About Baby & Kids Photography
What I Really Do
I don’t chase perfect smiles. I want to catch that tiny scrunch of a nose, the wild giggles, the way sunlight dances on your kid’s hair. My thing? Dreamy, natural light - think “forest vibes” and open skies. If you’re after soulful, real moments, not just stiff poses, you’ll feel at home with me.
Every Stage, Every Story
- Newborns (First 3 Months): I work slow and gentle, mostly at your place, with cozy wraps and almost no posing. Those sleepy yawns and tiny toes mean everything.
- Milestones (6 Months & 1 Year): When babies start sitting up, I love taking them outside. First birthday? We can go full-on with a themed photoshoot - it’s your baby’s “One-derful” moment.
- Toddlers & Kids: Yeh log toh kuch bhi karte hain! (These kids do whatever they want!) Letting them run free outdoors gets the best, most candid toddler photoshoot moments.
- Siblings & Family: Nothing beats the real connection - the group hugs, the shared laughter. I focus on those.
Where I Shoot
- My Studio (Mulund West): Perfect for creative sets like the Krishna look or calm, Boho setups.
- Outdoor Family Photography Session: Nature’s my favourite backdrop, especially during golden hour.
- Your Home: Especially for newborn lifestyle photography at home - slow, relaxed, and comfy for everyone.
Special Touches
Love adding magic - from Krishna themes (think flutes, makhan pots) to fairytale edits with sparkles and butterflies. Boho sessions keep it earthy and natural.
My Style
You don’t need to ‘do’ anything. Bas, be yourself. I’ll handle the rest, capturing your story as it unfolds.

My Story
Hey, I’m Payal. I chase sunlight, not studio lights. My camera and I, happiest in a forest, or with the rain making everything smell fresh. I always tell moms, 'don’t pose, just be.' Aaj kal sabko studio photo chahiye, but I love messy, muddy shoes and laughs that aren’t planned. Horses, kids, monsoon mornings—yeh sab mere frames mein aate hain. Real, imperfect, nature-blessed—that’s what I want to remember.
My Work
Outdoor & Natural Light Photography - I shoot maternity, newborns, kids, families, pets, horses—always outdoors or with natural light at home.
Fine-Art & Themed Sessions - Love doing fine-art conceptual kids shoot, and Krishna-inspired baby sessions for that dreamy, magical vibe.
Nature is My Studio - No fake backdrops. Forests, fields, your backyard—real places, real moments, real mud sometimes!
Perfect for Nature-Lovers - If you’re okay with a little mess for a photo with soul, and love unscripted moments, I’m your person.
