Hello, I'm Payal Gudhaka — a professional baby, maternity, family, and pet photographer based in Mumbai, with over 8 years of experience capturing meaningful moments and emotional connections.

​

For me, photography isn’t just about smiles—it’s about preserving fleeting emotions, cherished relationships, and the simple, powerful beauty of everyday life. I specialise in creating natural, relaxed, and timeless imagery—from the peaceful yawn of a newborn to the glowing bond of an expecting mother, the playful chaos of young families, and the quiet loyalty of beloved pets.

​

I design each session to be personal, warm, and comforting. Whether it’s at your home, in my studio, or outdoors surrounded by nature—I aim to create a space where you and your loved ones feel at ease. Outdoor photography, especially in natural settings, is where I feel most inspired and free. There’s something truly magical about capturing families beneath open skies, under trees, or in soft golden light.

​

I'm also proudly pet-friendly, and recently, I’ve discovered a deep connection with horses—majestic, intelligent, and emotionally aware beings. My dream is to one day incorporate horses into maternity or family shoots, for clients who feel equally connected to nature and animals. I believe horses bring a rare calm, beauty, and grace to portraits—especially in outdoor, nature-inspired settings.

​

If you're someone who loves the outdoors, values genuine moments, and wants to create something soulful and unique, I’d love to explore that with you.

​

More than anything, I treasure the relationships I build. Many families return to me year after year, allowing me the joy of witnessing their stories unfold and their children grow.

​

This is more than just photography.
This is memory-keeping, with heart.
