01Maternity
The Quiet Before Hello
Soft light, held hands, and the anticipation of a whole new life. Maternity sessions at home, on the beach, or wherever the two of you feel most yourselves.
Let’s talk
Every moment. Every memory.
Photography by Sonu, Bay Area
The rituals, the cake,
the standing ovation.
Maternity, baby showers and seemantham, birthdays, house warmings and the stage — photographed across the Bay Area.
The S2V approach
The best frames are the ones nobody posed for.
I stay close, notice the in-between moments, and leave room for your people to be exactly themselves. Direction when you want it, none when you don’t.

A little about me
The person behind the frames
Hi, I’m Sonu. I photograph the kind of days you wish you could pause — the proud faces, the happy chaos, the rituals, the movement, and the people who make it matter.
My approach is relaxed and observant: gentle direction when you need it, and plenty of room for real moments to unfold.

From turmeric and marigolds to cake cutting and confetti — I document every ritual and every burst of laughter as your family welcomes what comes next.

Moments Under the Spotlight
Dance recitals, cultural performances, and live events — I freeze the energy, the movement, and the emotion of the stage into cinematic images that command attention.

Questions
Still wondering about something? Ask me directly — I reply to every message myself.
Ask a questionI specialise in birthday parties, house warming ceremonies, maternity and baby shower shoots, and stage performances — from intimate gatherings to large auditorium events.
Weekends and festive seasons fill fastest, so 3–6 weeks of notice is ideal. Stage performances and milestone birthdays are best booked as early as possible once your date is set.
I currently photograph sessions and events across the Bay Area. Share your venue when you inquire and I’ll confirm availability for your date.
A curated sneak peek lands within 48 hours. Full galleries are delivered in 1–2 weeks for parties and portraits, and 2–3 weeks for large stage performances.
Warm, filmic, and timeless — true skin tones with cinematic depth. I never chase trends that will date your images in five years.
Yes. Stage and large-scale events use a two-camera setup so nothing is missed, from wide auditorium energy to tight emotional close-ups.
