Headraiser Packages

Babies are in Head raiser stage when they are able to raise their head looking forward when they are made to lie down on the stomach. Usually this stage is somewhere between 4 to 7 months depending on the baby’s growth.

Why Parul and Ankur Kaushal Photography?

1. We have been trend setters in setting up new themes and we are always eager to implement new ideas if you have any.

2. We use full frame cameras with high end lenses like 24-70mm f2.8, 70-200mm f2.8, 85mm . 

3. Despite the fact that we have a large number of props and themes, our focus still remains to capture the babies in the best possible way and you will find the babies smiling in most of our final pics.

4. We have the largest baby photography studio in bangalore with the extra advantage of having a changing/feeding room, pantry etc in the studio. We will also provide baby toiletries like baby shampoo/body wash, lotion, powder, baby wipes, towel etc in case if bathing is required after a cake smashing shoot. 

5. We have a good experience in photo editing and hence that is a very important part of our workflow. We use large screen IPS panel displays for editing with spyder 5 pro for monitor calibration thus improving the tone of the colors.

6. Our studio premises and all the props are sanitized as per WHO guidelines after every shoot. Please check our website for details. Apart from that, we give stress on the safety of the baby during the shoots. If the baby is moving a lot or is unstable, we will deploy one person specifically to guard and protect the baby from falling down and getting hurt.

The Photoshoot Process:

a.      Payments: We take 50% of the total amount as the booking charges. Booking will be confirmed when the payment is made. The amount needs to be deposited into our bank account or paytm. Remaining amount needs to be paid after the shoot is completed in cash.

IMPORTANT : Once the time slot for the shoot is finalized and we have shared the account details, payment is required to be made within 6 hours and if not made, that slot will be considered as open for other clients. We suggest you to use IMPS as the payment method to avoid delays, for example in case of bank holidays.

b.      Pre-shoot Planning:

The process starts form shoot planning in which we discuss the details like dresses, themes etc. Usually, the pre-shoot planning will freeze at-least 2 days before the shoot. The discussions will be done on phone/ whatsapp and basically that is enough to cater to the needs of the shoot. Please note that pre-shoot planning is a must and we do not take any shoot without planning. 

The timings for the shoot shall be discussed in the pre shoot planning. Setting a proper timing is very very important for the shoot to be a success. Best time for the shoot is usually after the babies complete their sleep. Usually they will be awake and active for around 2 hours after the sleep and that is the time we leverage for the shoot. For example, if the baby takes a nap at around 12 noon and wakes up at around 2. In that case you can take the 2 pm slot for the shoot. Suppose if it takes 30 mins to reach till our place, you can start from your home at 1:30 while the baby is sleeping. The best thing to happen is that the baby wakes up just before the shoot. Please do not forget to bring the feed for the baby.

Sometimes, there is no proper sleeping cycle for the baby and sleep timings are erratic. In that case, we suggest you plan the shoot on a weekday because we will usually be more flexible on weekdays as most people want weekend slots.

c.      The Shoot:

Shoots will be done at our studio.

We may provide dresses for some themes. We also provide accessories such as ties, bows, suspenders, caps, hats, goggles, specs, headbands, tiaras.

It is advisable not to bring extended family during the shoot as it causes lots of distraction for the baby. It may not always be true but the success rate of getting good pics is low when there are more people around as the baby keeps looking in all directions and hardly look at the camera.

d.      Processing:

We take 3-4 weeks to edit the photos and we will share the edited and unedited pics together. If you need the unedited pics, you can ask us once you make the full payment and we will share via wetransfer. We will choose the best photos for processing or you can also choose them.  Once you have made the selection, we take 3-4 weeks for processing. If you want the processed photos early, we have a quick-edit offer, where we will provide the edited pics within a week at 10% extra cost but that will be subjected to our availability.

e.      Prints:

We do not have an in-house printing facility and thus we outsource it. The print outs are usually not a part of the package but we can provide them on demand. The pricing may be more than the market price.

Themes:

Theme is a setup which is done to capture the photographs. For example, in a chef theme, fruits , vegetables, utensils etc are placed and the baby is made to wear an apron and a hat to give that feel. Each theme would cost you 5k.

In case there is any confusion, please feel free to talk to us. Our package pricing is totally based on the themes you choose. Themes will have to be finalized well before the shoot. Ideas about the themes can also be discussed if you have any. Feel free to call us for any sort of customization.
