About Portrait & Lifestyle Photography

What I Capture

I’m all about telling real stories—those tiny, in-between moments that say much more than a big pose ever could. It’s the goofy giggles at home, the quiet hugs on a hillside, or the chaos of a first birthday with cake everywhere. I want your photos to feel like actual memories, not just pretty pictures.

Moments I Love

Kids & family: Candid family photography is my jam. Messy hair, real smiles, sometimes total chaos—love it all.
Couples & anniversaries: Whether you’re playful, filmi, or just want those natural light couple session vibes.
Maternity: Storytelling maternity shoots in the hills, with the landscape as a backdrop to your journey.

My Style

Think cinematic lifestyle portraits—moody, a bit dramatic, lots of feeling. I use natural light, sometimes even when baarish (rain) ruins the view and kuchh nahin dikh raha (nothing is visible). That’s part of the story for me.

Where I Work

Home is Himachal—Shimla, Manali, Dharamshala. I know these mountains, the moods, how the light changes in five minutes. But I’ll travel anywhere. Goa beach, city rooftop, jungle trek—bolo, I’m ready.

Bring Your Ideas

Got a crazy idea? Vintage car, picnic in the forest, big baraat entry—let’s do it. I work with good local stylists and makeup artists, so we’ll sort out the details together.

My Story

I’m not just clicking photos, I’m chasing stories—sometimes in the cold wind of Shimla, sometimes with music playing in Manali. I love the quiet moments, the real ones, like a stolen glance or a laugh nobody saw coming. Every pre-wedding shoot or bridal portrait, for me, is a new chapter. I teach this too, hoping others catch the magic in those fleeting seconds.
