This flow keeps the little ones happy and gives us a variety of moods in just one session. The first birthday is a huge deal. It is one of those fleeting moments you want to capture before they start running everywhere. ### Themes and Customization From One in a Melon to wild jungle adventures, we can customize the set to match your baby's personality. If you prefer the outdoors, I also do garden sessions in Gurgaon where we use natural golden hour light for a softer look. ### The Process My signature three-part session ensures we get the best out of your baby. We start fresh with studio portraits to capture their smiles. Then comes the main event, the cake smash, where things get gloriously messy. Finally, we move to a vintage clawfoot tub for a splashy bubble bath. It is the perfect, stress-free way to end the shoot. ### Family Inclusion I always encourage parents and siblings to jump in for a few frames. These family portraits are often the ones parents end up printing for their living room walls. Whether it is an intimate studio setup or an airy park shoot, my goal is to keep things relaxed so the laughter you see in the photos is 100 percent real. ## About Ritika Sawhney I am Ritika, and my studio is a bit of a madhouse in the best way possible. I focus on capturing real emotions, from the first tentative touch of a cake to the splashy chaos of a bubble bath. It is all about celebrating your little one exactly as they are.
