Signature Maternity Portraits in Mumbai
I am Shilpa, your photo doula. My goal is to capture the messy, beautiful reality of your pregnancy, from the soft glow of your bump to the joy of your growing family.
This is the moment to feel like a goddess. I love using flowing gowns and dramatic landscapes to capture the sheer power and beauty of your pregnancy. It’s your story, and it deserves to be epic.
There's a special warmth in the golden hour light, perfect for capturing those quiet, tender moments between you and your partner. This is the love story that started it all, just before your new chapter begins.
In my studio, you can be whoever you want to be. Here, we went for a regal, powerful look with a vibrant green drape and a golden crown, celebrating the queen that you are.
Welcoming a new baby is a family affair. I adore sessions where older siblings get to be part of the story, sharing their excitement and love for the little one on the way.
A saree is not just fabric; it’s a story of heritage and grace. I believe in weaving your traditions into your maternity portraits, creating timeless images that feel deeply and authentically you.
Sometimes, the most powerful stories are told in silhouette. This black and white style focuses on the beautiful shape of your bump and the emotional connection, creating a piece of timeless art for your family.
Let's find a beautiful outdoor spot and capture the pure joy and anticipation you share. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, so your natural smiles and laughter shine through in every photo.
From the chaos of a destination shoot in Dubai to the final, magical image. This behind-the-scenes look shows how I handle everything, so you can just relax and enjoy the experience of creating something beautiful together.
Wondering when to book your session? The sweet spot is between 28-34 weeks. This video explains why booking early helps us create the most beautiful, relaxed, and magical experience for you.
What’s better than one glowing mama? Two! Sharing this incredible journey with a friend is a unique bond, and I love capturing that shared joy and excitement in a fun, memorable shoot.
About Featured
When you arrive at my studio in Malad, you will find a rack full of maternity gowns, from ethereal tulle to classic silks, ready for you. We pick the style that matches your mood, whether you want a soft bohemian vibe or a bold, regal look. I guide you through every pose, so you never have to wonder where to put your hands or how to stand. My job is to make sure you feel empowered and comfortable while we capture your story.
Your Journey, Your Story
Pregnancy is a whirlwind of emotions, and my approach as your photo doula is to provide a space where you can just be yourself. Whether we are in my Malad West studio or out by the sea, I focus on capturing the connection and the raw feelings of this time. It is not just about the bump, but about the story you are starting together.
Where We Shoot
- Studio Sessions: My studio in Malad is a creative sanctuary. We can explore everything from minimalist black and white portraits that focus on your silhouette to creative, themed sets like Goddess or High Voltage. It is private, comfortable, and we take our time.
- Outdoor Sessions: For those who love the elements, we can head to a Mumbai beach or garden during the golden hour. The natural light adds a layer of warmth that is hard to replicate, and these sessions are perfect for capturing interaction with nature.
Practical Details for Your Session
- When to Book: I recommend planning your shoot between 28 and 34 weeks. This is the sweet spot where your bump is beautifully visible, but you still feel light and comfortable enough to move around.
- Involving Family: Partners, siblings, and even friends are welcome. These sessions are for you, and if having your loved ones there helps you feel more at ease, bring them along.
- Posing & Guidance: If you feel awkward in front of the camera, do not worry. I provide styling consultation and physical posing demonstrations, using gentle prompts and, occasionally, a few 'kitne pyaare lag rahe ho' to keep things light and natural.
Everything I do, from fabric draping to choosing the right lighting, is designed to make this experience feel like a celebration of your journey.
