Traditional Maharashtrian Maternity Portraits
I help you honour your roots during this special journey. From classic Paithani sarees and authentic jewellery to traditional gajra setups, let's create portraits that celebrate your culture.
A proud portrait of a couple celebrating their Maharashtrian roots. The rich red saree, the groom's traditional jacket, and the classic studio backdrop come together beautifully.
I love combining our traditions with the beauty of nature. This mother to be is adorned in a stunning saree and delicate floral jewellery for her outdoor Dohale Jevan photoshoot.
A moody and atmospheric portrait. The traditional Khan saree, the nath, and the gentle smoke from the lantern create a vintage, soulful look that is full of meaning.
This portrait captures elements of a traditional Dohale Jevan or baby shower ceremony. The gajra in her hair, the plate of fruit, and the festive background celebrate this important milestone.
This video highlights a beautiful traditional maternity session. It shows the elegance of the green Paithani saree, the intricate gold jewellery, and tender moments with her partner.
This reel includes some beautiful shots of a traditional maternity look. You can see the mother to be in a classic blue saree, holding a photo from her past, connecting generations.
About Celebrating Maharashtrian Heritage
For these sessions, I provide the traditional attire—including authentic Nauvari or Paithani drapes and classic jewellery like the nath and thushi—so you do not have to worry about the setup. We balance these traditional elements with comfortable, natural poses, ensuring you feel at ease while we document this meaningful chapter of your life in my Vashi studio.
Honouring Your Roots
There is something special about connecting your pregnancy journey to your heritage. Whether it is a traditional Dohale Jevan (baby shower) inspired theme or a simple, elegant portrait in a rich Paithani, these photos are about more than just aesthetics. They are about majha abhiman—my pride in our culture—and creating images that you can show your child one day as a piece of their own history.
What to Expect During the Session
- Wardrobe & Styling: You do not need to buy expensive outfits for one day. My collection includes various traditional drapes and heavy imitation jewellery that we can style to match your preference.
- Conceptual Themes: I love working with props that tell a story. Think lanterns, fresh flower garlands, traditional copper plates, or heirloom family items you might want to include in the frame.
- Relaxed Pace: Pregnancy can be tiring, and I completely understand that. If you need to sit, have water, or just take a moment to breathe, we pause. We only shoot when you are feeling good, so your joy really shines through in the final edits.
Location & Planning
Most of these heritage-themed shoots happen in my Vashi studio, where I can control the lighting to make the colours of the saree and the gold of the jewellery pop. However, if you have a special outdoor spot in Navi Mumbai that feels close to home, we can plan an outdoor segment to mix the traditional look with natural, airy backgrounds.
Whether you are looking for a few quick, high-quality portraits or a full-day experience with multiple outfit changes and a cinematic reel, my packages are designed to be flexible. Let’s talk about what makes your journey unique and build a concept around it.
