About Maternity & Newborn Photography
What Drives Me
I’m Manali, and I’ve spent over 10 years capturing the feelings behind every photo for families. For me, photos aren’t just images - they’re little slices of zindagi (life) that hold real memories. After photographing 1800+ babies, I still chase those moments that make you pause and feel.
Maternity Shoots - Real, Not Staged
I want you to look back and remember how good you felt. Whether it’s just you, your partner, or your whole gang, we’ll plan a session that suits your vibe. Studio shoots can be simple and clean or wild with florals. If you love the outdoors, beach maternity shoots (Mumbai monsoon, anyone?) and garden sessions are always an option. For pregnancy announcements, I’ll help you get creative - think ultrasound pics, baby shoes, or signs.
Don’t know how to pose? Chill - I’ll guide you so you look natural. Candid maternity moments always win over stiff poses.
Newborn Sessions - Safe & Heartfelt
Those first weeks are magic and chaos. I’ve got the patience and know-how for newborns - safety is always first, and babies are the boss. I handle everything from swaddling to soothing, and yes, I’m ready for the messy bits too.
Shoot options: classic posed newborn portraits, relaxed lifestyle family photography at your home, or sibling shots that make big bros and sisters feel special. And I never forget those tiny details - close-ups of hands, feet, lips for timeless baby photoshoot memories.
The Vibe
I want you laughing, not stressing. If your baby needs a break, we pause. No pressure, no drama - just real moments. My style is emotional, minimal, and wholesome, with soft, neutral colours. I’m not into trends, I’m here for memories that last.

My Story
People say my photos have 'vibe' – emotional, adorable, minimal, all mixed up. I didn’t know my style for ages, but now I just chase the feeling in every shot. I’ve clicked over 1800 little humans, and it’s never just a photo for me. It’s about the memory, the giggle, the chaos at home. In a world full of AI, I stick to the real stuff. Babies don’t smile for ChatGPT, but they smile for me. That’s my thing – saving those feelings, so you remember being a new parent.
My Work
Family, Maternity & Newborn Photography - I capture emotional newborn photography, maternity shoots, sibling milestone photoshoot, cake smash photo session, and more.
Let the Baby Lead - Your baby decides the pace. If they’re playful, we shoot. If not, we chill. Comfort first, always.
Not Just Photos, It’s an Experience - I’m here as your baby’s buddy. Laughs, sibling wrangling, and real moments – not just posed pics.
Details Sorted, Options for Every Budget - From locations to props, we handle it all. Budget-friendly sessions start under 15k. Rainy beach or cozy home, we make it work.
