This is what pure joy looks like! This little one is having the best time during her "One in a Melon" themed cake smash, and her happy smile says it all. ✨

For the little adventurers, we can take the celebration outdoors. I love creating these beautiful, natural setups in a park for a truly unique first birthday photoshoot.

After the cake, it's time for a splash! This happy little guy is enjoying his bubble bath, which is the perfect way to end our session and capture some super cute, clean-up photos. 🫧

First birthdays are for the whole family. I always make sure to capture these precious moments with parents and siblings, creating a memory you'll all treasure forever. 🤗

Let's go on a wild adventure! A jungle theme is always so much fun, and this little explorer couldn't be happier with his amazing animal cake.

I love creating soft and dreamy setups too. This boho-chic theme with pastel pinks and whites was perfect for this little princess's first birthday portraits. 🎀

About First Birthday & Cake Smash

A baby’s first birthday is honestly a huge deal for the whole family. Pehla birthday, bacha bhi nahi samajhta kitna bada din hai (The little one doesn’t even realise how big this day is). I love turning these milestones into happy memories that you can look back on.

How I Plan Each Session

I keep things easy and fun, so your baby stays happy throughout.
The shoot happens in three parts: first, I take cute portraits of your baby in their birthday outfit on a decorated set.
Then comes the real fun - a themed cake smash. Your little one gets to go wild and messy with their cake. Yeh part sabko sabse zyada pasand aata hai (This part is everyone’s favourite).
Last, we finish with a splash session in a tiny tub with bubbles - it’s a sweet way to clean up and get some more adorable photos.

Custom Themes & Family Vibes

I can create almost any theme you want, from “One in a Melon” to jungle animals or even a Cocomelon setup. We’ll chat about your ideas and make it feel personal.
Family is always welcome. Parents, dada-dadi, or siblings can join for group photos with the birthday star. First birthday family photoshoot is something I really recommend.

Studio or Outdoor Options

You can choose my cozy studio in Gurgaon for full control on lights and props, or we can go outdoors for a natural vibe. Outdoor cake smash shoot is great if you want sunlight and greenery in the photos.

I’m here to make your little one’s big day as memorable and stress-free as possible.

My Story

Hey! Folks call me the MOMMY photographer, and honestly, I love it. Capturing that first glow of a mom-to-be, or the wild magic of those 48-hour hospital newborn sessions – gives me goosebumps every time. My studio is a bit of a madhouse, full of color, festival vibes, and cake-smash chaos. Whether it’s twins (double blessings, not trouble!) or a full family, I’m here for all the hugs, giggles, and ‘HOUSEFULL’ moments. We celebrate everything, from Eid Mubarak to शुभ नवरात्री (Happy Navratri).
