About Pet Photography
Why I Do This
Your pet isn’t just a model to me - they’re family. I want to capture those little moments: the silly faces, the soft looks, the wild zoomies. My camera’s just a tool for freezing the real stuff that makes your bond special.
How I Shoot
I offer two ways to tell your pet’s story:
- Studio Portraits: Clean backgrounds, classic lighting, and all the focus on your pet. I set up everything before your pet arrives so they feel safe. We can go for timeless shots or get playful with colors and action - whatever suits their vibe.
- Outdoor & Lifestyle Shoots: We hit Mumbai’s parks or your favorite hangout. I love mixing pets into family or maternity shoots - those candid pet portraits with a paw in your lap or a nose in your hand. It’s about catching you both just being yourselves.
What Makes My Shoots Work
- I get down to their level, literally.
- Patience is my superpower - we go at your pet’s pace.
- Toys and treats? Always in my bag. Keeps them happy and focused.
My Heart for All Paws
I’m a dog parent myself, so I get it. I’ve got a soft spot for Indies and rescues - rescue dog photography is something I truly care about. Every pet’s story matters, and I’m here to help you tell it.

My Story
Hey, I'm Vrutika - born and raised in Mumbai, can't imagine living anywhere else. This city’s got energy, chaos, and magic, and I’m always chasing it with my camera. You’ll spot me at sunrise near the Gateway or wandering some random lane, just soaking it all in. My dogs are my best buds, and they keep me grounded. For me, photography isn’t just work - it’s catching real moments, the messy, beautiful ones.
