what our clients have to say
"A young, energetic and full of life couple. One of the most down to earth and sweetest people i have met. Durgesh’s ideas and editing is fantastic. Being on a shoot with this couple is something that everyone must experince. They just make u feel at home and behave like they have known us for a long time. Nithya was always available to happily answer all the queries and was open to any kind of suggestion. Its a big thumbs up for kiyo shotz and i hope and pray that durgesh grows and becomes a big name in the field of photography, for his simplicity, passion and dedication is commendable."
"There are only few people who can grab your thoughts and present it wisely! The one are Durgesh and Nithya together! I just went to them with a single theme ‘Winter’ for my Son, but they have given us the output to cherish lifetime. Such a professional, talented, skill full, look-alike and what not? Just brilliant couple. The way they handle the toddlers are ever loving and thus they are able to grab few important moments in hawk eyes! Was completely satisfied and overwhelmed with both Indoor and Outdoor Photo Shoots. It was perfect the way i would expect. Been in Cine Industry for quite sometime, i would say that they are excellent than all others I have seen till now! Little worried that i didn’t get the contact before I marry else I would have received a greater emotional memory to call it as Album rather the one I have right now. 10/10! Perfect and simply incredible. Good job people, you are rocking and wish your future endeavors! At anytime, I would only love to work with you."

"Firstly, I would like to thank the beautiful couple for clicking the best pictures of my son and our little family. As everyone knows, shooting with a 2 year old toddler is no easy but they made sure my child was comfortable with them as soon they started the shoot. In fact, when the shoot got over, my son started asking about their absence.Well, coming to the experience, it was so cool with proper outdoor props, very professional and they get creative with whatever is available as well. Overall, it would be a big thumbs up to all of them who want to get great pictures clicked. Thanks to Nithya and Durgesh for making the shoot, so feel at home for the three of us.
