Maternity and Newborn Photography with Pets
Bringing a new life into the world is a big deal, and your pet is often the first to know. I capture that special anticipation and the gentle, protective bond that starts the moment your pet meets your new baby.
From puppy cuddles to baby snuggles. This maternity shoot with Hugo the Golden Retriever beautifully captures the anticipation of a new arrival. I focus on the tender moments as your pet gets to know the baby bump, creating a touching prelude to their new life as a big brother.
A baby and a dog can teach you more about love than anyone else. In this newborn session, Aspen the Husky gives the gentlest kisses to his new baby brother. My approach is always calm and quiet, allowing for these natural, heartwarming moments to unfold.
Just a boy and his bestie, with a special announcement. This family session with Sumer and Ziggy celebrates their bond while also sharing the news of a new baby on the way. Including your pet in your pregnancy announcement makes the story complete.
Best friends forever, right from the start. I've been lucky enough to photograph Ollie and Aariv's journey from maternity shoot to first birthday. This image from the cake smash shows the beautiful bond between a boy and his dog.

This maternity shoot with Hugo the Golden Retriever was designed around a stunning half-black, half-white theme. Hugo provided the perfect pop of color, keeping the focus on the star of the show. It's a sophisticated and artistic take on a pregnancy announcement.
A full house filled with so much love. This lifestyle session captures a quiet moment at home with Krishiv and his two furry sisters, Bella and Trixie. Growing up with pets creates a special kind of magic, and I love documenting it.

About Growing Families: Maternity & Newborns
I don't follow a strict checklist. If your dog needs ten minutes to investigate the nursery or a handful of cheese to stay calm, we take that time. We let your pet set the rhythm so the photos feel as relaxed and loving as your home.
Whether you are planning a maternity announcement or getting ready to bring your newborn home, including your pet makes the journey so much more meaningful. My approach is entirely stress-free. I don’t believe in forcing pets to sit or stay for hours. We work around their energy. If we’re doing a maternity shoot, we might spend time in your living room or a local park where your dog feels confident. I love incorporating details that represent your style—whether that’s a traditional saree or a casual weekend look—and letting your pet naturally interact with the bump.
For newborn sessions, my priority is always the pet’s comfort. It’s a big transition for them too! I wait for those quiet, honest moments—the careful sniffs, the watchful eyes, and the gentle naps beside the baby. These photos aren't about getting the perfect look where everyone is staring at the camera. They are about the feeling of your family unit evolving.
I am based in Hyderabad but travel often to Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai for these projects. If you have a senior pet who needs a slower pace or a high-energy pup who needs a lot of treats to stay focused, don't worry. I come prepared with patience, a few tricks, and plenty of cheese to keep the mood happy. Your pet is a member of the family, and I’m here to make sure their place in your story is captured properly.
