Before you step in front of my camera...
I’m Damini—your family, maternity, and portrait photographer based in Maine and photographing across New England. Thank you for being here, and for considering my work as something to be held, revisited, and passed down.
I know how quickly these moments pass—the touch of hands, a shared glance, the warmth of simply being together. Often, they fade before we realize their weight. That’s why I photograph families across New England: to preserve not just what this season looks like, but how it feels—so you can return to it, again and again.
My approach is gentle and intentional, rooted in presence. I guide just enough to allow real life to unfold, creating images that honor your relationships exactly as they are.
When you work with me, you’re not just booking a photographer—you’re choosing to honor your family legacy, preserve heirlooms, and capture your story in a way that will be cherished for generations.
“Damini is a wonderful photographer! She is skilled, kind, and talented. She was flexible with our busy family schedule. I felt hesitant to get family photos taken; it's been 3 years. But, Damini's approach helped us to feel comfortable and relaxed, which translated into genuine smiles. After we finished, our son said, "She was fun, can we do that again?" I was floored, yet felt the same! We are looking forward to hiring Damini for our next session!”

"Damini is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is thoughtful, friendly and easy going. I appreciate her work as a photographer as much as I do her ability to make anyone feel comfortable having their photos done. If you’re looking for someone to help you feel confident, laid back, but also give you gorgeous high quality work, she is your girl!
