Kids, Newborn and Child Photoshoot Sessions
Trusted Newborn, Infant and Kids Photographer across Bengaluru and Delhi NCR/ Gurugram
I am Shambhavi Kartik, a kids, newborn and child photographer with over 10 years of experience. I work with parents across Bengaluru, Delhi, Gurugram, Chennai and Noida.
Having built this practice across Delhi NCR over the years, I have now shifted base to Bangalore, bringing the same expertise and experience to newborn, baby and kids photoshoots there, while continuing to serve families across Delhi NCR and Gurugram.
My work focuses on newborn photography, infant photoshoots, kids lifestyle photography and candid family sessions. Every newborn baby photoshoot is planned around your baby's own schedule, feeds, naps and awake windows included, so the session moves at their pace instead of the other way around. This keeps babies comfortable and settled, and it shows in the final images.
These sessions are held inside your home, in a bright, well ventilated room, or outdoors in a scenic green space. Instead of stiff, forced kids photoshoot poses, you simply continue your everyday interaction with your child, playing, reading or just being together, while the moments are captured as they happen. A mix of photojournalistic and directed shots means every photo feels real, not staged.
Whether it is the comfort of your own house or a beautiful natural backdrop outdoors, the goal is to capture your child's true expressions, the ones you will want to look back on for years. From a newborn photoshoot in the early days to a child photoshoot as they grow, every session is built around what feels natural for your family.
Many parents want to gift their children something lasting, a way to celebrate their milestone birthdays through candid photographs rather than just posed portraits. I cover these milestone photoshoots, including 1st, 5th and 10th birthdays, as well as teenage shoots, all shaped around however you and your family want to celebrate and documented in a way that feels true to your family.
