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).
My Work
Photography Services - I shoot newborns, 48-hour hospital sessions, maternity, baby milestones, cake smashes, family, and ceremony shoots in Gurgaon/Delhi.
Creative Themes & Festivals - We go wild with rainbow cake smash photoshoots, dreamy mermaid setups, and festive baby shoots for Janmashtami, Eid, and Navratri.
Real Moments, Real Emotions - I chase real smiles, messy cakes, and those tiny heart-melting moments. My style is all about pure, emotional maternity portraits.
Fun & Comfort - No stiff poses here. Just happy families, playful shoots, and relaxed vibes so everyone enjoys and it shows in the photos.
