About Mentorship for Newborn & Maternity Photographers
Why I Started This
I remember feeling a bit lost when I jumped into newborn and maternity photography. It's creative, but also pretty overwhelming - client calls, awkward shoots, feeling unsure about my work. That’s why I set up this mentorship. I wanted a space where we can talk about the real stuff, not just pretty pictures.
What My Mentorship Feels Like
I think photography is so much more than settings or gear. It’s about timing, empathy, and building trust - all those tiny moments that make a photo feel alive. My approach? Mix of practical and soulful. We focus on craft, but also on how to actually run a business that doesn’t burn you out.
How We Can Work Together
- In-person workshops at my Bangalore studio for real hands-on learning. We’ll go deep on things like newborn posing and safety mentorship, advanced maternity shoot lighting tips, and creating images that stand out.
- Online courses if you prefer learning at your own pace. You’ll get frameworks for marketing, client experience, and building your confidence.
- The Inner Circle, our yearly membership, is where you’ll find community support for maternity photographers, monthly live sessions, Q&As, and resources so you don’t get stuck alone.
Who This Is For
If you’re just starting, want to refine your style, or need help making your biz sustainable, I’m here. No faking it - just honest advice and a real community.

My Story
Hey, Amrita here. Coffee in hand, camera in the other. I started Mommy Shots Academy during lockdown, just me chasing a dream and figuring out how to help creatives like you (and me) survive the hustle. Trust me, I know that mix of passion and self-doubt. I wanted a place that felt like family, not just another course. For me, it’s always been about real moments, real connections - not just fancy edits or chasing likes.
My Work
Photography Mentorship & Training - I teach maternity, newborn, and child photographers through online and in-person sessions, including newborn photography bootcamp and masterclasses.
Hands-On Practice - My bootcamps are all about hands-on posing techniques, real feedback, lighting, and wrapping tricks so you’re ready for any shoot.
Join a Creative Community - You get more than a class - you join our creative photography community, a safe space for sharing, growing, and asking anything.
Build Your Photography Business - I help you move beyond just a portfolio - learn pricing, branding, and how to create a client experience that lasts.
