About Behind the Magic
People often ask how I keep babies so calm during sessions. It comes down to preparation, like keeping my DLF Phase 5 studio at a cozy, baby-safe temperature, but mostly, it is about patience, letting the little one lead the session rather than forcing a pose.
My approach to photography is simple, whether I am working in my studio or visiting you at a hospital like Cloudnine or Artemis. When you come to the studio, we work with a warm, controlled environment to ensure your baby is comfortable and safe. I follow NCPAI standards, meaning your little one's safety is my priority during every bean bag transition or prop change. I have a collection of wraps and outfits ready so you do not need to worry about the logistics. For my Fresh 48 hospital sessions, the process is different. I embrace the chaos and the love of those first few hours. I do not ask for smiles or poses. Instead, I capture the tiny details like wrinkled feet, the first time you hold your baby, and the quiet connection between you. It is about documenting reality in its rawest form. I believe photography is about feeling, not just looking, so I keep everything relaxed, gentle, and full of grace.
