Here is a peek behind the camera lens at my studio sessions where we turn simple first birthdays into magical memories. ## Photos and videos - [Video: A quick look at this sweet ice cream themed session, showing the pre-smash portraits, the cake fun, and the final splash in the tub.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/5914007f-8cb1-449b-b017-8b8301274d1f) - [Video: So much fun happens behind the scenes at a "One in a Melon" shoot!

Whether it is a sudden diaper change, a wobbly first step, or the classic moment where the baby hesitates to touch the cake, I am always ready with bubbles, songs, or just a little patience to get those genuine, heart-melting giggles. My studio in DLF Phase 5 is designed to be a safe, colorful playground for your little one. The process usually flows through three distinct stages to ensure we get a variety of images. We start with clean portraits in their birthday outfit, move on to the messy cake smash, and finish with a relaxing bubble bath. This sequence keeps the baby engaged and allows us to capture different emotions. I love bringing specific themes to life, whether it is a bright 'One in a Melon' setup, a woodland adventure, or a simple classic blue theme. Every session is customized. I provide the props, the backdrop, and the eggless cake, so you can just focus on enjoying the day. Parents and siblings are always encouraged to jump in for a few frames. My goal is never to force a perfect pose, but to let the baby lead the way so the final photos feel real and full of life. If you prefer the outdoors, I also travel to parks and gardens across Delhi NCR for sessions during the golden hour to capture that beautiful, natural sunlight. ## About Ritika Sawhney I am Ritika, and my studio is a bit of a madhouse, but in the best way possible. I love chasing those real, messy smiles and tiny details that make your baby's first birthday truly theirs. Let us create some happy memories together.
