Explore Newborn PhotographyMaternity sessions in Vishrantwadi — and a conversation about where the photographs are going, which is worth having first.
The least-used set of all
It is an odd pattern and a consistent one. The session matters enormously at the time, and then the newborn arrives and the maternity gallery quietly stops being opened.
The exception is when one image from it was singled out — printed, framed, or used somewhere specific — because that one keeps working long after the gallery is forgotten.
That is worth knowing before the session rather than after it. If there is a frame you want to keep, it should be shot deliberately rather than hoped for among sixty others.
Practically that means a small number of composed, upright frames with room in them, alongside the looser material that makes up the rest of the set.
It is not more work. It is a decision made at the start about what the session is actually producing.
There is a second reason to identify the keeper frame at the start, which is that it changes what you wear for it.
A photograph that will hang somewhere for years is worth putting the plainer outfit in. Patterns and text date faster than anything else in a frame.
The looser part of the session can be whatever you like.
It is one of the few decisions in a maternity session that genuinely cannot be revisited afterwards, which is why it is worth two minutes at the start.
It is also worth knowing that the keeper frame does not have to include your face.
A considerable number of the maternity photographs people actually live with are close, quiet frames — hands, light, the shape of it — and those age differently from portraits.
If that appeals, say so. It is a different setup rather than an afterthought at the end of the session.
Getting ready
Decide whether you want a single keeper from this, and say so. Those frames are shot differently from the rest.
Tell us which way the flat faces if the session is at home, since it decides the hour.
Bring more than one option to wear. Clothing is the main variable available.
Planning it
Whether there is a frame you want to keep, and where it would go.
Home or studio, and which way the light falls.
And whether family are included.

How the session itself works is covered in full on the main maternity photography page.
Honestly, less than they expect. The exception is when one frame was singled out, which is why it is worth deciding at the start.
Any direction works. It changes the hour rather than the outcome.
Not a problem. These sessions happen within a few feet of one window.
Vishrantwadi, Tingre Nagar, Dhanori, Kalas, Lohegaon, Yerawada and Viman Nagar.
Bring two or three options, tried on at the size you will be.
Yes. Say so at booking so the time is allowed.
Yes. Tell us what you are comfortable with and the session is built around it.
Yes, and it is much cheaper than a second session. Tell us the list of uses and the framing covers all of them while everything is set up.
An online gallery you can share. Tell us if anything else is wanted and we will confirm what is possible.
You can decide the use later. What cannot be decided later is whether the frame has room in it, which is why it is worth mentioning at booking.
Yes, across Maharashtra and for destination weddings, with travel agreed upfront before anything is booked.
Yes, and it is the part we can speak to honestly — what a frame will and will not stand up to. Tell us what you have in mind.
The use can change freely. What cannot change afterwards is whether the frame has room in it, which is the only reason we ask early.
Yes. Tell us what you have in mind and we will show you work that matches it rather than a general portfolio.
Send us the date and what you have in mind, and you get a clear quote for the coverage you actually need.
Say so at the start. It is shot differently from the rest of the session.
