Hi, I'm Nayana

As a nurse by trade, I’m reminded every day how quickly life can change. Photography began as a way to hold onto moments with my own pets. My first cat, Maggie, showed me how deeply animals shape our lives. Though she's no longer here, she inspires everything I do. Today my work focuses on documenting the life of loving an animal—from gotcha day through every chapter of life—while giving back to the rescue community that brought Maggie into my life. When I’m not photographing pets, I also enjoy capturing events, families, and professional headshots.
