Working with Sejal was lovely! She is cheerful, calm and supportive. We worked with her for our newborn shoot and are blown away by the results. Sejal was able to capture our family in such a natural and loving way, including some candids with our cat. We are so pleased with the pictures she took and cannot wait to share with family!

Sejal is amazing. I found her when looking for a newborn photographer, and she's since become our official family photographer. My husband and I feel so awkward in front of cameras, but Sejal always sets us at ease. She always comes with great location and pose ideas and gives us ideas/tips in the moment. Every time we get a photo set I'm amazed--she always manages to perfectly capture our kiddo's personality and the vibe of our family and we look SO GOOD. You should just book Sejal.
We worked with Sejal for newborn family photos with our baby and toddler. Sejal was incredible all around!! Very communicative in setting up the photo shoot, had an amazing vision for the shoot itself, gave great instructions throughout, and brought such a calming and kind presence. She was able to capture such special moments and the true personality of our toddler. We now have countless photos they we will treasure forever. Highly recommend working with Sejal!!

Sejal's photos are truly a work of art! We loved working with her for our newborn session. The whole experience was super fun and easy. She understands how to work with newborns to get the best shots, including working with lighting, colors, and angles. In addition to her beautiful photography, she delivered the album in record time. We love our photos, and we're so grateful to have these sweet memories. We plan to work with Sejal again for all of our future family photos!

I cannot speak more highly about working with Sejal. The photos she took of our family and newborn were incredible, and she made the session so easy. Honestly everything was much smoother than I expected during the shoot, and the photos are truly special. Her rate is very reasonable, particularly because she doesn’t charge for image downloads (and she took so many amazing shots - I would buy them all!!). You won’t regret working with Sejal!

We really cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Sejal! She takes absolutely gorgeous family photos and has captured the love, fun & essence of our family each year. Not only is she incredibly skilled, professional & thoughtful, but she is also a truly warm and kind individual who makes the session fun and relaxed. The kids and whole family enjoy seeing Sejal, and we are grateful for the memories that she has so beautifully captured for us.
