About Family Photography
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.
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.
