Newborn Photography: Capturing Your Baby's First Days
Those first few days are pure magic. I specialize in creating safe, warm, and adorable setups for your newborn, from simple, cozy swaddled poses to creative themes, or capturing those tender first moments right in the hospital.
Welcome to the family, little Anayra! This video shows a collection of moments from her newborn and family session, including adorable solo portraits and beautiful shots with her parents and grandparents.

About this collection
If you are planning a 'Fresh 48' hospital session, please reach out as soon as the baby arrives or a few days before your due date so I can prepare for that 48-hour window. For studio sessions in my DLF Phase 5 space, I recommend booking your slot while you are still in your third trimester to ensure we have a dedicated time for your little one when they are at their sleepiest and most curl-able.
Your Baby, Your Story
I believe in capturing the raw, honest beauty of your baby's arrival. Whether it is the quiet peace of a hospital room or the colorful, creative environment of my studio, my focus is always on safety and comfort.
The Fresh 48 Experience These sessions are about capturing the very first hours of life. I come to your hospital room and photograph the details that change so quickly, like the first time you hold your baby or the way grandparents gaze at their new grandchild. It is relaxed, candid, and requires no elaborate posing. You just focus on your new family member, and I document the connection.
Studio Sessions in Gurgaon For a more styled look, my DLF Phase 5 studio is a comfortable, temperature-controlled space designed for newborns. We use high-quality props, soft wraps, and gentle lighting to create those classic, sleepy portraits. I also have an extensive collection of outfits and accessories specifically for infants. We can do simple, timeless portraits with neutral backdrops, or incorporate creative themes if you have a vision in mind.
Safety First As a mother myself, I prioritize your baby's well-being above everything else. I never force poses. If your baby needs a feeding, a cuddle, or a nap, we pause. The session moves at your baby's pace, which is the only way to get those genuine, peaceful expressions. I am also happy to include parents and siblings in these sessions because these early portraits are the ones you will cherish for decades to come.

Folks call me the MOMMY photographer, and I wear that title with so much pride. I’m a mom myself, so I know that every giggle, every yawn, and those tiny curled-up toes are fleeting. I’m here to capture the real, messy, beautiful truth of your newborn’s first days without any stiff or uncomfortable posing.
