Want to know how we get those giggles and perfect newborn shots? Here is a glimpse into the controlled chaos, the nursery rhymes, and the magic of a studio session.

A fun look at what it's like to be a baby photographer. From making funny faces to mastering the art of baby talk, I do whatever it takes to get that perfect shot and I truly have the best job in the world.

About Behind The Scenes

It is rarely as quiet as the final photo looks. A typical studio session involves me singing nursery rhymes, making funny faces, and keeping a stash of toys nearby to keep your little one engaged. These behind the scenes moments are just as precious to me as the final portraits because they capture the patience required to get that perfect, genuine smile.

The Reality of a Baby Shoot

Parents often ask me how I manage to get a newborn to stay calm or a toddler to look at the camera. The secret is that I do not force it. Whether we are in my Girgaon studio or out at a Mumbai park, my priority is making your child feel comfortable.

Why Patience is the Best Tool

Baby photography is not about perfection. It is about timing. If your baby needs a feed, we pause. If they are cranky, we play. I have learned every Cocomelon song by heart for a reason. By allowing the session to flow at their pace, I capture the little things, like a yawn, a stretch, or a genuine laugh, rather than a stiff pose.

My Approach to Studio Setups

In the studio, I focus on safety and comfort. We use soft, natural lighting and simple props that do not overwhelm the baby. During sessions, I move around a lot to find angles that highlight those tiny details, from eyelashes to baby toes.

What You Can Expect

If you book a session, you are not just getting a photographer. You are getting a partner who will help style the shoot, manage the props, and ensure you and your baby have a stress-free experience. I am there to document your family as you are, creating images that feel real and personal.

I am Himakshi, and behind the lens, I am basically a professional peekaboo player. I believe the best baby photos come from patience and play, not from forcing a pose, so I am always ready with a song or a silly face to make your little one feel right at home.
