From those first independent sits at six months to the chaotic, joyful energy of a first birthday cake smash, the first year flies by. I specialize in capturing the fleeting, messy, and magical phases of your baby's growth in my Mumbai studio.

About First Year Milestones

I treat these sessions as a playdate rather than a production. Whether we are doing a six-month sitter shoot or a first birthday cake smash, I keep the studio atmosphere calm so your baby feels comfortable enough to be their curious, goofy self. All props, outfits, and themed backgrounds are provided, so you can just show up and let me handle the storytelling.

Sitter Sessions (6 to 9 Months)

This is one of my favorite ages to photograph. Your baby is likely sitting up, holding their toes, and reacting to everything with big, curious eyes. My sitter sessions are designed to move at their pace. If they need a break or a cuddle, we take one. We focus on natural expressions rather than forcing them to look at the lens, capturing that wide-eyed wonder they have at this stage.

The First Birthday Cake Smash

Turning one is a big deal, and the cake smash is the perfect way to celebrate it. My process is a three-part concept: we start with formal portraits to get some sweet, clean shots, move into the messy cake smash, and finish with a bubble bath in a vintage tub to get them cleaned up and happy again.

My Ghatkopar Studio

Located in Ghatkopar West, my studio is set up to feel like a comfortable space rather than a cold, professional environment. I have a wide variety of props, outfits, and background setups ready to go—from dreamy boho themes with teepees and macrame to floral garden backdrops. You do not need to worry about bringing anything for the set; I have all the gear ready. Parents and siblings are always welcome to jump into a few shots as well, because those family bonds are just as important as the baby's solo milestones.

I’m Chitra. I run Frames by Chitra right here in Ghatkopar, where I spend my time chasing giggles and capturing the tiny details that change so fast. I do not care for stiff posing or forced smiles; my work is all about the quiet, real moments that show exactly who your little one is at this stage.
