Santosh Ranal Photography

About

I’m Santosh, and honestly, nothing beats capturing people’s real stories. Maternity and family shoots are close to my heart - the emotions, the little moments, all that raw love. Pregnancy especially, it’s pure magic to photograph.

How I Shoot

• My style is super candid - I’m not big on stiff posing. I want you laughing, hugging, doing your thing, so the photos feel like you.
• All shoots are outdoors, mostly in and around Bangalore. I look for places with natural beauty, like green forests or open fields - they just make everything pop.
• Outfit changes? Totally cool. Flowing maternity gowns, sarees, casual looks - whatever makes you feel comfy. We’ve done it all.
• Props are fun if you want them. Stuff like cute signs or little shoes to add a personal touch.

More Than Just Maternity

• I also cover baby showers, focusing on all the small rituals and candid reactions. If you’ve got other family milestones like naming ceremonies or birthday parties, I’m there for those too.
• For baby showers, I really try to capture the joy and tradition in real, unscripted moments.

What To Expect

• You’ll get high-res, edited photos with a natural vibe.
• There’s also a short video reel - perfect for sharing your story with friends or family.

I usually work with makeup artists who know how to keep things simple but beautiful, so you can just relax and be yourself. My main goal? To help you remember these days exactly as they felt.
