Lil E's Turning One Photoshoot in Dwarka, Delhi
Indoor Candid Photoshoot for a First Birthday Milestone, Soft Play and Studio Session
We shot E's first birthday milestone photoshoot as a mix of candid, natural moments and a posed studio session. Combining both styles in one shoot gives parents the best of both worlds, real unplanned moments along with a few clean, timeless portraits.
We started the indoor shoot at Fundays, a popular soft play area for infants and toddlers in Dwarka, and wrapped it up at my home studio. E was thrilled the moment he walked in, surrounded by vivid colours and so many buttons to push, quite literally. He crawled up the little staircase, went down the soft slide more times than we could count and had a blast exploring every corner.
What made this shoot even more special was a small personal detail. E's father and I had gone to the same college, and little coincidences like that always add warmth to a session. It stops feeling like just another shoot and starts feeling like catching up with an old friend, while documenting a big milestone for their little one.
This is exactly why I enjoy doing turning one photoshoots at soft play areas. It gives babies a familiar, fun environment to be themselves in, while still allowing room for a few posed studio portraits to round off the milestone properly.
