About The First Chapters: Maternity & Newborn
Newborn photography is best done when your baby is 15 to 20 days old. During this short window, they are usually in a deep, sleepy state which allows me to pose them safely and comfortably. If you are expecting, please reach out during your third trimester so we can pencil in a tentative date around your due date.
Your Baby’s First Days
I view these sessions as more than just a photo shoot; they are the start of your family’s documented journey. My studio in Navi Mumbai is designed with your baby’s comfort in mind, providing a safe and controlled environment where we don't have to rush. Whether you want to capture the anticipation of your maternity period or the tiny, delicate features of your newborn, my goal is to freeze those honest emotions.
Why the Timing Matters
Many parents ask when to schedule their session. For newborns, that 15 to 20-day window is essential. It is when babies are most flexible and settled, making it possible to create those gentle, timeless poses without causing them any discomfort. For maternity shoots, I recommend booking when you feel your most radiant, usually around the 28th to 32nd week of pregnancy, though we can adjust based on how you feel.
A Safe, Personal Approach
My studio sessions are simple and focused. I avoid heavy props that distract from your baby or your family’s connection. Instead, I use neutral backdrops and natural light to keep the spotlight on the raw, unfiltered love between you and your child.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Where do the shoots happen? I operate a dedicated studio in Navi Mumbai. We can also plan outdoor lifestyle sessions in local parks if you prefer a more natural, candid setting.
- What should we wear? I provide guidance on color coordination before the shoot. For newborns, we focus on wraps and textures that don't irritate delicate skin.
- Can siblings be included? Absolutely. Including older siblings in maternity or newborn sessions is a beautiful way to show the expanding family bond.
My process is built around patience. If a baby needs to feed or be soothed, we pause. We work at the baby's pace because that is where the real magic happens.
