Hi! I am Shobhita! I’m a Family and Maternity portrait photographer in San Francisco Bay Area.
Hello, I’m Shobhita – a wife, mother of two sweet children, and the photographer behind Lush Dreamories. In the Bay Area’s beautiful natural light, I specialize as a family photographer creating light and airy images that emphasize genuine emotions and authentic connections. Whether it’s celebrating a milestone, embracing the beauty of maternity, or simply capturing the love within your family, I aim to create photographs that truly reflect who you are.
In our digital age, it’s easy for online galleries and cloud links to get lost in the shuffle. That’s why what makes my service truly special is that I don’t just take photos – I create heirloom artwork that becomes part of your daily life. I still remember the day I received the prints of my family photoshoot. The first image was of my daughter taken during our visit to a magical almond blossom farm. When I opened that package and actually held the print in my hands, something changed for me. I realized I had been keeping our most beautiful memories hidden away on my phone, when they deserved to be experienced, touched, and displayed where we could enjoy them every single day—not just swiped through on a small screen.
My journey to photography wasn’t a straight path. With a Master’s in Biotechnology and an MBA, I spent some time in a world of data and analysis. But I was always drawn to artistic pursuits. In a world constantly accelerating, photography became my way of pressing pause, much like my other creative pursuits—nature walks where I notice the tiniest details, quiet evenings with yarn and crochet hooks, afternoons with paint brushes in hand or dance sessions with my little ones. This blend of science and art probably shapes how I see the world through my lens. This mix of art and science? It’s probably one of the reasons why I can create photos that don’t just look pretty but are packed with real emotion.
As a mom myself, I know how quickly time passes, and I want to make sure you capture and preserve the fleeting moments that matter most – the spontaneous giggles as dad swoops the kids high in the air, the gentle way siblings hold hands when they think no one’s watching or that special smile your child saves for you.
Let’s create beautiful memories together, and I’ll make sure they last a lifetime.
