Capturing the Real, Messy Bond Between Families and Pets
I don’t do stiff, posed photos. I capture the wild, honest, and heart-melting truth of life with your first baby with paws.
This is the moment I live to capture. Two furry siblings, Yuki and Navi, standing guard over their new baby sister. It’s in these quiet, unposed moments that you see the start of a lifelong friendship, full of protection and gentle curiosity.
From puppy cuddles to baby snuggles. This is Hugo, feeling the first flutters of his new human sibling. Maternity sessions with pets are so special because we get to celebrate the bond you already have before your family grows by two little feet.
This is what pure happiness looks like. A beautiful family enjoying a sunny day in the park, with their golden retriever Scotch right in the middle of the group hug. My goal is to capture this casual, fun, and warm chaos that makes your family unique.
A protector from day one. Aspen the husky watching over his sleeping baby brother is a perfect example of the gentle soul these big dogs can be. I focus on capturing these natural, peaceful interactions during my at-home newborn shoots.
Maternity shoots can be stylish and stunning, even with dogs! I was so excited when Kanika wanted to wear a saree. The elegance of the drape, the perfect light, and the wagging tail of her indie pup created such a unique and beautiful memory.
Let them eat cake! This is what I mean by capturing the messy, real moments. Aariv sharing his first birthday cake with his best friend Ollie is the kind of memory that will be cherished and laughed about for years to come.
The tiniest touch, the biggest connection. This close-up of baby Vyom's hand reaching out to his best friend Rio says more than words ever could. It’s these small details that tell the grand story of the unspoken bond between a child and their dog.
About this collection
I know that a shoot with pets often involves a bit of chaos—maybe a dog that won't sit still or a toddler who just wants to run. That is exactly why I don't use sterile studios with beanbags. I come to your home or meet you at your favorite park so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and free to just be themselves. If your dog is a little timid, we take it slow, using treats and patience until we get those genuine, relaxed smiles.
Whether you are planning a maternity shoot with your dog, a newborn homecoming, or an extended family session, my approach is always the same: follow the pet’s lead.
Why my sessions are different
- No Stiff Poses: You won't find me asking you to say cheese. I create space for you to interact, play, and cuddle with your pet so the joy you see in these photos feels like the joy you feel at home.
- Focus on the Bond: From the protective glares of a dog watching over a new baby to the messy laughter of a cake smash with a golden retriever, I am looking for the unspoken language between you and your pet.
- Safety First: For newborn sessions, I only shoot at your home. It’s safer for the baby and much less stressful for your pet. If your dog needs to be kept at a distance for safety reasons, I use my editing skills to create the perfect family photo without any risk.
Where I shoot
I primarily work in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and the NCR, but I love traveling for projects across India. We can keep it cozy at your house, or head to a park if your dog needs to burn off some energy. My goal is to capture your family exactly as it is—slobbery kisses, muddy paws, and all.

Hi, I’m Prathima! I live for the belly laughter, the gentle, protective nudges, and the quiet moments that prove our pets are truly our first babies. If you are looking for someone who crawls on the floor to get the shot rather than someone who tells you to stand still, we are going to get along perfectly.
