Studio sittings for babies from a few months old, booked around two working parents and one very specific good hour.
The scheduling problem nobody mentions
Both of you work. The baby is at their best at ten in the morning. That is a Saturday.
In most Kharadi households there is no grandparent at home to bring the baby along mid-week.
So the session has to land inside a narrow overlap: a weekend, in the morning, when the baby is fed and awake and neither parent is on a call. That is a much smaller target than families with relatives in the city are working with.
It is worth booking further ahead than the shoot itself would suggest. Weekend morning slots are the ones every working parent wants, and a mid-week slot that suits your baby perfectly is no use if nobody can take them.
If one of you can come alone, say so when you book. It changes how we run the session — more hands-free setups, fewer arrangements that assume a second adult is free to help.
The weekday option is worth mentioning even though it rarely applies here. If either of you has a day off midweek, or if a visiting grandparent could bring the baby, mid-morning on a Tuesday is a better hour for a baby and a quieter one at the studio.
Most families cannot use that, which is precisely why weekend slots are the constraint. But it is worth asking the question once rather than assuming Saturday is the only possibility.
The other thing weekends change is how many people come. A Saturday session frequently arrives with both parents plus whoever is visiting, which is fine but worth telling us so the room is set up for an audience rather than for two.
If your baby has a genuinely reliable good hour, protect it. Everything else about the morning can move; that cannot, and sessions built around it go visibly better.
Booking two sittings a few months apart is worth considering. Babies change enough in twelve weeks that the second set is a different child, and we keep the treatment consistent so they sit together.
Getting ready
Getting a Saturday morning to work
Protect the morning. A session at ten that follows a supermarket run and two phone calls starts with parents who are already behind, and babies read that faster than anyone gives them credit for.
Bring more feeds than the session should need and a full change of clothes. The one thing you did not bring is reliably the one thing that would have saved the middle twenty minutes.
If only one of you can come, say so when you book rather than on the day. We set the session up differently so that whoever comes is never being asked to hold a reflector and a baby simultaneously.
Planning it
Working out the slot
Which weekend mornings are genuinely free, and how far ahead you can commit. These are the slots every working parent in Kharadi wants, so the families who get the good ones are the ones who ask early.
What your baby's routine actually is, rather than what it is supposed to be. We fit the session to the hour they are reliably at their best.
And whether the photographs are for sending or printing. Both are straightforward; they are not identical, and knowing beforehand costs nothing.

Do you have weekend slots?
Yes, and they are the ones that fill first. Ask early and tell us which weekend mornings work — we would rather hold the right slot than squeeze you into the wrong one.
Only one of us can come. Does that work?
It works fine. Tell us in advance and we will set the session up so you are never being asked to hold a reflector and a baby at the same time.
What if the baby is asleep when we arrive?
Then they sleep. We wait, or we start with whatever they will tolerate. A baby photographed against their will is obvious in every frame.
Which areas near Kharadi do you photograph babies for?
Kharadi, Wadgaon Sheri, Viman Nagar, Keshav Nagar, Mundhwa, Chandan Nagar and Vishrantwadi are the closest, and we take bookings across Pune.
Do you have Saturday and Sunday slots?
Yes, and they are the first to go. Tell us which weekends work and ask early rather than waiting until the month you want.
Can a grandparent bring the baby instead of us?
Yes, if that is easier while they are visiting. Just tell us beforehand who is coming and whether you want the parents in any frames.
What if the baby is having a bad morning?
We slow down and work with what we get. An honest set of an awake, unsettled baby beats an hour spent chasing poses that were never coming.
Can we book two sessions a few months apart?
Yes, and it is worth doing. Babies change enough in three months that the two sets are genuinely different, and we can keep the treatment consistent between them.
What if only one of us can come?
Entirely workable, and common here. Tell us beforehand so the session is set up around one adult rather than assuming a second pair of hands.
How old is too old for a baby sitting?
There is no upper limit; the session simply changes. Older babies sit, grab and make eye contact, which produces a different and often better set.
Can we bring a favourite toy or blanket?
Please do. Objects with a story attached are what make a set of baby photographs specific to your family rather than generic.
Do you photograph at home as well as at the studio?
Yes. Home means nothing to pack and a baby in familiar surroundings; the studio gives controlled warmth and light.
Do you photograph twins?
Yes, and it needs more time rather than different technique. Tell us at booking so the slot is long enough.
Can we reschedule if the baby is ill?
Of course. Tell us as early as you can and we will move it rather than pushing through a session nobody will enjoy.
Which weekend suits?
Send us a couple of options and your baby’s usual good hour, and we will match them up.
