About Family & Kids Photography
Family Memories, Unfiltered
I’m Manu, and I don’t do the stiff, say-cheese photos. I want to catch the silly smiles, the chubby hands, those random hugs – the real stuff that makes your family yours. Every session is about keeping it natural, with zero pressure for perfect poses. If your toddler wants to roll around or your teenager cracks up, that’s gold for me.
How I Roll
- My studio’s in Bengaluru, but I’m always up for a shoot in a park or your own home if that’s where your family feels best.
- Safety is non-negotiable, especially for little kids or babies – clean props, comfy setups, and nothing forced.
- I guide you gently, but mostly I let your family just be. The best playful family portraits happen when everyone’s relaxed.
What We Can Capture
- Whole gang together, grandparents to the youngest.
- Just the kids, for those candid kids photography moments.
- Parent-child shots, those rare quiet ones you want to remember.
- Milestone birthday photoshoots, like first birthdays or cake smashes – messy, fun, always memorable.
- Themed shoots if you’re up for something filmy – Krishna, Radha, clouds, sunflowers, you name it.
My Style
You’ll get a mix of lifestyle family session Bangalore style – heartfelt, simple, with both color and classic black & whites. Not every photo will be perfect, but every one will feel like you.

My Story
Hey folks, Manu here. I’m that guy who loves chasing stories with my camera, mostly around Bangalore. I’m all about documenting the wild, sweet ride of parenthood – pregnancy glow, tiny baby feet, family mess and madness. I’m 34, always up for a chat, a chai, or a quick trip. For me, nothing beats holding an actual photo, not just scrolling through them. I want you to feel your memories, not just see them.
My Work
What I shoot - Maternity milestone photography, newborn lifestyle sessions, family portraits, kids’ birthdays, and cake smashes.
Comfort is key - No forced smiles or stiff poses. I keep it easy, safe, and real for babies and grownups.
Outfit and pose help - Worried about looking awkward? I guide you through everything so you feel good in front of the lens.
Studio, home, and themes - Shoot at my studio or your place. Clean props, and fun themed ideas like traditional Indian baby shoots.
Photos you can touch - I love turning moments into custom photo wall art and frames you see every day, not just on your phone.
