My name is Mariola Shrivastava


A professional photographer with a half a decade of professional experience, specializing in newborn photography. As a mom of three, including a child with Down Syndrome and autism, I understand the profound value of capturing each precious moment. My approach blends European artistry with a commitment to safety and comfort.

As a mother, I know how quickly time passes and how special each fleeting moment with your newborn is


I’m fully trained in newborn safety, with certifications and in-person training that ensure your baby is in expert hands. I take pride in curating a studio filled with boutique-sourced, safe props dedicated to creating beautiful, timeless images. Every session is customized to fit your unique vision, allowing you to sit back and relax while I handle all the details. I only take a limited number of clients to ensure each session receives the care and attention it deserves.
