About Newborn, Kids & Family Photography
Why I Do What I Do
I love freezing those tiny, blink-and-you-miss-it moments for families. From your baby’s first days to their wild toddler years, I’m here to help you hold on to every stage. I’m based in Mumbai, and my studio is set up to make you and your little ones feel at home.
Newborn Shoots: Tiny Toes, Big Feels
The best time for posed newborn portraits is when your baby is 15-20 days old. They’re sleepy, curly, and just perfect for those dreamy, swaddled setups. I use soft wraps, cute props like baskets and buckets, and can do creative themed baby shoots - clouds, flowers, even desi (traditional) looks like Radha. Parents, you’re in the frame too - those tiny feet in your hands, that’s a memory you’ll want forever.
Milestones & Growing Up Fast
Babies change so quickly. I offer milestone baby photography for every stage:
- Chubby baby sessions (3-4 months) for those adorable rolls
- Sitter sessions (6+ months) - think bathtub splash with flowers
- First birthday shoots with fairy-tale or classic setups
Family, Siblings & Twins
I love capturing sibling and family photo sessions. Whether it’s all of you together or just the kids, I’ll guide you so everyone looks and feels natural. Twins and siblings get their own special attention - their bond is something else.
What’s It Like?
My studio is comfy and safe. I’ve got props, outfits, wraps - you just bring yourselves. After the shoot, you’ll get high-quality, edited images in color and black & white. No stress, just memories.
