Birth Photography & Film in Bangalore

Birth is sacred and birth photography is way to freeze the moment you locked eyes with your little one.

Few Important things you need to know about Birth photography:

1. Its not a photoshoot !!! It's very sensitive and involves a lot of permissions from medical team.

2. Due to the nature of Birth, photographer is required to be on-call 24/7 2 weeks prior to due date and a week after if the birth is delayed.

3. As Birthing time can never be predicted, It might take 2-3 hours or 24-48 Hours. Hence photographer needs to have a back-up female photographer also available during those few weeks.

4. Birth photography is expensive

Testimonial

Durga’s work is like a breath of fresh air. She was our birth photographer, as well as a part of a family photo shoot. She gives you everything you want and more!! A lot more!!! The pictures we received from her were extraordinary. Her style is to keep it as natural as possible- to capture the right light and show the moment as is! She makes it look so effortless, yet one can see the amount of commitment and passion she works with. Thank you Durga for making us feel so beautiful and magical all at once! Thank you for being a part of some of our most intimate moments and making us feel absolutely comfortable. We wouldn’t have wanted it any other way, and honestly, so glad we’ve got all the little moments captured now.

Photoshoot & Film is too Expensive

Storytelling photoshoots are on higher side of investment than studio photography. Reason : 1. Customised according to each families story 2. Different situation and lighting every time. 3. Value of storytelling photos are higher as they show your real life and real home.
We are awkward in front of the camera / Camera shy .. how does it work then?

Most of my clients say this, So I work with families who hate posing and are camera shy. Sessions you just need to ignore me !! No posing, No forced smiles, No looking at the camera
Husband is reluctant , How do we get family photos

Solution 1 : Please let him know there will be No POSING , No Awkwardness.. If he wishes, He can just have a cup of coffee and whole session will be around that. Solution 2 : You can go ahead with motherhood session without the spouse being in it.

Our Home does not look good

Home is home regardless how it looks. Memories are made in between all that chaos and imperfection. I request parents to just make it as clutter free as possible by keeping counters empty ( you can just hide things below till the shoot ends) As long as you have a decent amount of natural light at home, we can work around it.
What do we wear

Plain clothing without designs / distractions for ladies and kids. No wordings on T shirt for men. No neons. This is to ensure focus is your expression
We live in a small city / different city, Can you do a outstation shoot

Do you shoot Events / Wedding ?

NO I avoid events with large gathering as I find kids get overstimulated, hence avoid it. And I do not shoot weddings.
