  • We are not comfortable, What if we are awkward in-front of the camera..
    I am a Hybrid shooter ( photos & film simultaneously. You wouldn't know what's happening I shoot on SILENT mode. Which means no click sound. We have a lot of conversation and I ease you into it..
  • How do I plan our Family Session
    Imagine the ideal day you wish to spend with your kids doing what they love. That's it ! Families give me a small list of favorite things to do together - Our hanging out time in living room - When I read to my kid - The way my baby looks at me while he/she smiles - The way me and my partner argue over little things Note: Its the way you see your family, As every family is different hence stories are different.
  • Is storytelling photos right for me and my family ?
    If you are looking for something more meaning full no matter if you are still dating or soon to be parents, storytelling photos are way to cherish your today. Note : If my work evoked bit of an emotion this is right for you, If you looking for Props and glamour, may be not the right photographer for you.
  • We are awkward in front of the camera / Camera shy .. how does it work then?
    Well a stranger is right in front of you asking you to relax and romance with smiles. Lol you are obviously going to be awkward and shy. ( Not if you are pro in modeling than that's a different case ) Well I felt and still feel terrible when it comes to camera on my face, you'll see me covering my face like below.. Hence my solution is to do it on stealth mode, I shoot in silent mode ( without a CLICK sound ) move around a lot and TALK TALK TALK just like you having a chai with me. When you start feeling weird, I walk away and give breaks.. a lot of them.. or just hang around and get to know you. Each session depends on my clients, some wish for silence and some want me to talk. Well silent understanding I do what's required.
  • Husband is reluctant , How do we get family photos
    You are not ALONE !!! trust me not that.. a lot of mums face this. 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. ( worst case scenario )
  • Put on a lot of weight with child birth, Not sure if I would look good
    Let me tell you this, I have put on 40 Kgs during pregnancy and I know exactly how it feels !! But our kids love the way we are and wish to remember it just the way it is. TIME is limited and our reasons will always vary. - Wait for loosing those extra weight - Wait for re-decor to be done - Wait for a special occasion Well life doesn't wait and TIME is the most precious thing we have. So its NOW ! and I mean it !
  • My Kid is very shy and doesn't like photoshoot
    8 out of 10 Kids hate posing, feel awkward infant of camera and wish to be left alone with their toys. In the age of Phone photos being overdone, last thing is forcing them to take some good photos. I DO NOT POSE KIDs NO FORCING what's so ever All sessions are KIDS LED, means they get to do whatever they wish. - Let them make a mess - Let them plan the session - Make it all about what your kid loves to do - Work on making real memories
  • Do you do brand shoots / commercial
    Love working with brand dealing with motherhood products Sample film for Kids clothing brand
  • Work with NGO's
    Would love to work with NGO's Documentary film for special school in Baramulla
  • Where will the shoot take place
    Place were you are most comfortable You home Favorite Cafe Beach Train / Metro Garden Places which you usually wish to visit while spending time with your partner.
  • We are shy couple and do not like posing, How does it work ?
    You will be on a date and I will just be third wheel who follows around. Shoot will be on silent mode ( you wouldn't know when I click ) Once you are comfortable will be using few prompts ( not posing ) example, 'Can you walk to that place' ,' hold your hand' etc keeping your comfort the utmost priority.
  • Whats the cost of Birth photography
    Different cost for planned and natural birth due to the nature of it. Starts from Rs.35,000 for planned birthing and Rs.60,000 for natural birth. Only after discussing in detail quotation will be shared as many things are involved ( Hospital permission, Any medical complication etc )
  • We want Newborn Baby photos in hospital right after birth
    Will be coming in with first 48 hours after baby's birth to capture the moments between family and newborn baby. It will be my endeavor to reach there as soon as possible, but due to the nature of natural birth being unpredictable 48 hours of window is promised to make necessary arrangements.
