About Baby & Child Photography
Capturing Childhood’s Real Moments
I don’t just do newborn photos - I love when kids start showing their real personality. From that first time your baby sits up, to their cheeky crawl and wild first birthday cake smash, every milestone deserves a snap. These are the pictures that end up meaning the most years later.
Milestones I Photograph
- Sitter milestone photography: Around 6-9 months, when your baby sits up and starts playing, I catch those goofy grins and wild curiosity.
- Cake smash photo session: For their first birthday, we can do classic portraits or let them go wild with a messy cake smash. No rules, just real joy.
Theme Shoots & Your Child’s Swag
My studio in Navi Mumbai is packed with props and outfits. Want a storybook theme like Harry Potter or jungle safari? Or maybe a tiny chef or pilot? I’m game for anything. If you want ‘Tujha Swag OG OG’ (your style, totally original), I’ll make it happen.
Culture & Heritage Shoots
I’m always hyped for shoots that show our roots. Dressing up a toddler as Lord Krishna for Janmashtami or setting up a rustic Maharashtrian village vibe? Feels like ‘First day First show’ excitement. It’s about connecting to our heritage, not just looking cute.
How I Work
- You pick the location - studio or outdoors.
- Family-inclusive child photoshoot: Parents, siblings, everyone’s welcome.
- I provide all props and baby outfits.
- I’m super chill and gentle with kids, making sure they feel comfy.
I want you to have photos that actually show your child’s spirit, not just posed smiles.

My Story
Hey, I’m Lakhan. Engineer by degree, photographer by heart. Mumbai is home, and I love mixing our aamchi (our own) culture into every frame. My favourite? Capturing those first smiles, maternity glows, and turning little ones into Rajmata Jijabai or Mahadev for a day. For me, every shoot is a story, not just a photo. If I’m not clicking bubbas, I’m probably lost somewhere with my camera for my travel blog.
My Work
What I Shoot - Newborn dreamy bubba shots, maternity, cake smash, kids, and timeless family portraits.
Best Time For Newborn Shoots - 5 to 15 days old is perfect - sleepy, curly, and totally adorable.
My Style - Keep it simple, clean, and classic. Love adding Maharashtrian themed baby photoshoot ideas too.
Where I Work - Based in Navi Mumbai, I travel all over Mumbai for shoots. We’ll pick a spot together.
