"When people see my photographs, they would see the children, the same way as seen through their Mother's eyes", Nithya Rajkumar
​
I am a portraits photographer specializing in photographing children with special needs.
A mother's eye is non differentiating, to her her child is unique & precious and full of potential. I am a young mother myself, I felt that this my calling ! I want people to see the children, the same way they are seen through their Mother's eyes ; beautiful , loved and full of potential.

I started this project in 2016 as a loving dedication to my dear friend's sister 'Akku' was born with Down Syndrome. I was hardly 8 years old when I met her first. When I think of her, the only thing that comes to me is the innocent smile that lights up her face as greets & acknowledges my presence each time, her pure heart and her unconditional love!
I now know that, special needs is much more than just Down Syndrome. I am a lover of children and an Inclusion advocate. Having met and captured children with Autism, Cerebral Palsy and many other syndromes I learned the essence of the quote "see the ABLE not the LABEL". Each child labeled until Autism had their unique concerns, each photo shoot was unique. Through photography as medium I also try to raise awareness on the same.
The resilience and strength a mother brings forward is commendable. My wish is to offer these amazing moms , lovely moments to cherish.
​
♡How a typical shoot experience is:
Every family receives a free pre-consultation which includes outfit guidance. I set no rules or no time constraints for the shoot. The comfort of the child & parents is my utmost priority. There are no stiff poses , images are shot in a more natural and candid style with minimal guidance where necessary.
​
♡What I bring to the shoot :
A happy spirit, loads of patience, my love for motherhood and my passion for photography.
They call me "the child whisperer". I have been fortunate to connect with every child, be it a look into the camera or an unconditional smile. It has been my pleasure to connect with & photograph each of them. On a lighter note, any a times it is the adults whom I find more difficult to capture.
