I had a very specific vision for my maternity shoot, and she captured it perfectly (even BETTER than imagined!) We chose to do an intimate session in our home, and she truly embraced the space and the mood, making us feel so comfortable and relaxed.

As someone who can feel a bit awkward in front of the camera, she guided my fiancé and me to pose with ease, and the photos turned out amazing.

Rohan and I had never had a photoshoot before, and had a general idea of what we wanted for our courthouse wedding, but Anushka filled in the blanks so nicely asking for inspo and making sure we had a solid plan of action for the day. The pictures turned out natural looking and beautiful, really capturing the essence of our intimate day! Anushka herself is very hardworking, detailed oriented, and came up with so many great ideas when we were taking pictures. I highly recommend her services, she is a great people person and really makes you feel at ease. Any other photoshoot opportunities I have I’ll be sure to reach out to Nushy!"

Anushka made us feel so comfortable during our photo sessions, even when we were nervous about posing in public in New York City. In just a few minutes, she had us feeling relaxed and natural, which resulted in stunning and authentic photos that we will cherish forever. She also has a bunch of cameras that she brings with her to capture different types of photos on both digital and film, which we really wanted! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

    “Anushka was very thorough and professional. She was communicative throughout the proposal process and helped me set up the proposal area on the big day. She had a lot of great ideas about places to take pictures and was generous with her time, and quickly sent the edited photos to us. She helped us feel comfortable while taking photos and made she we had a bunch of great backdrops and poses in our photos, even on a very crowded day in the park in which we were shooting. The pictures came out great — we love them, and are so appreciative of all of Anushka’s effort.”

    "Anushka is a natural talent behind the camera with a remarkable eye for light, composition, and story. She photographed our wedding shoot after our New York courthouse ceremony, ahead of our big celebration in Italy, and delivered exactly the fairytale vintage editorial look we wanted. We built a Pinterest board together, and she turned it into a clear plan with a timed schedule of locations and transitions so nothing felt rushed. From the first message she was organized, responsive, and thoughtful. It poured the day of our shoot, umbrellas and all, yet she powered through, finding covered spots and city corners while keeping the experience lighthearted and fun. We aren’t big on posing, but she made it feel natural with simple cues and adjustments, even as we juggled umbrellas. Her ability to capture light is impeccable, moving seamlessly between digital and film, indoor and outdoor. The gallery reflects that range with true-to-life color and timeless black-and-white. Beyond the photos, Anushka is a joy to be around. She’s bubbly, friendly, and instantly putting you at ease. She managed the timeline smoothly, kept us present, and still caught the tiny in-between moments that feel so personal. The final gallery is cohesive, flattering, and exactly our vision, with thoughtful detail and composition. Professional, prepared, and incredibly talented, she is also a light to be around. We are thrilled and so grateful."

We had about 100 people crammed into a tight space for our night before dinner with tricky lighting, and she totally crushed every single picture. You’d never even know she was there, as she fit right in and captured every special moment perfectly. The photos turned out gorgeous, and we can’t stop looking at them. Highly recommend and we would hire her again in a heartbeat!"

    — Haley & Ethan

  • “As a photographer myself, I love taking film photos of my own NYC adventures - but there is nothing quite like working with someone that takes all the work out of getting fantastic photos. Anushka was a pleasure to work with; open to our input before, and throughout the shoot. We never felt like we were being rushed through a series of cliche poses and generic shots. The photos look and feel true to our personal NYC experience, which we adore. Anushka captured a rather emotional day for me and my wife - during our last week living in NYC together before moving upstate. We just got married and have worked with a handful of great photographers and can add this experience to the list — we absolutely loved having these beautiful photos from more intimate, organic moments together, and would highly recommend if you’re looking to work with someone collaborative, fun, and low-pressure.“

    "Anushka brings awe-inspiring dedication to her craft. At the end of our shoot, I was eager to give her a 25% tip and still felt it wasn’t enough to match the value she delivered. Her work feels priceless. What sets Anushka apart is her relentless pursuit of perfection. She won’t settle for anything less than an exceptional shot. Yet somehow, she manages to keep you completely at ease throughout the entire session. She also excels at the fundamentals: punctual, prepared, and organized with a clear vision for the shoot. We highly recommend Anushka, especially for desi couples who want a photographer who just gets it."

    "As a professional musician who frequently needs high quality headshots, Anushka Dhoot is the first photographer on my list. I had the pleasure of working with Anushka for a photo shoot with my piano trio, and the results completely blew us away. She captured stunning professional shots of us performing, as well as individual headshots and group portraits. Anushka was incredibly accommodating—meeting us early on a Sunday morning—and brought a creative eye to the session, choosing backdrops and scenery we never would have thought of ourselves. She made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable, and her ability to put us at ease really comes through in the photos. Her rates are exceptionally reasonable for the quality she delivers. We’ve used her images across our website and for our concert promotion, and we genuinely feel her work has elevated our group’s presence and reputation. If you’re a musician or artist needing headshots in the NYC area, look no further!"
