Puja Studio was founded on passion, love, and family values. My journey with photography began at a young age, capturing moments alongside my dad. For me, photos are more than just images—they’re snapshots of the past. This became even more meaningful after my family lost many of our cherished memories in a house fire. That experience shaped my belief in the importance of preserving moments, and it drives my commitment to ensuring your memories are beautifully and thoughtfully documented.

I believe photography is more than just capturing a moment—it’s about preserving the emotions and stories behind it. I also understand that being in front of a camera can feel intimidating, which is why I strive to create a comfortable and relaxed environment, bringing out the most natural and authentic version of you. This is all about you and your family. My approach is rooted in getting to know my clients personally so their photos reflect who they truly are.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m brainstorming new ideas, sharing a laugh with my wife and business partner, Ariha, or enjoying the little things that inspire me to see the world differently. I am team Android and green texts build character—consider it my way of keeping our friendship grounded. I've been growing the top part of my hair our for the last 6 years. I am a huge Cubs fan and love going to games in the summer and being part of the atmosphere. My wife and I got married in May 2025, and she’s definitely passed her travel bug onto me. Together, we’ve explored Italy, Hawaii, Vancouver, Cabo, India, and Seattle— with plenty more adventures to come!

Now a few words from my nephew, Kairav: "Maamu goes to weddings and is a photographer. He takes a lot of pictures. He works really hard. Family is everything you need. Okay that's it."
