for people who are done being an afterthought.
Accessibility and inclusivity are major priorities here.
The main reason why I am a photographer is because I want to provide accessible experiences for the disabled community and bring underrepresented, marginalized communities into the spotlight. I know what it's like to feel like an afterthought, which is why I provide a highly accessible experience for my clients, regardless what disabilities you may or may not have. I want to provide the best, safest, and most affirming photoshoot experience for you, all while showcasing the iconic baddie that you are.

I don't fit in a box, and neither should you.
Hey Babe! I'm Neha (she/her), by the way. No, my name is actually NOT Jeevan. 😜
I'm a self-taught photographer with 6 years of experience ranging from weddings to fashion portraits to maternity. I am a jack of all trades and a master of all, not none.
I'm here for you because as a deaf minority photographer, I know what it feels like to be an afterthought in a world that wasn't built for you. My goal with Jeevan Portraits is to make everyone — of all disabilities, backgrounds, body types, and identities — feel not only welcomed, but prioritized, affirmed, and cared for.

"My bestie booked me a self love session for my 30th birthday and I'll be honest—I was terrified. I've always struggled to accept my body, and certainly have never considered it beautiful. By the end of my session, I was feeling like the baddest bitch in Houston! Honestly, this experience is life changing and the team at Good as Hell will make you feel like you've known them for life."
"This truly is an experience like no other. I was hesitant about the meditation and especially the mirror therapy but after going through it, I couldn't have imagined it any other way! This work not only helped me feel more comfortable for my session, but I'm more comfortable in my own skin in general now which feels GOOD AS HELL!"
Sonali (Self-Love Portraits)
"I have been a client of Neha's for 6 years (7 photoshoots) and have had the most confidence-boosting experience every single time. She makes me feel comfortable and leaves me with the biggest smile each and every session. Her artistic uniqueness and creativity completely stands out as she pushes the envelope each and every time...and the outcome is just jaw dropping! You can tell the time, energy, effort, and intentionality that goes into the process from the first meeting, during the session, communication post session, and editing styles. I would highly recommend booking her!"
Keerthana (Portraits)
"Neha is the most perfect photographer. The time of the photoshoot was my first time meeting her, and she had an incredible ability to put me at ease and build rapport quickly while showering me with affirmations during the shoot, as every good photographer should! I truly cannot wait to book a longer shoot with her, and how special to support a fellow South Indian Deaf creative & small business owner. Thank you for making me feel so seen."
Britney (Self Love Portraits)
"Working with Neha was a transformative experience for me. Initially, I was quite shy and hesitant, but Neha encouraged me to embrace my individuality and showcase my unique qualities. Her guidance and support helped me break through my insecurities and build my confidence. I began to discover and appreciate my solo self-love, embracing who I am as a plus-size woman. This experience has been empowering, both personally and professionally!"
Mona & Marcus (Celebration of Love)
"Neha’s ability to capture special moments, especially those expressed in sign language, was nothing short of amazing. We now have those images proudly displayed in our home. Her professionalism, creativity, curiosity, and timeliness make her an exceptional photographer—one we highly recommend."

You (Yes, you) deserve to be seen.
I'm talkin' about the fullest, realest version of YOU.
The weird. The hot. The loud. The soft. The queer. The in-love. The ambitious. The whole damn thing.
My priority is to ensure that you feel truly reflected in your photos. When you book with me, you book an experience where you leave feeling rejuvenated and in love with yourself and where you are at in life. And, I will be your biggest hype-woman along the way. You don't need to know how to pose. You just need to show up. I'll take it from there I gotchu, boo.
