Newborn Photography
How do you ensure the safety of newborns during photo sessions?
At Deep Achtani Photography, we prioritize the safety and comfort of newborns above all else. Here are some of the measures we take to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience:
- Experienced Photographers: Deep and Amrita are experienced photographers who have specialised training in newborn photography. They are skilled in handling delicate newborns with care and patience.
- Safe Posing Techniques: We use gentle and safe posing techniques that support the baby's natural position and avoid any strain on their fragile bones or muscles.
- Warm and Comfortable Environment: We maintain a warm and comfortable environment during the photo session to ensure the baby's comfort.
- Short Sessions: We keep newborn photo sessions short to minimize stress for the baby and allow for frequent breaks.
- Parental Input: We always involve parents in the decision-making process and ensure that they are comfortable with the poses and lighting.
What is the best time to book a newborn photography session?
The best time to book a newborn photography session is within the first two weeks after your baby is born. During this period, newborns are still very sleepy and malleable, making it easier to pose them for beautiful photos. Additionally, their skin is still soft and delicate, creating a timeless look.
However, we understand that in India, it's customary for babies to not leave the house until 40 days. To accommodate this tradition, we recommend that newborns can be easily photographed until 2 months. The posing will depend on the baby's age and development. For example, younger newborns might be posed in a swaddle or wrapped, while older newborns may be able to be posed in a variety of positions.
We also understand that mothers undergo recovery and stress managing the new lifestyle. Therefore, we recommend scheduling a session when the mother is feeling fine and is able to move around with ease.
If you prefer to have your baby photographed at your residence, we can plan a session at your place. Please note that there will be an additional transportation cost as we need to carry our setup and props to recreate the studio experience.

Kids and Toddlers
What is the best age for a kids or toddler photography session?
The best age for a kids or toddler photography session depends on your child's personality and development. Generally speaking, younger children (ages 1-3) are often more playful and curious, making them ideal candidates for candid and fun-filled photo sessions.
However, older toddlers (ages 3-5) may be more cooperative and able to follow directions, making it easier to capture more posed and traditional portraits. Ultimately, the best age for your child's photo session will depend on their individual temperament and what you're hoping to achieve.

At Deep Achtani Photography, we understand that children can be unpredictable. Here are some strategies we employ to handle fussy or energetic children during photo sessions:
- Patience and Flexibility: We approach each session with patience and flexibility, understanding that children may have their own unique personalities and energy levels.
- Engaging Activities: We use a variety of engaging activities and props to capture the child's attention and keep them entertained. This can include toys, bubbles, or even simple games.
- Short Breaks: If a child becomes overwhelmed or fussy, we take short breaks to allow them to relax and recharge.
- Parental Involvement: We encourage parents to interact with their children during the session, as this can help them feel more comfortable and relaxed.
- Candid Photography: We often focus on capturing candid moments to showcase the child's natural personality and energy.
Do you offer outdoor photography sessions for kids and toddlers?
Yes, we offer outdoor photography sessions for kids and toddlers. Outdoor sessions provide a more natural and relaxed setting for children to play and explore. We can choose a location that is suitable for the child's age and interests, such as a park, a beach, or a botanical garden.
Outdoor sessions also allow us to capture the child's personality and energy in a more dynamic and authentic way. We can use natural light and beautiful backdrops to create stunning and memorable photos.

Family and Lifestyle Portraits
What is the best time of year for family portraits?
The best time of year for family portraits depends on your personal preferences and the overall look and feel you want to achieve.

Yes, we provide a curated selection of props and color schemes to complement our signature style, which focuses on warm, natural, and earthy tones.

For newborn and kids’ sessions, we offer soft blankets, rustic baskets, and delicate accessories that align with our minimalistic approach. For family and maternity sessions, we use subtle props and color palettes that evoke warmth and timelessness. We also collaborate with you to customize the setup, ensuring it reflects your preferences while staying true to our natural and earthy aesthetic.


Maternity Photography
When is the best time for a maternity photo session?

- Visible Baby Bump: Your belly is typically well-rounded and prominent, showcasing the beauty of your pregnancy.
- Comfort Level: Most women feel relatively comfortable and energetic during this stage.
- Time Before Delivery: It provides a buffer before the baby arrives, allowing time for editing and delivery of the photos.
