About Maternity Photography
My Approach: More Than Just a Photo
I’m all about capturing the real ehsaas (feeling) of your pregnancy. For me, it’s not about perfect smiles or stiff poses. It’s those raw, soulful moments - the kind that make you pause and remember how this felt years from now. If you love misty mornings or golden hour, we’ll probably vibe. My style is less about props, more about the heartbeat of motherhood.
Where I Shoot: Nature, Studio, or Home
Honestly, I’m happiest outdoors - chasing that forest vibe, especially during the monsoons. If you want natural, outdoor pregnancy photoshoot moments, I’m game. But my cozy home studio in Mulund West is always ready, with warm setups for those who prefer indoors. And yeah, I can come to your place too for a chill lifestyle maternity photography session.
Your Style, Your Story
Every mom’s journey is different, so I offer:
- Bohemian maternity portraits with earthy tones, macrame, flowers.
- Classic, vintage setups for simple, timeless looks.
- Artistic pregnancy photos with dreamy themes or a touch of digital magic.
- Indian saree maternity session inspired by heritage and Ravi Verma paintings.
Real Life, Real Family
Bring your husband, kids, pets - whoever makes your family yours. I keep things relaxed with gentle direction, like 'Thoda bahar jaana, perfect!' letting you just be yourselves.
What to Wear
I’ve got maternity gowns for you, but a saree or your own favorite outfit always works best. Comfort is key - you should feel beautiful, not dressed up for someone else.

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.
