I am so excited to share a tour of my new house and studio in Pune! This is a dream come true, and I am so grateful to all the families who have trusted me. I can't wait to create beautiful memories for more parents here.
About Behind the Lens: My Story & Studio
When you step into my studios in Goregaon or Hinjawadi, you’re not just entering a workspace, but a quiet, sanitized environment designed entirely for your baby’s comfort. I’ve spent the last decade refining these spaces—from the safety of the wicker props to the gentle, soft lighting—because I know that a calm, unhurried space is the real secret behind those authentic, peaceful baby expressions you see in my work.
Starting my photography journey at 40 was less about a career change and more about a calling. My son was my first muse, and through him, I realized that the most precious memories aren't the posed ones, but the messy, raw, and real moments that fly by too fast.
Over the last ten years, I’ve grown from learning how to handle a newborn to becoming a Canon influencer with dedicated studios in both Mumbai and Pune. My process is simple: I don’t believe in rushing. Whether we are in my Pune studio or my space in Mumbai, the goal is always the same—to create a safe, familiar environment where your little one feels secure enough to just be themselves.
Why the Studio Space Matters
I designed these studios as extensions of my own home. They are kept clean, warm, and stocked with props that I personally select. Because I work with newborns, safety is my non-negotiable priority. There are no harsh studio lights here, just soft, natural-feeling setups that allow me to focus on the fleeting details—the tiny fingers, the first yawn, and the quiet smiles.
What You Can Expect
I keep my bookings limited—usually just 4 slots at my Pune studio and 6 in Mumbai each month—to ensure I can give every family the attention they deserve. My work isn't about fitting you into a schedule; it’s about waiting for the moment when your child is ready to shine. If you are looking for a session that feels like a conversation rather than a production, I would love to meet you.

Hi, I’m Neelam. I started my photography journey at 40 because I wanted to capture the real, unposed stories of childhood. My studios are an extension of that heart—a quiet, safe space where I wait for your baby to tell their own story, without any rush or pressure.
