I have worked successfully in corporate for over 5 years. A good job, promotions, everything seemed perfect but, I was missing an inner spark. I am a creative at heart and photography has been my passion for over 15 years. I could not hold myself any longer and decided to give photography a serious thought. That was the turning point. I continued my job and started polishing my skills on weekends. I started experimenting with different genres of photography - wedding, fashion, product, maternity, etc. Finally, it was maternity and baby photography that resonated with me the most. I did this for almost a year and then left my job and never looked back. From starting a small home studio in my living room in Gurgaon to building India's most premium maternity and baby photography studio - Journey has been a beautiful and adventurous ride.
