Here is a peek into my Malad West studio, where I set up everything for a safe, cozy, and relaxed maternity session. ## Photos and videos - [Video: This video gives you a peek into my process. You can see me setting up a simple, elegant backdrop in my studio, followed by the beautiful final portraits we created for this couple's maternity session.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/2aef6b1a-4358-4c46-a414-dcda4f435709) ## About A Look Behind the Scenes My studio setup in Malad West is designed for your comfort, not just for the camera. When you arrive, I have already prepped the fabrics, adjusted the lighting, and sanitized the props so you can walk in and just relax—no stress about managing backdrops or figuring out posing on the spot. I believe you should see the work behind the art. A photoshoot can feel overwhelming, especially during pregnancy, so my process is built around keeping things calm and simple. Whether we are in my Malad West studio or your own home in Mumbai, the setup focuses on your comfort first. ### My Studio Process When you arrive at my studio, the set is already ready. I use soft, continuous lighting to keep the baby and mom safe—no harsh flashes here. You will find a dedicated changing space and my collection of flowy maternity gowns, so you do not need to carry anything heavy. I personally style every set, ensuring the backdrop colors complement the gown you choose. ### Bringing the Studio to You If you prefer a home session, I bring my studio to you. We transform a corner of your living room or bedroom into a professional setup. It is exactly the same quality, but you get the ease of being in your own space. I handle all the heavy lifting, prop assembly, and lighting adjustment, leaving you to focus on the moment. ### Collaborative Styling We do not just shoot; we style together. I listen to your vision—whether it is a specific *natkhat* (mischievous) mood or a simple, elegant portrait—and we build it step by step. From adjusting the gown trail to placing that perfect prop, I ensure everything looks balanced and timeless. My goal is to make sure you enjoy the experience as much as you love the final images. ## About Fotosmith Photography I am Shalaka, and I call myself a 'fotosmith' because I treat every session like a craft. My goal is to make sure you feel completely relaxed, whether you are in my studio or your home, so we can capture those real, beautiful moments as they happen.
