Celebrating You: Authentic Maternity Sessions
Your pregnancy is a unique chapter, and your photos should feel like that too. Whether you want a simple, minimal studio session or an outdoor shoot that embraces the Mumbai weather, I’m here to capture the real, beautiful emotion of this time.

About Celebrating You: Maternity Sessions
People often worry about how to pose, but honestly, the best photos happen when you’re just being you. My job is to guide you into comfortable, natural interactions so you don’t feel like you’re in a stiff, traditional shoot. Whether we’re in my Cuffe Parade studio or outside, we move at your pace to make sure you actually enjoy the experience, not just get the files.
Your Vibe, Your Rules
Pregnancy is not just about the bump; it’s about the person you are right now. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all photography. Some days you might want a studio session with soft, neutral colors and simple lighting. Other days, you might want to head to the beach or a garden, even if it’s raining, to capture that raw, adventurous side of you.
The Two Ways to Work With Me
I offer two distinct paths depending on what you’re looking for:
-
Signature Maternity Experience: This is where I come in. We work together on a personalized mood board, style your outfits (including access to my couture flying dress collection), and I shoot exclusively with you. It is a full concierge experience tailored to exactly who you are.
-
Express Studio Session: If you want a quick, clean, and professional session without the styling bells and whistles, my team handles these at our Cuffe Parade studio. It is efficient, budget-friendly, and perfect if you just want to capture the memories without the fuss.
Why Book Early?
I generally recommend scheduling your maternity session between the 28th and 34th weeks. This is usually when you feel most comfortable moving around, and the bump is beautifully prominent. If you’re planning a bundle with a newborn session, we can pencil in your dates early, which gives you one less thing to worry about when the baby arrives.
A Quick Note on Comfort
Whether it’s just you, your partner, or the whole gang, my priority is that you feel at ease. If you need a break, we take one. If the kids are having a tough day, we pivot. We’re here to document your journey, and we’ll make sure it’s a good one.
