[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/lakhankphotography/newborn-photography/gallery) The transition from a sleepy newborn to a curious one-year-old happens in the blink of an eye. I love documenting these major transformations with side-by-side portraits that show exactly how much your little one has grown. ## Photos and videos - ![Then and Now.

To get the best 'Then & Now' comparison, I often suggest bringing a blanket or prop from your original newborn session. We can try to recreate a similar pose or simply use the same color palette, creating a visual bridge that highlights their rapid growth over that first year. The journey from 15 days to 365 days is incredible. As a photographer, I see that shift daily—from the tiny, curled-up newborn stage to the interactive, personality-filled toddler phase. ### Why Milestone Photography Matters Milestone sessions allow us to freeze time when your baby starts hitting those big markers: holding their head up, sitting without support, or standing. While the newborn session (best at 5-15 days) is about capturing that quiet, sleepy magic, the one-year milestone shoot is all about energy and expression. ### Planning Your Shoot If you have already done a newborn session with me, we have a head start. We know your style preferences and the colors that suit your baby best. When you book your milestone shoot, mention your previous session. This helps me prepare props and lighting that complement your earlier photos. ### My Studio Approach My studio in Navi Mumbai is set up for both stages. For newborns, we prioritize warmth and stillness. For milestone babies, I focus on safety and engagement—creating a space where they feel comfortable exploring props like wooden crates, baskets, or floral setups. Whether you want a clean, minimalist look or a fun, themed setup, my goal is to give you images that don't just show how your baby looks, but who they are becoming. These side-by-side images serve as a beautiful time capsule. They are more than just photos; they are the story of your family's first year together. ## About Lakhan Kharatmol I am Lakhan, and I am just as excited as you are to see how much your little one has grown. My studio in Kopar Khairane is designed to make both newborn and milestone shoots comfortable and fun. I love connecting with families and being part of their story as the baby grows.
