Freshman at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.

Hi, I’m Saanavi!

I’m a freshman at Wharton exploring creativity and business. I photograph graduations, weddings, and campus events as Stories by Saanavi, I write poetry, and I’ve danced Bharatanatyam since I was five.

Helping you tell your story

From graduation portraits and club headshots to campus events and everything in between, I promise you will come back from a session loving your gallery.

I wrote a book!

What is Bharatanatyam?

Meera’s first Bharatanatyam class, told as a picture book, with a guide to 56 hand gestures. I wrote it to share the dance I grew up with. All proceeds go to charity.
