Family is a Four-Legged Word: Candid Pet and Family Portraits
Your pets are family, so why leave them out of your biggest milestones? I capture the candid connection between you and your four-legged siblings, from baby announcements to intimate at-home portraits.
This is what it's all about: family. This beautiful couple is announcing they're having a baby, and their golden retriever is right there with them, ready to be the best big brother.
What's coming soon? A new best friend! This happy golden retriever is helping his parents make the big announcement. Outdoor sessions like this are perfect for capturing these life-changing moments.
Big brother and guard dog duties begin! This English Cream Golden Retriever and German Shepherd are ready to welcome their new human sibling. In-home sessions are great for making pets feel comfortable.
This German Shepherd, wearing his 'World's Best Bro' bandana, is looking up at his mom's baby bump with so much love. It's a privilege to be part of these family journeys.
A proud big brother-to-be! This shot perfectly captures his happy expression as he stands with his parents, ready for their family to grow.
For Mother's Day, I do simple, classic black and white portraits that focus on the bond between a mom and her fur baby. This moment with a beautiful Labrador and her flower crown is just pure joy.
A sweet kiss for a sweet senior beagle. These black and white sessions, done in the comfort of your own home, create such emotional and timeless portraits.
About this collection
I do not use forced poses or studio lights that might overwhelm your pet. For these family sessions, I prefer to work in your own home or a familiar park where your pet feels safe and acts like themselves. Whether it is a maternity shoot or a classic portrait, I follow their lead, capturing the nose boops, cuddles, and relaxed moments that show your real family dynamic.
Capturing the Bond
My sessions under this theme are focused on the quiet, everyday love between you and your pet. It is not about perfect outfits or sitting still. It is about the bond you share.
Maternity and Baby Announcements
Bringing a new human into the house is a huge transition for a pet. I love capturing this stage, whether it is a German Shepherd wearing a 'Big Brother' bandana or a Golden Retriever posing with a maternity announcement sign. We usually do these outdoors or at your home, keeping the mood light and stress-free for the dog.
Black and White Portraits
These are my favorite sessions for a reason. By stripping away the color, we focus entirely on the emotion. These sessions are usually done at home, where your pet is most comfortable. We keep the setup simple so your pet does not get distracted by gear or lights. It is just you, your pet, and the genuine, messy love you have for each other.
How I Work
- Comfort First: If your pet needs a break, we take a break. No rush.
- Location: I am based in Bangalore but frequently travel to Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad. Let me know your city when you reach out.
- Preparation: I usually ask for a bit of background on your pet's personality beforehand, so I know if I should bring treats, toys, or just extra patience.
