Behind the Scenes: Our Janmashtami Setups

When I start planning a Janmashtami setup, it begins with the atmosphere. I want it to feel like stepping into a small, vibrant slice of Vrindavan. In the images above, you can see the layering involved—from the hay structures and marigolds to the authentic matkis and peacock feathers.

But the real magic isn't just the props. It’s the time spent ensuring the floor is comfortable for a baby to sit on and that the lighting is soft enough not to startle them. Because these shoots often involve infants and toddlers, the setup needs to be functional as well as beautiful. We have to make sure there's enough space for parents to be close by, and that all the costumes—whether for a chhota Gopal or a nanhi si Radha—are skin-friendly and easy to change.

These sessions are all about making the process stress-free for you. You don’t have to worry about sourcing traditional outfits or figuring out how to arrange the decor. I manage the full production in my Dwarka studio, so you can simply arrive, get your little one dressed, and enjoy the process of watching them step into character. If you're looking for festive baby photography in Delhi NCR that captures the spirit of the season without the hassle, this is how we make it happen.
