About Maternity: The Journey to Motherhood
Yes, your fur baby is part of the family, and they belong in the frame. I specialize in capturing the connection between you, your partner, and your pet, without forced poses or stiff directions, just the real, quiet joy of your life as it is right now.
Your Story, Your Way
Pregnancy is a powerful, fleeting chapter. My approach is to move away from the traditional, overly posed maternity shoots and focus on the raw, authentic emotion of this time. Whether you choose a classic, elegant studio session or a relaxed, natural light shoot at home, the focus remains on you.
The Studio Experience
Based in Kurla, my studio is a controlled, clean, and comfortable space. It is perfect if you are looking for classic, timeless images. We can play with lighting and shadows to create intimate portraits, or go for a brighter, minimalist aesthetic. This is also where I often host pet-inclusive sessions, ensuring a safe and calm environment for your furry family members to feel relaxed.
Outdoor & In-Home Lifestyle
If you prefer a more documentary style, I love shooting in familiar settings. In-home sessions capture the quiet, cozy moments before the baby arrives, while outdoor locations like parks or beaches provide a backdrop that feels more organic and open. These sessions are about movement and interaction, not stiff posing.
Practical Planning
- When to book: The best time for your maternity shoot is usually between 28 and 34 weeks, when you are comfortable and your bump is perfectly round.
- What to wear: I recommend outfits that make you feel beautiful and confident. Whether it is a gown for the studio or casual denim and whites for a lifestyle shoot, we will discuss styling well in advance to ensure the photos reflect your personality.
- Inclusivity: From partners to grandparents and pets, everyone who is part of your support system is welcome to be part of the session.
