About Behind the Scenes: My Process
My studio is kept strictly temperature-controlled, and I sanitize every prop and wrap before your baby arrives. These are not just photoshoots; they are carefully planned sessions where the pace is set entirely by your baby's needs, not the clock.
A lot of parents ask what actually happens during a newborn shoot. It is not just about snapping pictures. It is a slow, methodical process. I start by warming the room to keep your baby comfortable. Every single prop—baskets, knitted rompers, and headbands—is hand-picked and cleaned.
I rely on over 3000 sessions of experience to know how to soothe a baby safely. If the baby is awake, we wait. If they need to feed, we pause. Nothing is rushed. My goal is to capture those fleeting, sleepy expressions without ever stressing you or your child. Whether it is a studio session in my Sahakarnagar space or a hospital visit, the process remains the same: safety first, then the art.
I am always learning and updating my techniques, even teaching masterclasses on baby handling. When you book a session with me, you are getting more than just a photographer; you are getting someone who treats your child with the same care I would show my own family.
