About Family Photography
Your Family, Your Story
I love capturing those blink-and-you-miss-it moments that make every family unique. Whether it’s your first time as parents or you’re wrangling a bunch of chhotu-motu (little ones), my aim is to freeze those giggles, cuddles, and all the chaos in between.
What to Expect
- Newborn family photography with your first tiny addition, those sleepy smiles and fresh excitement
- Sessions with toddlers and kids, where I catch their natkhat (mischievous) grins and non-stop energy
- Special parent and child photography, like those goofy Dad-daughter games or Amma-son hugs
- Sibling photoshoot ideas - both the “aww” moments and the classic “stop touching me!” scenes
- For families growing again, I’ve got ways to show off the big sibling-to-be and those waiting-for-baby feels
My Style
- Cozy, clean, and full of heart. Candid family moments mixed with simple, classic portraits
- Mostly solid backdrops - beige, grey, white - so all the focus stays on you
- Love when families show up matching (jeans and tees, anyone?) but not a rule
- You’ll get a mix of rich colors and some soulful black & whites
Comfort First
- Studio in Malad West that feels more like a living room than a studio
- New moms/babies? I can come to your home, no stress, no packing up half the house
Not Just Files
- I design printed photo books too, for those who want memories you can actually hold
It’s not about perfect poses - it’s about capturing your family, just as you are, so you can look back and go, yaad hai? (remember?)

My Story
Hey, I’m Shalaka – some say photographer, I say fotosmith. I’m hooked on capturing those tiny, blink-and-you-miss moments: a mother’s glow, a baby’s yawn, chubby cheeks, giggles. Babies grow up so fast, right? I started this to freeze those little miracles, so you can hold onto them. I’m all about fun themes too – a baby as little Kanha for Janmashtami? Pure joy. Whether in my studio or your home, comfort and safety come first.
My Work
Newborn, Maternity & Family Shoots - I do photoshoots for newborns, maternity, pre-birthdays, cake smash, milestones, and families.
Safe & Cozy Experience - Your baby’s comfort is top. Sessions are gentle, patient, and always safe, wherever we shoot.
Creative Themes & Props - Love bringing themes alive! Janmashtami baby photoshoot, mermaids – I provide all props and costumes.
Studio or Home Shoots - You pick – my Malad West studio or your home, both set up for beautiful, relaxed photos.
