I photograph families outdoors or at home using natural light, capturing real moments and candid interactions instead of posed shots.

About

What I Do and Why

For me, family photography is about freezing a real feeling, not just a pose. I want you to look at your photos years from now and feel that same laughter, warmth, and chaos. I chase natural light—think golden-hour sun or that soft morning haze—and I love using nature or your own home as our backdrop.

How Sessions Feel

No stiff posing or forced smiles here. I keep it chilled out and light, sometimes saying something simple like "thoda bahar jaana" (step outside a bit) just to catch the perfect light. If the kids get muddy or hair gets messy, that's totally fine—those moments are real life.

Where We Shoot

  • Outdoors in parks, forests, or open fields for that timeless, natural vibe. This is where candid family portraits come alive.
  • At your home, especially for newborns or if you want that cozy, everyday feeling, with natural light streaming in.

What I Capture

  • Outdoor family photoshoot ideas that keep things playful and relaxed
  • Generational family photo session to celebrate all ages together
  • Candid sibling hugs, maternity moments, and even pets who are part of the gang
  • Simple themed shoots if you want something a bit different

What You Get

Every session includes my time, pro gear, and a lot of heart in the editing. I spend hours making sure your photos have that soft, soulful look. You end up with images that aren't just for today, but for decades to come.

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.
