Hello, I'm Payal Gudhaka — a professional family photographer based in Mumbai, with over 10 years of experience capturing meaningful moments and emotional connections.​

​

For me, photography is about preserving real moments in natural spaces — quiet emotions, gentle connections, and the beauty that unfolds when people are simply being themselves.

With over 10 years of experience, I’ve learned that the most meaningful photographs come from comfort, patience, and trust. I am a nature-loving photographer, drawn to outdoor light, open skies, trees, forests, beaches, and earthy surroundings. I specialise in photographing families, children, babies, and pets in calm, natural environments where moments feel unforced and memories feel honest.

​

My sessions are designed to feel slow, comfortable, and personal. I focus on creating an environment where families can relax, connect, and enjoy the experience rather than perform for the camera. Nature plays a big role in this — it naturally brings ease, joy, and grounding, especially for children and animals.

​

I’m deeply inspired by the outdoors and the quiet rhythm of nature. Photographing families under trees, in soft evening light, or surrounded by greenery allows me to capture images that feel timeless and emotionally rich.​ This is not about perfect poses. It’s about natural memories, created gently and meaningfully.​​​
