We make it a full 3-step experience: we start with clean portraits in their birthday outfit, move to the wild, messy cake smash, and end with a warm bubble bath in a tiny tub to get them cleaned up—and capture those adorable, sudsy smiles too! 🛁🫧 ### Your Baby's Big Milestone Your baby's first birthday—or *Pehla birthday*—is such a huge deal. I know they won't remember the day, but you will. My goal is to turn that curiosity and excitement into photos you'll look back on and smile about for years to come. Whether you have a specific vision like 'One in a Melon' or want a jungle adventure, I am here to bring those themes to life in my cozy studio in DLF Phase 5, Gurgaon. ### The Setup: What to Expect I keep the vibe easy and fun so your little one stays comfortable. We can shoot in my studio where I have full control over lighting and props, or we can head outdoors to a garden in Gurgaon for natural light and greenery. **My 3-Step Process:** * **Portraits:** We start with clean, classic portraits in their birthday outfit while they are still fresh and happy. * **The Smash:** This is the messy part everyone loves! I provide a weather-stable or eggless cream smash cake that matches your chosen theme. * **Splash & Clean Up:** We finish with a bubble bath session. It is the perfect way to get them clean while grabbing those extra, candid smiles. ### Can Family Join? Absolutely! I always recommend including family in these shoots. Whether it is mom and dad, siblings, or grandparents, these group photos with the birthday star are incredibly special. We can handle it all, from the cake-smeared chaos to the calm family hugs. ### Getting Started Packages range from ₹8,500 for a classic solo studio session to ₹19,500 for the full milestone experience, which includes family portraits and the splash session. If you have a theme in mind or just want to chat about what works best for your baby's personality, send me a message and let's get planning. Let's make this day *bahut shandaar* (very grand)! ## About Ritika Sawhney I’m Ritika, and my studio is a bit of a madhouse—but in the best, most colorful way possible!
