I focus on capturing the sacred rituals, the blessings from elders, and the unscripted joy of welcoming your newest family member. ## Photos and videos - ![A precious newborn sleeps peacefully on her mother's shoulder during her naming ceremony.

My approach is to blend into the background. I do not ask you to pause for stiff, posed photos while you are trying to feed the baby or perform a pooja. I wait for those natural moments—the laughter during the cradle ceremony or the way a grandmother looks at the newborn—so you can stay fully present in the celebration. ### Documenting Your Traditions Every naming ceremony, whether it is a Barsa or a traditional cradle function, has its own rhythm. My style of candid family photography ensures that the focus remains on the emotions and the sanctity of the occasion rather than the camera. I capture the specific details—the marigold garlands, the tiny feet, and the smiles of relatives—that you will want to look back on years later. ### How I Work I offer dedicated coverage for these intimate home or banquet events. Because I have spent over a decade documenting these milestones in Mumbai, I understand the flow of traditional rituals. I am patient with the little ones, quiet during the sacred parts, and observant enough to catch the candid interactions between parents and guests that define the day. ### Packages & What You Get My standard event coverage is designed for gatherings up to four hours, which is typically perfect for a naming ceremony. You will receive 150 to 200+ high-resolution, processed JPEGs through a private online gallery. If your celebration is larger and involves cinematic needs, I also offer dual-team coverage with a cinematographer. Every delivery undergoes natural color correction to ensure the photos look as warm and vibrant as the day itself, delivered within 15 to 20 working days. ## About Indira Thakur I am Indira.
