Meet the Photographer

Capturing Stories, One Click at a Time

I’m a portrait and lifestyle photographer, with a special love for natural light and minimalism. Think fresh, a little editorial, and always real. Oh — I’m also a certified yoga instructor, which probably explains my love for quiet moments and a good deep breath.

I first picked up the camera to catch the small, daily, things in my children’s lives. Moments, that we usually ignore. Somewhere along the way, I realized those little moments tell the most beautiful stories. Now, I do the same for friends, family, and hopefully, for you! If you’re looking for photos that feel like “you” — relaxed, natural, and full of life — you’re in the right place.

01. 

Fact 1

I was born and raised in Mumbai, and later moved to Melbourne for my higher education. Both cities have shaped who I am — I carry Mumbai’s vibrance and Melbourne’s deep love for good coffee.

02. 

Fact 2

Before I found photography, I explored a few different paths — interior design, IT consultant, certified yoga instructor, and yoga studio founder. Each path taught me something new, but photography is what brought me home.

Fact 3

A cup of chai and a good book — is my idea of bliss. I honestly couldn’t tell you which one I love more, but I’m happiest when I have both in hand.

04. 

Fact 4

The longest I’ve lived anywhere outside of India is South Korea. I spent 9 wonderful years in Seoul — a city I’ve lived in, loved, and still carry close to my heart.

      One of our first couple shoot was done by Maitri. Set across the picturesque Korean Palace, while we were shy and awkward, she captured some adorable candid moments, that live as memories for us even years later. She was warm, and made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Can't wait to do the next family shoot with her with my daughter now.

        I would like to recommend Maitri for her photo shooting session. We had a family spring session with Maitri. She was nice, kind and patient to all of us (including the young kids). The photos arrived fast (soft copy) and came out beautifully. Thank you so much, Maitri!
