About First Birthday & Cake Smash
Why I Love First Birthdays
One year goes by so fast - I know parents feel this! I’m all about catching those genuine giggles and curious looks that make your little one unique. These sessions aren’t just about photos, they’re about memories for your whole tribe.
How It Works
I break the shoot into three parts so it’s fun for your baby and relaxed for you:
- Start with classic portraits on a creative birthday theme
- Next, the messy cake smash photoshoot (get ready for sugar, grins, and cake everywhere)
- Finish with a baby bubble bath shoot for those happy, splashy moments
Themes and Setups
My studio in Mumbai is stacked with props and backdrops. Bring your own ideas or pick from favorites like boho, memory lane, or even quirky chef setups. I make sure the setting feels personal and playful - you can choose anything from earthy boho to dreamy sky.
Family in the Frame
Family birthday portraits are always welcome here. I get parents, siblings, even grandparents in for a few shots. These group photos always end up being everyone's favorite.
What to Expect
I keep the vibe comfy and safe. With 7+ years experience and 1500 families photographed, I know how to work around baby moods and family quirks. I’m certified, love what I do, and want the experience to feel chill for everyone. Studio shoots are most popular, but we can do outdoor garden sessions too if that's your thing.
