Family photography sessions are meant to capture precious moments of a family – together. As a family photographer, I adopt a documentary approach, where I photograph quietly from a distance, while life goes on per usual. Click here to read more about this approach.
I take on family photography assignments in Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida (the NCR region). While we discuss the location of the shoot to select a suitable spot, I usually recommend choosing a slightly largish area (a garden/park) where the kids can be free to play around and be themselves. If all members of the family are grown up, then any location would be suitable, as long as there’s some natural light and a bit of prettiness around. I mostly travel across Delhi NCR to whenever my clients are and we usually do the shoot somewhere close to their house. Of course, if the kids are up for it, we plan a fun day out at amazing locations like the Lodhi Gardens, Nehru Park in Chanakyapuri etc. and have a ton of fun at the shoot!
The whole idea about my family photoshoots is that they’re casual in nature. There are not going to be excessive props, or instructions to people to do certain things. I capture everybody’s natural emotions and expressions, and freeze those moments when they’re in their element. I make sure I get the best angles and the most flattering photographs. We basically make a picnic out of it, and photograph those moments of joy, laughter, craziness and preserve this precious phase of a family’s life.
In order to get familiarised with the kids, I make sure I spend some time getting to know them, and letting them feel comfortable around me. It’s amazing what just a 5 minute bonding interaction can do! It can forge a new relationship. It helps that I don’t come with artificial studio lights or bulky equipment. I keep it clean and simple so that we can focus on what’s important – having a good time and capturing those good times!
Every family photography session also involves capturing the kids’ interactions with the parents and vice versa. This is a very important part of every session and I make sure that I get the best out of this. I also get a few couple shots in there and a few solos as well (depending on how the shoot progresses!).
My family photography shoots are all about having fun (for the kids AND the parents!), to sit back, and just be yourselves, while I quietly preserve those precious moments.

How it Works & FAQs
1. What do we need to do to prepare for the family photography session?
Once you book your session with me, I will be guiding you on what to wear, and what to do before and during the session. The session will be centered around yours and your little ones’ comfort zone. We will take our time and patiently, carefully create artistic pieces for enjoyment in perpetuity.
2. Where will the family photography session take place?
Depending on the age of your kid(s)/baby, we would be shooting either at your place (suitable for families with newborns and babies under 3 months of age), or outdoors at a nearby park or one of the more popular parks in Delhi/Gurgaon, or both! This is something we would discuss in our pre-shoot consultation and decide basis your vision and your baby’s age.
3. I have noticed there are no props in your photos. Why is that?
I do not have a cookie cutter approach to photographing people’s lives and memories. I believe that every person (and family) is unique and I focus on creating timeless photos which capture the essence of your family’s story.
