Why I Do What I Do

I don't just snap pictures - I chase the stories your animals carry. My camera is happiest outdoors, soaking up golden sunlight or the chill of a misty morning. I’m all about those real moments - the silent strength of a horse, the wild happiness of a dog, the bond you have with your pets.

Horses: My Soul’s Work

Being a rider myself, I get horses. I never force them to pose or stand stiff. Instead, I spend time with them, let them warm up to me, and capture their true spirit. Especially with our Indian breeds like Marwari and Kathiawadi, I love working in natural settings that give every photo a bit of magic and heritage. Sometimes it's a rain-soaked forest, sometimes a field glowing at dusk.

Your Pet, Your Family

Pets are our first babies, yaar. Whether you want outdoor pet portraits or a cozy studio vibe, I capture your bond in a way that feels true. Think maternity shoots with your dog, baby-and-pet sessions, pet birthday themes, or whole family portraits (paws, tails, the lot). My studio’s in Mulund, but honestly, the best candid animal photography happens outside.

How It Feels

No stress about perfect poses. I keep things simple, maybe say, "Thoda bahar jaana, good, good" to guide you gently. The magic is in the messy, joyful, or quiet real moments. My aim is to catch your story, not just a pretty smile.

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.
