From newborn portraits to messy cake smash sessions, I capture the authentic milestones of your child's first year.

About Baby's First Year & Beyond
When planning a first birthday shoot or cake smash, do not stress about the perfect pose. My best shots happen when I let children play and get messy with the cake. I recommend keeping the setup simple so the focus stays on your baby's natural expressions rather than props. If you are doing an outdoor shoot, schedule it for the golden hour as the light makes a huge difference in how the colors pop and feels much softer on baby skin.
Your Child's Milestones
I treat every session as a chance to tell your family's story. Whether it is a newborn naming ceremony, a first birthday celebration, or a casual Sunday cake smash at a park, I focus on the connection between you and your child.
Why my approach works
- Natural Light & Cinematic Style: I avoid heavy studio setups for kids. By using natural light and cinematic film techniques, I ensure your photos look bright and timeless, not posed or awkward.
- Milestone Coverage: I cover everything from the sleepy newborn phase to the high-energy first birthday parties with friends and family.
- Comfort First: Children do not take directions well, and that is fine. I work around their mood, letting them move, cry, laugh, or eat, so we capture who they actually are at this age.
Planning Your Session in Mumbai
I am familiar with Mumbai's various spots, from quiet beach corners to parks that work well for outdoor shoots. If you are planning an indoor cake smash or naming ceremony, I bring portable equipment that ensures we get clear shots without needing an entire studio setup.
Commonly requested shots:
- The Details: Close-ups of tiny hands, feet, and expressions during naming ceremonies.
- The Action: Cake smashes, crawling, or first steps.
- The Bond: Candid portraits of parents interacting with their baby, focusing on genuine gazes and laughter rather than looking at the lens.
Let me know if you have a specific theme in mind or need recommendations on locations that work best for the time of year.
