I am a seasoned maternity photographer operating from Mumbai, with a state-of-the-art studio situated in Andheri, West. Amidst the curiosity surrounding Yuvika Chowdhry’s maternity shoot (everyone is curious to know “Who Did Yuvika Chowdhry’s maternity shoot?” it was indeed my privilege to capture her radiant essence during this special phase of her life.
Yuvika Chowdhry, a prominent Indian film actress renowned for her roles in acclaimed movies such as “Om Shanti Om” and “Summer 2007,” has left an indelible mark on the industry. Her talent was duly recognized when she clinched the prestigious Best Face Award in Zee Cine Star Ki Khoj, further solidifying her stature as a versatile and accomplished artist.
The shoot, conducted in the last week of August when she was in her 32nd week, was a result of meticulous planning that commenced four weeks prior. Collaborating closely with Yuvika, we delved into detailed discussions encompassing outfits, looks, and set designs to ensure a seamless execution. After refining every aspect, we harmoniously agreed on the final details and fixed the auspicious date for the shoot.

Initially, Prince, Yuvika Chowdhry’s husband, was slated to partake in the shoot; however, due to unforeseen travel obligations, he received notice at the eleventh hour, rendering his presence unfeasible. Despite the change in plans regarding Prince’s involvement, the shoot remained a testament to Yuvika’s grace and charisma, capturing the essence of this significant life chapter with poise and elegance.
Yuvika is a remarkable individual who effortlessly combines beauty with intelligence, cooperation, and kindness. Her outer beauty is only surpassed by her inner qualities, making her a truly captivating presence. What truly set Yuvika apart is her unwavering kindness and genuine compassion towards everyone. Yuvika’s cooperative nature made her a valuable team player, willing to collaborate and support others to achieve common goals.
The photoshoot captured her essence in three distinctive looks, each portraying a unique facet of her charm and sophistication. The initial ensemble featured a nude-coloured bodycon attire embellished with glistening crystals, exuding a timeless elegance and refinement. Transitioning elegantly, the second look showcased a white long-tailed gown with an alluring slit at the front, blending grace with a contemporary edge. The culmination came with the third look—a striking black off-shoulder mermaid gown accentuated by delicate ruffles at the shoulder, embodying a fusion of classic sophistication and modern chic.
I meticulously curated three setups for each gown, ensuring a harmonious blend of aesthetics and sophistication. From the ethereal ambiance of the crystal-adorned bodycon to the refined setting for the white gown and captivating backdrop for the black ensemble, each setup highlighted Yuvika’s beauty with elegance.
For the initial ensemble where Yuvika graced a nude-coloured crystal-studded bodycon gown, I crafted a sophisticated four-light setup adorned with subtle coloured lights, enhancing the ethereal ambiance of the shoot. To elevate the visual narrative, a Mylar sheet was strategically employed to introduce captivating reflections, adding a dimension of depth and allure to the composition. Furthermore, the artful use of smoke effects lent a dreamlike quality to the imagery, creating a whimsical depiction reminiscent of strolling among the clouds. This thoughtful approach not only highlighted Yuvika’s grace and beauty but also encapsulated the enchanting essence of this magical maternity moment with a refined touch of
sophistication.
For the white gown, I made a garden theme set up with beige flowy backdrop made by me in my studio. The set had lots of fresh and artificial flowers. Yuvika was given fresh Lilies to accentuate her beautiful baby bump. The floral decor was perfect for her soft and beautiful personality. The trail of the gown added an extra touch of glamour to the whole look.
In the third look, Yuvika adorned a timeless black mermaid fit, off-shoulder gown with elegant ruffles gracing the top. The setting exuded a sense of minimalistic sophistication, featuring a subtle grey backdrop that allowed light to cascade solely on Yuvika, creating a mesmerizing gradient effect in each frame.
The shoot spanned about four hours, meticulously capturing the essence of this special moment. Her hair and makeup were artfully styled to maintain a natural and understated elegance, perfectly complementing her radiant glow. With a deliberate choice to keep jewellery to a minimum, the focus remained unwaveringly on Yuvika’s captivating face and the miracle of her blossoming bump, resulting in a series of images that epitomize grace and beauty.
It was an absolute pleasure and honour to capture Yuvika Chowdhry’s radiant glow during her maternity shoot. Being entrusted with such a significant moment in her life filled me with joy and gratitude. Yuvika’s grace and warmth made the entire photoshoot experience truly unforgettable. Every click of the camera lens was a celebration of the beauty of motherhood and the anticipation of a new life. Witnessing Yuvika’s excitement and genuine smiles as she embraced her baby bump with such love and tenderness was a heartwarming sight. As a maternity photographer, being able to freeze these precious moments in time for Yuvika was not just a job but a privilege. I am grateful for the opportunity to create timeless memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.
