A most valued employee at Prasad Photography is our rescued Labradane, Buddy. He joined us a few years ago and has become our studio mascot. He loves to be in the studio when we shoot and helps our subjects to become calm and comfortable. Children love him, adults love him – in fact, many of our clients request to have his photo in their albums!

Through our experience and expertise, we are able to capture tender moments many people typically don’t see, giving them windows into the hearts of the people they love. We look forward to creating some beautiful memories of you and your loved ones that will last a lifetime!
