About Newborn Photography
Why I Do This
I love freezing those blink-and-you-miss-it moments when a family grows. For me, newborn photography is about more than just cute faces - it’s about the tiny details and the real connections. I get to be part of your story, even if it’s just for a few hours, and that’s honestly the best part of my job.
What I Capture
Your baby’s first days are magic, but they slip away fast. I focus on newborn detail shots - the little hands, sleepy smiles, and how your baby fits perfectly in your arms. These photos are memories you’ll want to hold onto, not just pictures for the wall.
How I Work
People call me a baby whisperer, and I guess it’s true - I’m all about baby-led posing. I’ll sing, make silly faces, and do whatever it takes to keep your little one comfy. Sessions are slow, gentle, and always led by what your baby needs. If your baby needs a break, we take it. No rush.
Styles & Themes
Every family is different, so I offer a mix of classic minimalist looks, creative props, and family newborn portraits. You can go for simple neutral tones or get creative with boho, floral, or fun themed setups. Siblings and pets are always welcome in the frame.
Planning Ahead
The best time for those sleepy, curled-up poses is in the first two weeks. My calendar fills up fast, so planning ahead helps us make your session just right.

My Story
Hey, I’m Himakshi - Squint and Smile is just me with my camera, chasing real moments. I get a kick out of catching those blink-and-you-miss-it smiles, messy birthday giggles, and the little chaos that makes family... well, family. Not here for stiff poses or fake grins. I just want you to look back and feel the love, every time. Lucky to do what I love, honestly.
My Work
Family & Baby Shoots - I do maternity, newborn, baby, toddler, and family sessions. Milestone portraits and cake smash sessions too.
Minimal & Fun Styles - Love minimal newborn photography, but also totally up for Pinterest-inspired baby shoots and playful themes.
Real Moments, Real Memories - You just be you. I’ll capture the giggles, cuddles, and all that real family love.
Custom Props & Themes - Loads of wraps, props, and backdrops. Want a rainbow or sailor vibe? Let’s make it happen.
