Newborn — Berlin — days 5 to 14
Baby-led, never rushed.
Sharmeli photographs your newborn, and Ashok or an assistant is always there with her. You're in the room the whole time.
Baby-led, never rushed
Two to three hours, with breaks for feeding and settling whenever your baby needs them.
Days 5–14, held open
Reserve around your due date and we hold a window rather than a fixed day — an early or late arrival changes nothing.
Always two in the room
Sharmeli photographs, and Ashok or an assistant is always there with her.
Your baby's safety
Trained, not improvised
Sharmeli trained specifically in newborn photography and safe posing, and poses only within what a days-old body allows.
Never unsupported
Anything that looks precarious in a photograph is a composite of two safe frames — a baby is never left unsupported.
Clean, every session
Wraps, layers and props are cleaned between every single session.
You are in the room
Always. You can pause, feed or hold your baby at any moment, without asking.
Your ceremony, understood
If your session sits alongside a naming ceremony or a seemantham, we learn the order of things — and who needs to be in which frame — beforehand.
The same faces throughout
From your first message to your finished gallery you deal only with the two of us — plus an assistant on newborn shoot days.

Before you ask
What if the baby comes early — or late?
Nothing breaks. We hold a window rather than a date, so the session moves with your baby. Message us when they arrive and we confirm a day inside days 5 to 14.
What if my baby cries the whole time?
Most do, at some point. That's why we plan two to three hours — breaks for feeding and settling are part of the session.
Can siblings come?
Yes — we photograph them first, while they still have patience.
Do we have to book while pregnant?
It's best. Days 5 to 14 is a narrow window — most families reserve between week 30 and 36.
Do you come to us?
Depending on the package: First Chapter has no travel fee within Berlin, Gentle Beginnings has a €30 travel fee within Berlin, and Tiny Wonder is a studio session.
