Photography diary: 2017

When I met Vedant for the first time in April 2014 for his baby photo shoot, he was a 6 month old baby boy. He was a very happy and playful child. I went to their home for the photo session carrying a few props with me. At the time I didn't have as many as I have now :)

You can find more pictures from Vedant's photo shoot here.

It was a nice surprise when I got an email from Vedant's mom a few years later. She wanted to book a family photo session. Baby boy was already a 4 year old. They wanted a studio and a sunny garden photo session. It was monsoon and was raining quite a lot. Even when there was no rain the sky was overcast and cloudy. We could do the studio session in August, but once we were ready to go to the garden it was raining, so the garden session was postponed for a later date in hopes of better weather.

Both Vedant's parents have a tight schedule, so we could plan time for photography only on Saturdays. Due to this, time and weather only matched in November. We had a really nice sunny evening in the forest, had a nice walk in the fresh air on outskirts of Pune. However we couldn't avoid mosquitoes and spiders which love nature :)

Vedant's favorite color is orange, so we incorporated clothes and props in this color to keep the memories for a lifetime. I strongly believe that these pictures will remind him a lot of his childhood when he grows up!

While he was a happy and smiling baby boy of 6 months, he became quite a moody personality when he was 4 years old, which is very common for this age. But he was really enjoying playing with his favorite orange balloon.

and catching soap bubbles.

He liked playing on the swings as well.

Vedant was scared of spiders and was happy and relieved when his dad saved him from them!

Although he is a 4 year old boy, he loved it when his mom was carrying him home when he felt tired :)

Eagerly waiting to see this wonderful family again :)

Here at the Edita Photography studio, Pune, we specialize in maternity (pregnancy) photography, newborn photography, baby photography, toddler and child Photography. We also perform family photo shoots.

The photo session would take place at the studio, which is located in Bavdhan. One of the rooms is dedicated solely to provide a private location for you to baby feed and change clothing. The studio has plenty of natural light which is ideal for newborn babies as they are sensitive to flash photography. Professional Studio lights are available for circumstances when natural light is insufficient such as during cloudy weather conditions. The photographer will choose the lighting which works best for each photo shoot. A gorgeous garden is available just outside the studio that can be used for outdoor sessions.

We have an array of Indian and International props available for use during sessions. These include bowls, baskets, different backgrounds, fur, flokati, handmade outfits, wraps, maternity gowns would be provided in the studio.

A professional make up artist can be provided to do make up and hair styling. This takes 1-1.5 hours and is done prior to the session.

To book a date for a photo session, please call 99 22 412 417 to find a date which is available as well as suitable for you. To confirm the date an advance payment is required. Once these formalities are done, the photographer will consult you about clothing and other details. The consultation can be done in person at the studio or over the phone.

Maternity (pre-maternity, pregnancy) photo session

Pregnancy brings a new meaning to the concept of beauty. It is a period of immense joy coupled with excitement. The feeling of carrying a little soul within you is magnificent. It may not always be comfortable having to deal with the cramps, the bloating, the swelling but it’s all in the name of the child within you. My job as a photographer is to capture this beauty and encapsulate it as a timeless memory.

The best time for maternity sessions is in the 8th month, however we shall consider health and other factors before setting a date.

Exclusive designer maternity gowns will be provided for the purpose of the shoot.

Pregnancy photo sessions last between 30 minutes and 3 hours, depending on the package.

Newborn photo session

Babies are like little suns that, in a magical way, bring warmth, happiness and light into our lives. – Kartini Diapari-Oengider

Newborn portraits are best taken within the first 2 weeks of the baby’s life, but are still possible up to the 4th week, depending on the baby’s cooperation. During these first weeks, the baby is still very sleepy and curly, folding itself into all of the adorable poses that families have grown to love. Premature babies may be scheduled for a session as soon as they are out of the hospital, around their original due date.

Edita has attended numerous workshops by some of the most renown newborn photographers in the world like Kelly Brown, Erin Elizabeth, Amy Mcdaniel and others. These workshops deal largely with the safe handling of babies. This has given her an in depth understanding of baby safety which is very important during these sessions.

Babies over 1 month are not called newborns any more, at least in regards to newborn photography. This age bracket falls under baby photography. Elder than 1 month babies typically don’t sleep as much, so most of the pictures would be of an awake baby. At around 3 months old babies start concentrating and focusing on faces and objects. They also smile a lot.

3-5 month babies stay on tummy for a longer time and most of them really enjoy it. So, we can capture these gorgeous expressions.
