Baby Shower & Dohale Jevan Photography
Coverage that stays out of the way of the day.
Explore Baby Shower & Dohale Jevan PhotographyGetting a whole family looking at the camera at the same time is a skill. We keep family sessions light and quick, mix guided group portraits with unposed moments, and let children be children rather than freezing them into a line.
What to expect
The hard part of family photography is not the camera. It is getting four, six or ten people looking in the same direction at the same moment while the youngest has decided they are finished.
We plan around that rather than fight it. Sessions are paced so younger children stay interested, group frames are done while everyone is fresh, and the unposed moments in between usually turn out to be the photographs families actually keep.
A family session is rarely one photograph repeated. Alongside the full family frame we work through the combinations — parents together, siblings, each child alone, grandparents with grandchildren — because those are the ones that end up on other people’s walls.
Tell us the group size and who you want photographed together when you enquire. Ten minutes of planning beforehand saves twenty minutes of organising on the day, and it means nobody important gets missed.
The studio in Wadgaon Sheri gives controlled light and a clean, classic result, and it is entirely weather-proof. For families with small children it also means no walking, no traffic and no surprises.
Outdoors gives something more relaxed, especially if there is a park or a spot in Pune your family already uses. If you go outdoors, the hour or two before sunset gives the softest light and is worth planning the session around.
Coordinated rather than matching is the rule that holds up best. A family in identical outfits reads as a uniform; a family in tones that sit together reads as a family. Solid colours and simple textures photograph better than busy prints, which pull the eye away from faces.
Pick one or two colours and let everyone work within them. If you are unsure, send us what you are considering before the day and we will tell you what will work.
The frames that matter most in a family session are often the ones with three generations in them, and they are the hardest to arrange because everyone is rarely in the same city on the same weekend. If you are planning around a visit, book early and tell us the dates you are working with.
Older relatives are photographed first, seated and comfortable, before the session moves on. Standing for a long stretch is not what makes a good portrait and there is no reason to ask anyone for it.
We work through the combinations deliberately — grandparents with all the grandchildren, then with each family in turn, then the full group. It takes a few extra minutes and it is the part nobody regrets afterwards.
These are also the photographs most likely to be printed. If there is a frame you already know you want enlarged, mention it during the session and we will shoot it with that in mind.
Our family photography studio is in Wadgaon Sheri, on the first floor, which puts it close to Viman Nagar, Kharadi, Kalyani Nagar, Chandan Nagar and the wider east Pune area.
If you are looking for a professional family photographer near you, we take bookings across Pune — Vishrantwadi, Yerawada, Koregaon Park, Hadapsar, Magarpatta, Kondhwa, Baner, Aundh, Wakad, Hinjewadi, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Wagholi and Undri included — and travel beyond the city for shoots that warrant it.
Sessions run either at the studio or on location, whichever suits the shoot. There is no fixed package: tell us what you have in mind and you get a clear quote for the coverage you actually need, with nothing hidden in the small print.
Before you book
Straight answers on timing, cost and what you actually receive. Anything else, just ask — we would rather explain it now than have you guess.
Tell us the group size when you enquire and we will plan the space and setup around it.
Coordinated rather than matching usually photographs best. We are happy to advise before the session.
Either. The studio gives a clean, classic look with controlled light; an outdoor spot you already like gives something more relaxed. Tell us which appeals and we will plan around it.
No, and we would rather they did not. Sessions are paced so younger children stay comfortable and interested, and the unposed moments in between usually turn out to be the photographs families keep.
Yes. Alongside the full family frame we photograph combinations — couples, siblings, grandparents with grandchildren. Tell us the group size and who you want together when you enquire.
For an outdoor session, the hour or two before sunset gives the softest light. In the studio the time matters far less, so we can work around naps and school.
It depends on the size of the group, whether we shoot in the studio or at a location you choose, and how many combinations you want photographed. We do not publish a fixed price because no two are the same. Tell us what you have in mind and we will come back with a clear quote — nothing hidden in the small print.
Coordinated rather than matching. A family in identical outfits reads as a uniform; a family in tones that sit together reads as a family. Pick one or two colours, favour solid shades over busy prints, and let everyone work within them.
Around one to two hours for most families. Sessions are paced so younger children stay interested, with the full group frames taken early while everyone is fresh.
That is normal and it is planned for rather than fought. Group frames are done first, and the unposed moments in between usually turn out to be the photographs families actually keep.
The studio gives controlled light, a classic result and no weather risk, which suits families with small children. Outdoors is more relaxed, especially somewhere your family already uses, and works best in the hour or two before sunset.
Yes, and three-generation frames are often the ones that matter most. Tell us the group size and who you want photographed together when you enquire, so nobody important gets missed on the day.
Yes. Home sessions suit families with very young children and produce a more relaxed, lived-in set. Tell us which rooms get the best daylight and we will plan around them.
Ask how they handle young children who will not sit still, and whether group frames come first. A photographer who plans around short patience rather than fighting it will get you more usable photographs. Ask to see a full family set including the unposed frames.
