Hi- I’m Aarti..

I’m a documentary and lifestyle photographer based in Sacramento — and I’ll happily travel wherever connection takes me!

I was born and raised in the Bay Area. I studied at UC Davis and love the hidden gems and pretty light Davis has to offer. Sacramento is my my home base now. I’ve enjoyed discovering (and photographing) all of the beautiful settings Sacramento has to offer as well as exploring the surrounding areas!

I thrive when I’m photographing connection. From new love, newborns, and chosen families to backyard weddings and big milestone events. I’m here for the honest stuff: the hand squeezes, the loud laughs, the quiet pauses.

My work is grounded, people-centered, and sometimes a little chaotic (just like real life). If you're looking for a Sacramento or Bay Area photographer who brings warmth, direction, and a sense of ease — you're in the right place. I’d be honored to document your loved ones, family or celebration!
