What Dhiraj is known for

A real understanding of how small children behave.

He works around a baby's mood swings rather than against them, staying patient and gentle when a toddler simply won't sit still — and that keeps every session smooth and stress-free for parents watching on.

There's an easy, humble warmth to how he runs a shoot: punctual arrivals, quick replies to questions, and a hassle-free process from the first message to the final frame. It's the kind of steady professionalism that lets nervous first-time parents relax and let the moment happen.

Sessions

From the bump to the first birthday — one photographer for the whole journey.

Indoor sessions come with a good spread of themed backdrops and props, and baby & mother dresses are part of the setup, so parents can arrive light and let the studio handle the styling.

Core work

Baby & newborn

Delicate infant portraits and milestone sessions marking six months and the all-important first year — captured at whatever pace keeps the little one settled.

Expecting

Maternity

Solo or as a couple, with indoor setups and gentle posing guided step by step — best planned for the later stages of pregnancy when the bump is well defined.

Celebrations

Birthdays & pre-birthday

Pre-birthday shoots and birthday-day photography, capturing candid moments alongside reels and video — with the shoot extended when the event runs late.

Events

Ceremonies & showers

Naming ceremonies and baby showers covered on location, with candid stills, reels and event video edited to the same standard.

Why parents choose the studio

Inclusive packages, no surprise add-ons.

A single booking already folds in the themed indoor backdrops, props and the baby & mother dresses — so there are no surprise charges for the things a family assumes they'll have to arrange themselves.

Maternity and baby milestone sessions can be planned together as a combined run, keeping the whole journey — bump, newborn, six-month, first birthday — with one photographer who already knows the child.

And there's a flexibility that's easy to underrate: when a birthday runs late, Dhiraj extends the shoot rather than packing up on the clock. After the day, families receive both the raw files and the edited, retouched images — often within a day or two, and same-day in some cases.

★★★★★

“We had a great experience working with Dhiraj for both our baby's pre-birthday shoot and birthday day photography. The package was reasonably priced and included dresses for both the baby and the mother, which was very convenient. Dhiraj was professional throughout, and the final edits on the photos and reels turned out really good. He was on time and even extended the shoot a bit since the event got delayed, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend Dhiraj for baby photoshoots and birthday events.”

★★★★★

“We recently had a 1-year-old milestone photoshoot at The Happy Snaps studio, and the experience was exceptional. Capturing a busy toddler is no easy feat, but they were incredibly patient and had a magical way of making our daughter feel comfortable and happy. The studio was calm, very hygienic, and perfectly equipped with beautiful props. If you're looking for a professional who truly understands child psychology and safety, I highly recommend Dhiraj's studio.”

Sushila C.

★★★★★

“We did a 6-month baby shoot with Dhiraj and are very happy with the pictures. They provide very affordable packages for indoor photoshoots and have nice background setups and baby dresses included in the package. With a 6-month baby it's hard to get good snaps but he did amazing work. Our session was quick and edited photos along with raw images were provided within 2 days.”

“We have been working with Dhiraj since our maternity shoots, then my daughter's naming ceremony, her birthday, her pre-birthday shoots and so on. The experience has been amazing. The professionalism, creativity and attention shine through in every photograph and video. We are grateful to have found a photographer we can trust for our special memories.”

“I went for my baby's photoshoot and it was a really nice experience — fantastic and fabulous. He handled my baby so gently and professionally. He has a lot of patience, which made me feel very comfortable as a parent. Even though I was late, he completely understood and cooperated without any complaints. Highly recommended for baby photoshoots.”

“I recently had the most wonderful experience with Dhiraj for my maternity shoot, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the moment we met, he made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. His professionalism and creative vision were evident throughout the entire process.”
