As Rohan Mishra Photography we are pleased to announce that we are entering into another beautiful genre other than weddings and i.e. capturing and creating marvellous maternity moments. We have tried challenging our talent and taking it to the next level. Can't believe the day has finally arrived to announce that YES! WE ARE PREGNANT! and this time we have hired ourselves to both model and shoot. An idea which came as an experiment and transformed into a beautiful story. For a change, instead of always being behind the camera we decided to come in front of the camera and that too in our style. Really proud of being able to showcase this important phase of our lives in such a unique manner.

Though we are just the beginners as parents but we thought it will be interesting to share our feelings on this new phase of our lives:

Puja – Wow! What an experience!
Never thought it will be such an overwhelming one! It’s very important that I take this opportunity to defy a well known myth that a woman alone is pregnant. After living throughout the 9 months, I can definitely say that it's not just a woman's phenomenon. Your partner plays an equal and important role, as an expecting father as well as an individual, in living through the changes you are experiencing on a daily basis. I can proudly say that I couldn't have managed to come this far without Rohan's unconditional love and support.

Now comes the part for which we are known for... Our Photography, Our First Love. Celebrating motherhood through your husband's eyes is so exhilarating and fun. Yes, it’s very difficult to shoot when you are pregnant but it's worth all the pain and effort. These moments are something which I will cherish for a lifetime. Also I must admit that I never felt this beautiful and complete. The feeling of creating a new life and bringing it to the world is just phenomenal.
Rohan, your turn...

Rohan – Yes, I completely agree with Puja that a pregnant woman is not the only one who's expecting – there are two of you working on this 'beautiful change' together. I have seen her change at every stage. From sleeping for countless hours in the first trimester to the change in her walking style because of the cute little baby bump in the second trimester and the feeling of the baby kicking in the third trimester is just out of the world. Of course I cannot describe it in words because some beautiful feelings should be left to experience. One thing which I would like to say to Puja is Thank you for making me experience this wonderful phase. All in all I HAVE ONCE AGAIN FALLEN IN LOVE WITH YOU!

Can't wait enough to see the little one out of that cute baby bump.

The Shoot: We conceptualized the complete shoot ourselves - The locations, the lighting and the attire. Our D810 on a tripod acted as our photographer and we were able to pull off some great shots but this time being in front of the camera!

And finally the day has come when we saw our cute little angel 'Inaaya' for the very first time. And then the thought of extending this concept of 'Maternity Shoot' to document my whole 'Maternity Journey' came in. We couldn't stop ourselves from celebrating our love Inaaya! And here is a quick glimpse of Inaaya in full glory.

Being born in a photographers family I think the baby has to bear the repercussions :)
