Behind the Lens: How We Capture Your Family’s Story
Curious about what a session feels like? Take a peek behind the scenes to see how I combine comfort, safety, and a little bit of magic to document your milestones.
Hearing from clients after a shoot is the best part of my job. In this video, a new family shares their experience, from their initial worries about safety to their happiness with the calm and composed session.
About Behind the Magic: My Process & Your Stories
Safety is the core of my studio sessions, especially with little ones. Whether it is a newborn who needs extra care or a toddler who is not quite in the mood, I always have a dedicated safety assistant on set to ensure everything stays calm and composed while we capture those fleeting, beautiful moments.
The 'Photo Doula' Approach
Photography is about more than just a camera; it is about holding space for your family to be themselves. I call myself a 'photo doula' because I want to nurture the experience as much as the result. Whether you are coming to my Malad West studio or meeting me for an outdoor shoot in Mumbai, the goal is always the same: a relaxed environment where you don't feel like you are posing.
Prioritizing Safety and Comfort
If you have ever worried about how a crying baby or an energetic toddler might impact a shoot, please know that I have seen it all. I keep the energy chill and unhurried. My studio sessions are private and designed to move at your family's pace. We use gentle, encouraging words like 'pakdo' to keep kids engaged and relaxed. Having a professional safety assistant on set means you can focus on cuddling your baby while we handle the lighting, posing, and adjustments.
Why Families Choose Us
- No Rushing: I dedicate up to 3 hours for studio sessions to accommodate feed times and tantrums.
