About Newborn & Baby Photography
Tiny Moments, Big Memories
I freeze those blink-and-you-miss-it moments - the sleepy smiles, the curled-up toes, the way your newborn fits right into your arms. My photos aren’t just about faces, they’re about feelings. You’ll find yourself coming back to these images, remembering how small your baby once was.
The Newborn Window
The best time for newborn photos is between 5 and 20 days old. That’s when babies are most peaceful and easy to pose. I capture them swaddled, in baskets, or just being themselves. If your baby’s a little older or fussier, don’t stress - we’ll work with what they give us.
Studio Vibes
My studio is cozy and calm, filled with soft blankets, tiny beds, rustic bowls, and dreamy backdrops. Safety is always first. I pace everything around your baby’s mood - no rush, no pressure. If your baby needs a break, we take it.
Creative Themes & Milestones
Want something different? We can do creative baby photo themes - from tiny explorers to little goddesses in Indian attire, or even a cricket star. As your baby grows, I capture milestones like sitter sessions, half-birthdays, and the big first birthday with fun setups like Candyland or a splash session.
Family Included
Family newborn photography is part of every session. I guide you gently, so you don’t have to worry about posing. Just love on your baby - I’ll catch the real moments that matter.

My Story
I get to see love grow in real time, honestly, it’s wild. Some days it’s a sleepy newborn, other days a family running around, laughing in the grass. These moments? Blink and they’re gone. I remember a mom almost skipping her maternity shoot—now she clings to those photos. I want you to have memories that hit you right in the feels, even years later. That’s why I freeze these bits of your story.
My Work
Photoshoots for All Ages - I do maternity, newborn, toddler, and family sessions in my cozy Mumbai studio or outdoors.
Real Moments, Not Stiff Poses - You don’t need to pose. I guide you, but it’s about capturing your real connection.
Personalized Experience - We plan your dream shoot—messy, playful, or elegant. The studio feels like home.
Tradition-Inspired Portraits - Love mixing Indian rituals, like red bindi for 'garbha', into maternity shoot with Indian rituals.
