About Komal

Portrait Photographer, based in the heart of Austin, TX

Hi, I’m Komal! I specialize in capturing you, your whole self, just as you are. Whether this is your first photoshoot or your hundredth, you can expect to feel comfortable and encouraged throughout your session.

My approach to photography is to provide some guidance and allow my subject's personality to come through. Genuine emotion and candid moments reveal our authentic selves.

I understand the importance of capturing your memories and strive to create a personalized and tailored session for each of my clients.

My Approach

Your comfort and confidence come first.

Every session is shaped around you, with a focus on your personal preferences, your pace, and the little details that make you feel like yourself. I offer gentle guidance when it helps, while also giving space for natural moments to unfold so you can stay present and comfortable. By prioritizing ease and authenticity, I create images that feel true to who you are—timeless, genuine, and uniquely yours.

Testimonials

"Fantastic experience with Komal! It was our first experience getting professional photos taken and Komal was so professional and easy to work with. She really put us at ease and took her time getting tons of shots and poses. We never felt rushed and she was very patient with our dog as well. She was very detailed in her emails with prepping and it really helps knowing what to expect. I also really enjoyed the easy photo selection process. She sent us an online gallery to choose our favorite photos and delivered the beautifully edited photos in just a couple business days in order for us to be able to send it out in time for Christmas. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone who needs professional photos. Highly recommended!"

"Komal is not only a professional, experienced, and talented photographer, but also a pleasure to be around and great company! I had lots of fun during my 2-hour graduation shoot with her and felt like I was in great hands. Before the shoot, we had a consultation over video chat to discuss her preparation tips, as well as my personal preferences. During the shoot, I felt put at ease with her direction, and also free to add my own personality to it. The photos were edited on time and turned out beautifully; I would not have wanted to go with anyone else."

"Komal was amazing!!! She was so responsive throughout the entire process and I couldn't recommend her more! I've had pictures taken a few times before but Komal did an especially great job of guiding me through poses and getting a great variety of shots while making sure to individualize the experience for me. She was punctual and prepared and I would work with her again a thousand times over.

"Komal is a fantastic and professional photographer! She took my grad pictures and they came out absolutely beautiful!! I am still in awe of them. During my session she gave great direction and allowed me to see photos during the session to get my feedback. She listened to what I liked and what I didn’t and adjusted to it. Really cares about her clients! So glad I booked."

"Komal is the BEST! I get camera shy when I'm in front of other people but Komal made the session very comfortable and fun. She was very encouraging! Komal directed me with how to pose and what to do. I highly appreciate it because I never know what to do, especially with my arms. She was very patient, kind, and detailed! It was a very enjoyable time. I took my dog to my session and Komal knew how to capture her perfectly! Komal made my final selections very difficult because there were so many good shots! Komal was very understanding of some changes I wanted on the final edits. She fulfilled my small detail changes. Komal goes above and beyond! I would highly recommend booking a session!!"

Watching Zack and Marcia move through their day was a reminder of what weddings are really about: connection, family, and the little moments that don’t need an audience. Their ceremony was heartfelt and personal, full of stolen glances and teary smiles, and the kind of joy that fills a room even when only a few people are in it.
