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. Remaining amount needs to be paid after the shoot is completed in cash. Please note that we do not have swipe machines.

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 and usually that is enough but if you need to meet us, please feel free to come. Please note that pre-shoot planning is a must and we do not take any shoot without planning. The best time for a new-born shoot is from 5 to 15 days because that is the time when the baby will be sleeping most of the time and the bones are not developed yet, making the body very flexible. They tend to get stiffer with time and the body becomes more sensitive to touch and hence it is difficult to make them pose. If the baby crosses one month, then we may or may not be able to get the sleeping shots especially those in which the baby is lying down on the stomach. In some of the shoots, we are able to get the sleeping shots but there are some occurrences where the babies wake up as soon as they are touched or re-positioned. Though it is very tough to plan the newborn shoot and execute it in exactly the same way, we still will need to know your preferences and priorities based on which we arrange the setups.

c.      The Shoot:

Newborn shoots will be done at our studio. For Newborn, we provide wraps, blankets, fur mats, woolen dresses, headbands, tiaras, tutu dresses and pearl necklaces etc. You will need to bring a pacifier for the baby which might be needed in extreme conditions if the baby is not cooperating. We understand that doctors advise not to use the pacifier in regular use. Even we would not advise to use it on a regular basis but for the shoot, we might need it for a couple of minutes which will not have any negative impact, and that too only if the baby is not cooperating at all. Usually, it is needed more in case the baby have crossed the recommended age for the newborn shoots.

Please note that new-born shoots may look very easy but it is the toughest stage. The samples are in the link shared at the end of this page. Please feel free to ask any queries.

d.      Processing:

Once the payment is settled, we will share the unedited pics in 3-4 days. Then you would need to select the pics for editing as per the count mentioned in the package. Once we get the selected filenames of the pics to be edited, We take 3-4 weeks to edit the photos. Please select the pics judicially as it takes enormous amount of time and effort to edit. Once the pics are edited, the edited images can not be replaced as it would require the editing process to be repeated.

EARLY EDITING : 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.

Terms and Conditions

1. IMPORTANT : We will use the photos for our own business promotion (social media, our website etc) and showing the pics as our sample work to future clients. But In case if you want us not to use the photos to display our work, you can prevent that by paying 25% extra on the package price. But that has to be discussed before booking the shoot. Once the shoot is done, we will not even accept the extra 25% for the copyrights. Many times, we are working for our own creative satisfaction and not exactly for the amount being paid. Therefore, we end up going extra miles in terms of time, effort, planning and investment. In such cases we will definitely showcase our work on social media. Please make sure you discuss it with us before booking the shoot that you do not want your photos to be displayed on social media.
2. Balance amount of the package must be paid after the completion of photo shoot to avoid any delay in delivery of edited photos. Photos will be given ONLY after the receipt of the full balance amount.
3. Only that person/child will be captured for whom the package is booked. No other person/child will be entertained in the scheduled package. Shooting more people will lead to extra charges depending on the extended number of pictures and this must be informed at least a day before the shoot. In case a photo is required with the extended family, it should be discussed.
4. The client must reach the scheduled location in time. We do understand that it is not always easy with the babies, so we will keep a buffer of maximum 30 minutes but beyond that the time period will be cut short from the desired hours of the shoot.
5. If the shoot is cancelled by a customer due to non co-operation of a child or due to any other reason, the booking amount received will not be refunded, but the shoot will be rescheduled on any other day as per our availability of date and time.
