-life chaos of family portraits. See the stories I’ve captured.
This dramatic maternity portrait uses a deep purple gown with a long, flowing train against a dark, textured backdrop to create a powerful and artistic image. The lighting is carefully shaped to highlight the mother's form and the richness of the fabric.
A truly special moment from a newborn family session. I captured both parents giving their baby a gentle kiss, creating a beautiful, symmetrical composition that speaks of love and protection.
Capturing the pure joy of family life. This classic family portrait with the child on dad's shoulders is full of laughter and connection, shot against a clean white background to keep the focus entirely on their happy expressions.
A beautiful solo maternity portrait featuring a stunning, layered blue gown. The clean white studio background makes the color pop, creating a bright, airy, and elegant photograph that celebrates the mother-to-be.
There's nothing quite like the bond between a grandparent and a newborn. This tender moment shows a grandfather's gentle kiss, a priceless memory captured during a newborn family photoshoot.
It's the playful, unscripted moments that often make the best memories. I love capturing the fun side of family, like this shot of a father playfully holding his child upside down during our studio session.
A candid moment from a lifestyle maternity shoot. The genuine laughter between this couple shows the comfortable and relaxed atmosphere I create, resulting in natural and joyful couple portraits.
This short video reel showcases the variety of shots from a single family session. It moves from posed portraits to candid interactions, giving you a feel for the fun and dynamic energy of my family photoshoots.
Here's a behind the scenes look at what it takes to set up a newborn home session. I bring my entire studio setup to you, ensuring professional, high quality results in the comfort of your own home.
About Featured
I look at every shoot like an engineering problem: lighting, gear, and timing have to be spot on to get that perfect, natural result. Whether I am setting up my mobile studio in your living room or capturing candid moments at a local park, I use my Canon R6 Mark ii and professional Godox lighting to ensure every image is crisp, clean, and tells your family’s real story.
Photography for me isn't just about pressing a button. It is about the prep work. If you are planning a newborn session, my biggest tip is always the same: aim for that 5 to 15-day window. This is when little ones are sleepy, curly, and easiest to pose safely.
I offer three distinct ways to shoot:
- Studio Sessions: My space in Kopar Khairane is fully equipped for those clean, classic looks. I have designer gowns for maternity shoots and various backdrops for family portraits.
- At-Home Mobile Studio: I bring the studio to you. This is perfect for newborns or busy families who prefer the comfort of their own home. I carry the lights, stands, and props—you just focus on the baby.
- Outdoor Candid: If you want something more natural, we can meet at a local park or garden. These shoots are less about posing and more about movement, laughter, and enjoying the golden hour.
Since I am based in Navi Mumbai, I travel across the Mumbai Metropolitan Area to reach you. Every session includes a pre-shoot consultation where we discuss the look you want, whether it’s a high-fashion maternity style or a simple, heartwarming family picture. My goal is to make sure you are comfortable, because that is the only way to get those genuine, joyful smiles on camera.
