About Maternity Photography
My Take on Maternity Photos
A photo has to feel alive. I don't just point the camera at your belly and call it a day. I want to catch the real stuff - the nerves, the laughter, that quiet look you give your partner. Maybe it’s something I picked up during the Pandharpur Wari - 'Wari mhanje chalna nahi, te manan vahanam asta' (it’s not just a walk, it’s a journey of the heart). That’s the vibe I bring even to maternity shoots.
Your Story, Your Style
- Want all eyes on you? We’ll go for those strong, glowing mamma shots.
- Prefer couple photos? I focus on the bond and those tiny moments between you two.
- Got a big brother or sister-to-be? The whole gang’s welcome - nothing fake, just the real excitement.
Where We Shoot
My studio in Navi Mumbai is set up for all moods – plain backdrops, brick walls, golden swing, flowers, you name it. Or, if you’re a nature person, we can head outdoors anywhere from Mumbai to Uran - parks, beaches, even a bit of gaav (village) feel. I love that golden hour just before sunset for those soft, dreamy photos.
Styling and Props
- Love gowns and flowy dresses? We’ll go all out, even dramatic flying gown shots if you want.
- Want to keep it Maharashtrian? I get it - sarees, nath, vintage looks, I’m all for it.
- Sometimes jeans and a t-shirt say it all. No pressure to dress up if that’s not you.
Announcements, Reveals, All That
If you want to make a creative pregnancy announcement or do a gender reveal, I’m here for it - newspapers, letterboards, baby shoes, whatever makes you smile.
This is your chapter. I’m just here to help you remember it, with heart. Ram Krishna Hari.

My Story
For me, photography started as just a happy escape, but everything shifted after I saw Ganesh Vanare’s Wari photos. I had to feel that energy myself. Last year, walking into Alandi temple, I met him—felt like fate, honestly. That trip made me see my art with new eyes. Wari mhanje chalna nahi, te manan vahanam asta (Wari isn’t just walking, it’s moving with your heart). That’s the soul I try to bring into every photo. Grateful, always.
