As a Indiranagar, Bangalore family photographer, I’m happy to photograph your kids at ANY age! It’s perfect to schedule in your weekends.
Let's me help you to document your days
Problems parents face..
It's hard to stay in the present our chaotic day to day lives as time flies by quickly and within few seconds we have to decide what we want to hold onto. We have thousands of images stored on our phones and laptops and never-ending WhatsApp images being stored among these are few which mean a lot to us such as a pic of your kids making a mess in the kitchen floor or pic of you holding your baby for the first time. But it happens that one of the parent is always missing in all of them and that’s the story of every mother documenting her kid’s childhood.
Thought of professional photoshoot itself is daunting as busy multi-tasking mothers would not want to spend our packing getting ready to be already late photoshoot where you know your toddler might poop any minute or get too tired from traveling.
My solution..
My sessions take place in the comfort of your home, making the most of the day and leaving a happy memory and planned according to you and your kid’s routine. Sessions are filled with doing all your favorite activities from jumping on the bed to quite reading time. Filled with your kids’ toys bring life and meaning to image captured. It can be making the families favorite recipe to just snuggling on the sofa. It’s all about you and your unique story to tell.

Golder hour ( one hour before sunset) is considered the best for family outdoor sessions , we start 90 before sunset and wait for the beautiful sky in backdrop to take that perfect family portrait
What to wear?
Indoor sessions - Plain whites Shirts, salwar, dresses or just to shirt and jeans is also good. Comfortable.
I will be helping you with brand recommendations and will do best with what's in your wardrobe already.
Outdoor Sessions - We choose a color pallet for the family and work accordingly.
What not to wear? Things to avoid
Matching colour, Sports t shirt with logos, they are very distracting, wordings on t shirt, distracting geometrical pattern dress.
