Maternity: Celebrating the Bump with Your Best Bud
You are expecting, and your first baby with paws needs to be part of the story. I capture the quiet anticipation and the wild, messy joy of this transition—no stiff poses, just love.

About this collection
I don't follow a rigid script because your pet sets the pace. Whether we are at home or outdoors, expect a lot of treats, belly laughs, and patience. If your dog gets restless, we just pause. My goal is to capture the genuine bond between you, your partner, and your pup before the new baby arrives, without forcing anyone to sit still or pose perfectly.
Your Family, Just As You Are
The chapter before your baby arrives is a beautiful whirlwind. Including your dog in your maternity shoot isn't just about getting a cute photo; it's about documenting your family exactly as it is right now. Whether you want a relaxed at-home session with your rescue dog on the couch or an outdoor shoot near the boulders of Hyderabad, I adapt to your comfort level.
My Approach to Maternity Shoots
- No Posing: We play games, share snacks, and keep things moving. If I need a dog to look at the camera, we use treats or a squeaky toy, not force.
- Comfort First: Indoor sessions for newborns or sensitive pets keep everyone calm, safe, and happy.
- Safety Editing: I use composite editing for leash removal, so the focus stays entirely on the connection between you and your furry friend.
- Flexibility: We take breaks for feedings, outfit changes, or just to let your dog sniff around and adjust to the environment.
It is not about perfect lighting or staying still. It is about the slobbery kisses, the protective glances, and the messy, beautiful reality of your growing family. We will work together to create memories that feel like a snapshot of your life, not a staged production.

Hi, I am Prathima. For me, pets are family, and a photoshoot shouldn't be about perfection—it should be about your real, unfiltered story. I spend my time getting down on the floor with your dog or chasing the perfect giggle, all to make sure you have memories of this time that feel exactly like how you live your life.
