Sagar + Kritika
A surprise monsoon proposal, beautiful decor, a gorgeous couple in love and rain-clouds at just the right time - we couldn’t have asked for a better setting for Sagar & Kritika’s proposal.
Liam’s 1st Birthday
Rahul & Kimberley were celebrating the 1st birthday of their son Liam and asked if I could make some family portraits and photograph the cake smash of their little one. It had been raining non-stop in Mumbai for weeks and the morning of the shoot didn’t look any better.
Rahul & Kimberley were celebrating the 1st birthday of their son Liam and asked if I could make some family portraits and photograph the cake smash of their little one. It had been raining non-stop in Mumbai for weeks and the morning of the shoot didn’t look any better. We had already talked about the kind of photos we wanted, and an outdoor location was high on the list. As the rain started to ease, we prayed for just a window of an hour to make the photos we had planned.
Thankfully, the rain Gods heard our prayers and we got to work, quickly working through our plan. Liam took a short while to warm up to me and he was posing like a champ towards the end.
That evening, Rahul & Kimberley had a cake-smash planned for Liam. Kimberley baked the cake herself and a sugar-free one at that with healthy ingredients. The main birthday cake was made by Nikkita Pereira from A Cakewalk. Do check out her page, her cakes and designs are amazing!
All photos were shot on my new Nikon Z6 using the Nikkor 85mm F1.8G and the Nikkor 24-70mm F2.8G lenses and edited on Adobe Lightroom Classic using the Two Mann DVLOP presets (Mythic Potions: Amarone).
Disha + Jigar: A Lockdown Engagement
A lockdown couldn’t stop Disha and Jigar from getting their families together and celebrating their love with a nice and small engagement at home. The pandemic has been a blessing in disguise for these small and intimate family functions and I’m really enjoying shooting them.
Hosi Cards: A home-made board game
When my friend Kirtana told me that she had made a board game as an anniversary gift for her husband Chitrang, I didn’t know what to expect. Can you even make a board game at home? What does that even entail? So, at our weekly board game night when Kitu asked me to photograph this game, I was super excited to see what she had come up with!

Safe so say, I was extremely impressed! Kirtana describes Hosi Cards as the perfect union of Chitrang’s two true loves — board games, and Hosico the cat. The rules of the game are flexible or you make your own rules or there are no rules, Kitu didn’t really make it clear. But hey, there are cute cats and the floofs and paw are adorable. What more can you ask from a board game, am I right?
All photos taken with my Fujifilm X-Pro1 and a mixture of the Fuji XF 35mm F1.4 and Fuji XF 60mm F2.4 macro lenses.
