Hello, my names Chandni. I've been doing photography for 10 years (for fun before and went official in 2024) and I love constantly learning and working with others. My goal is to capture moments and people in a way that is creative, natural and candid.
I focus primarily on: Head shots, Family portraits, Couples portraits and Babies. I'm also willing to try new portrait ideas out as well.
I'd love to chat more -- feel free to reach out with any questions! Or share your idea with me and we can chat more about how to bring it to life :)

Hi, I’m Amit Nyayapathi, and I’ve loved photography ever since I was a kid using my dad's SLR camera. Whether it was with an old digicam, my trusty Canon 550D, or now with the amazing Canon R5, every photo I took made me love photography even more.
I don’t stick to just one type of photography. I love capturing all moments, whether it's a wedding, a proposal, a newborn's first days, family get-togethers, portraits, fashion shoots, everyday life, or even your pets.
Your moments deserve to be captured with care and creativity. Let’s make some beautiful memories together. 📸
