I focus on freezing these fleeting, precious moments, creating simple, gentle portraits that you will cherish long after your little one starts walking. ✨ ## Photos and videos - ![A perfect, happy smile on a sleeping baby.

Because safety is non-negotiable, I use sanitized, soft wraps and gentle studio lighting that keeps your little one calm and cozy. If I am coming to your home for the shoot, I bring all the gear needed for a studio-quality setup right in your nursery, so you do not have to stress about traveling with a newborn. ### Why these early days matter Capturing a newborn is about holding onto a memory. Those tiny eyelashes, the way they curl their little fingers, and those sleepy yawns are details that fade from memory as they grow. My classic sessions are designed to preserve exactly this stage, using soft, natural textures that keep the focus entirely on your baby’s innocence. ### Safety is non-negotiable I am a certified newborn photographer, which means I understand the anatomy and needs of a baby better than anyone. I never rush a pose. If your baby is fussy or hungry, we pause. The session happens at their pace, not mine. I use soft, hypoallergenic fabrics and wraps that are gentle on their sensitive skin, and all props are thoroughly cleaned before every shoot. ### My Setup and Style Whether you come to my Malad West studio or book a home visit across Mumbai, I focus on clean, timeless aesthetics. * **Classic Poses:** Think cocoon swings, cozy basket nests, and gentle swaddles. * **Natural Lighting:** I prefer soft, studio-quality lighting that mimics daylight, highlighting their features without harsh glares. * **Custom Themes:** While this cluster highlights my classic, timeless style, I also keep props on hand if you want to mix in a little festive magic, like a 'Nand Ghar Anand Bhayo' Krishna theme or a subtle floral setup. ### Planning your session I recommend booking your shoot while you are still in your third trimester to ensure a slot. Most newborn portraits work best when the baby is between 5 and 14 days old, as they are still comfortable being swaddled and sleep through the process. Once you book, we will have a quick call to discuss the setup, colors, and any specific family portraits you want to include. ## About Fotosmith Photography I’m Shalaka, and I’ve dedicated my work to freezing those tiny, blink-and-you-miss miracles.
