Whether you want a rustic barnyard, pastel rainbows, or a clean, minimalist setup, we plan the entire look before you arrive. I provide the outfits, custom balloon arches, and even the cake, so all you need to bring is your baby and a camera-ready smile. I designed my Shimla studio to take the stress out of the big day. A first birthday photoshoot is a 3 to 4-hour process because babies have their own schedules, and I never want to rush them. We start with formal portraits where they look like little professionals, move into the cake smash where things get messy and fun, and finish with a warm milk bath to clean up. Parents often worry about their child being shy or not 'performing' for the camera. My job is to make this feel like playtime, not a job. I have plenty of experience with toddlers who need a little extra time to warm up. I also handle the wardrobe and props, so you do not need to stress about buying outfits your child will wear for only an hour. From dapper suits for boys to princess dresses and boho-chic florals for girls, my studio collection is stocked to match your chosen setup. If you have a specific idea in mind, let's chat about it. The goal is to walk away with high-resolution digital images that feel like a snapshot of your baby’s true self, not just a stiff pose. ## About Stuti Ghanvata I started Kidography because I wanted parents to have a warm, safe space in Shimla to capture these fleeting, precious months. I don't believe in stiff poses—I just wait for the giggles, the messy cake faces, and those tiny expressions that change way too fast.
