## About Celebrating Together: Events & Milestones

When I’m covering a birthday or naming ceremony, I don’t just stand around waiting for smiles. I’m usually right in the mix—dodging flying balloons at play zones or catching that split-second look of wonder during a ritual. You get an honest document of the day, including the messy cake smashes and the quiet, sleepy moments in a parent’s arms, delivered as a set of memories rather than stiff portraits.

### How I Capture Your Big Days

Events move fast, and kids move even faster. My approach is entirely documentary—I want to catch the moments you might have missed while you were busy playing host. Whether it’s a 5th birthday party in a Chembur play area or a quiet, traditional naming ceremony at home, I focus on the raw expressions and the small details that make the day yours.

### What You Can Expect

For birthday and event coverage, I offer 4-hour blocks that let me capture the decor, the key rituals, guest interactions, and all the candid fun. You aren't getting static, posed photos; you're getting a visual story of the event. 

*   **Birthday Parties:** I love capturing the energy of kids dancing and the pride in their faces during cake cutting. I also have a photobooth setup available if you want to give your guests instant photos and fun prints to take home.
*   **Naming Ceremonies:** These are special, quiet moments. I handle these with a lighter touch, focusing on the family connection and the intricate details of the rituals.
*   **Milestone Shoots:** If you’re looking for something specific like a Cake Smash or a themed milestone portrait, I can combine these with event coverage or do them as separate sessions in my home studio in Tilak Nagar. 

I handle the photography and leave you to enjoy the celebration. My turnaround for event images is 1-2 weeks, so you aren't waiting forever to relive the day. If you’re planning something in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, or even further afield, let's chat about what you have in mind.
