And here’s the BIG REVEAL!

Share this with a mother who needs pictures like these with her children.

A few weeks ago, our Whitefield studio was filled with sleepy children, tiny fingers clutching at sarees, nervous laughter, cuddles, snack breaks and mothers saying they hardly had any beautiful photographs with their children.

And today, we’re finally sharing the first edited portraits from those sessions.

Somewhere in between all the chaos of flying cookies, choosing dresses and layering make up, we managed to preserve a season of life that passes far too quickly.

One day, these children will look for photographs of their mothers. Not perfect mothers. Just theirs.

If you’re reading this, leave a thought about your own photos with your mothers in the comments.

A huge thank you to my amazing team for supporting me:

Are you also that mother forgetting to step in front of the camera?
Or are you a husband whose wife is always saying that she doesn’t have good pictures with the kids? :)

Send this to a mother who needs to be in the frame too.

Save this, so that you don’t forget to step in.

I’m opening a few Mother’s Day portrait sessions this weekend.
Quiet, intimate, and deeply personal.

📍 Whitefield
📅 April 18 & 19

Limited sessions.

Message me “MOTHER” and I’ll share details.

Most women apologise to me before I take their portrait.

She sits in front of the camera and almost always says the same thing.

“Please don’t show my wrinkles.”
“My hair has gone completely grey.”
“I’ve put on weight after the baby.”

I hear this from women who are powerful, intelligent, deeply loved. Women who run homes, raise children, carry entire worlds on their shoulders.

And yet the moment they step in front of a camera, they forget all of that.

Maybe you’ve said these things too, haven’t you?

That is where the work begins.

The careful placement of light. Turning the Godox just enough so the catchlight falls perfectly into her eyes. Watching her skin glow against the backdrop you chose. Adjusting a shoulder, softening a hand, waiting patiently for that fleeting expression that reveals who she truly is.

Then comes the moment I wait for in every session.

When she sees the photograph for the first time.

That pause. The soft intake of breath. The smile she tries to hide. The quiet realisation that she never thought she could look this way.

Great portrait photographers have always understood this power. Annie Leibovitz revealing strength in her subjects. Julia Margaret Cameron turning softness into poetry. Peter Lindbergh stripping everything away until only truth remains.

Portraiture has never been about perfection.

It has always been about revelation.

The revelation that she is still beautiful. Still powerful. Still worthy of being seen.

Perhaps the world has made her forget.

But for a moment, in that photograph, she remembers.

And here I am. Just another woman with a camera.

Helping another woman see herself again.

And just like that, my littlest boy turned 2 this week!

Sharing a few snippets of this last year that’s literally slipped through our fingers. The last picture is the oldest - just look at how much he’s changed since!

This is that sweet age where everything he utters sounds like a cube of sugar coated with honey. School is “thool” and chocolate is “toket”. But his “I tabh ooo” (try guessing it means”) truly steals your heart.

He’s obsessed with books, magna tiles and tutu (choo-choo) trains and, and doesn’t blink an eye while almost swallowing a whole banana. It isn’t surprising then that our elder son Arunoday refers to him as Curious George!

What we find the most endearing though is that he calls himself “baby” and hence everything that you’d use “I” for is swiftly replaced with “baby”. 😄

Give him a piece of fruit or “biddit” (biscuit) and he’ll be your lifelong friend, I promise.

How fast do these little things grow. Wasn’t he swaddled up in my arms at the hospital just yesterday?

Nobody tells you that one of the most painful part of parenting is letting go of their yesterdays. I’m glad I have the camera to make some keepsakes at least.

When you think of family shoots, you probably imagine little children with their parents.
But let me show you the beauty of an adult mother-daughter portrait shoot.

Aileen on her mother:

“Ayindrila, my mother, signs her canvases with an A. She is a self-taught artist who has always used her paintings of sea-scapes as a way to express herself and travel beyond the walls of her home. Her art is her companion through long, quiet days at home.

She paints to stay grounded, to find herself, and to make sense of the world around her. With me, she makes all the exceptions, because I am her favourite canvas.”

This is what I return to when I photograph families.
The idea that portraits can hold tenderness, history, and a sense of belonging.
Family shoots are for every family, to freeze time that will never come back.
