Baby sittings in Dhanori — at the studio, or on the floor by your balcony door, which is where these usually work best at home.
Where a baby session actually happens
Not the nursery. The floor by the balcony door, in almost every flat.
Parents expect a baby session to happen in the nursery. It almost never does, because nurseries are the darkest room in the flat.
They are usually the smallest, often face a shaft or a neighbouring building, and are frequently painted a colour that casts onto skin. Everything that makes a nursery a good place for a baby to sleep makes it a poor place to photograph one.
The floor near the main window or balcony door is where the light is, and a rug and a blanket turn it into a perfectly good studio for an hour. This is worth saying in advance because families often spend the morning tidying the wrong room.
Once that is settled these sessions are straightforward. Baby on the floor, parents in frame or out of it as you prefer, and no equipment beyond what fits in a small bag.

The floor near the main window is where the light is, and a rug and a blanket turn it into a perfectly good studio for an hour.
This is worth saying in advance because families often spend the morning tidying the wrong room entirely.
Balcony doors deserve a mention of their own, because in most flats here they are the largest source of light in the place.
Opened, with a sheer curtain drawn across, they turn a corner of the living room into something close to a studio for an hour or two.
It costs nothing and it is consistently the best-lit spot in the flat.
Getting ready
Preparing the right room
Clear a patch of floor near the main window or balcony door, and a plain blanket or rug. That is genuinely the whole list.
Do not spend the morning tidying the nursery. It is almost always the darkest room in the flat and the session will not happen there.
Have your baby ready at their usual good hour rather than at a convenient time.
Planning it
What we ask
Which way the flat faces, so we know where the light will be.
Your baby's routine, so the session lands at their best hour.
And whether you want the parents in any frames, which changes the setup.

Should we tidy the nursery before you arrive?
Probably not the nursery. These sessions almost always happen near the main window or balcony door, because that is where the light is. Tidy that room instead.
What do we need to have ready?
A clear patch of floor near the window, a plain blanket or rug, and your baby at their usual good hour. That is genuinely the list.
Can we do it at the studio instead?
Yes, and it gives more control over background and warmth. Home is more convenient and the baby stays in familiar surroundings.
Which areas near Dhanori do you photograph babies for?
Dhanori, Lohegaon, Vishrantwadi, Tingre Nagar, Kalas, Viman Nagar and Wadgaon Sheri are the closest, and we take bookings across Pune.

Can a grandparent bring the baby?
Yes. Tell us who is coming and whether you want parents in any frames.
Do you photograph twins?
Yes, and it needs more time rather than different technique.
Can we bring a favourite blanket?
Please do. It makes the set specific to your family.
How do we book?
Send us the date and what you have in mind, and you get a clear quote for the coverage you actually need.
How soon do we receive the photographs?
Confirmed in writing at booking rather than left open.
Can you send a small set early?
Tell us at booking if it matters and we will prioritise it.
Do you travel outside Pune?
Yes, with travel agreed upfront before anything is booked.
Can we see examples before booking?
Yes. Tell us what you have in mind and we will show you work that matches it rather than a general portfolio.
Do you charge extra for travel within this area?
Travel is agreed upfront and confirmed in writing, so there is nothing to discover afterwards.
Can we speak to you before deciding?
Yes, and it is usually the fastest way to work out what you actually need.
How do we share the photographs afterwards?
You get an online gallery you can share, and tell us if prints or an album are wanted.
Clear a patch by the window
That plus your baby’s good hour is all the preparation a home sitting needs.
