From the first quiet breath to the softest sigh, the arrival of a newborn is a moment of wonder, humility and pure joy. For parents who wish to preserve this fleeting season with elegance and heart, Akanksha Masih Photography offers a newborn photography experience that goes far beyond the typical portrait session.

Why Newborn Photography Matters
The first days of a baby’s life are packed with magic and transformation. Tiny toes, wrinkled skin, gentle yawns — these are not just cute details, they are the literal beginning of a family’s story. At Akanksha Masih Photography, the newborn session is designed to honour that story. According to their approach, they capture not just a picture, but a feeling: the softness of new life, the tenderness of parents discovering their baby, the connection still fragile but already unbreakable.
Parents often remark that those early weeks pass in a blur: feeding, change, sleep, repeat. Having professional portraits from that time gives you a pause—a chance to look back, to reflect, and remember how those small, quiet moments felt. In that sense, newborn photography becomes legacy work: art for the walls, memories for the heart.
A Calm Environment for Precious Beginnings
What distinguishes Akanksha Masih’s newborn work is the atmosphere they create. A newborn shoot isn’t rushed. It moves gently, allowing for feedings, comfort breaks and the baby’s rhythm. The studio is warm, welcoming, safe. Every pose is chosen with the baby’s comfort first. As described in a write-up of her newborn sessions: “Safety is always the top priority… the sessions typically take place within the first 5–15 days after birth, when babies are sleepier and easier to pose.”
That window is wise. In those first days, babies tend to curl in naturally, sleep deeply, and are more adaptable to gentle posing. Capturing them then means you can create images that reflect their quiet newborn nature, rather than the more alert, active baby they will become in a few weeks. The result: photos that feel timeless.
The Artistic Approach
Akanksha Masih’s style is rooted in simplicity, emotion and elegance. Instead of loud props or heavy staging, the focus remains on your baby and your family’s moment. One piece summarising her work says: “Her minimalist, soft-toned style keeps the focus entirely on your baby.”
That means softer backgrounds, gentle light, natural poses. Mom and Dad might hold the baby, sibling may reach to touch, little hands are visible. The studio offers beautiful options but keeps them tasteful and complimentary, letting the baby’s personality and the family’s bond shine. The goal: images that aren’t trendy or time-bound, but that you’ll look at ten years from now and feel the same emotion.
What to Expect from a Session
When you book a newborn session with Akanksha Masih Photography, here’s what the process might look like:
- You schedule the shoot ideally in advance (many families book during pregnancy) so you’re ready when your baby arrives.
- The studio adapts to baby’s timing—feeding, soothing, breaks are built in. You’re not rushed.
- You have wardrobe and styling guidance if you like. Though for the baby, minimal is often best. For parents, simple, clean outfits help maintain focus on the baby.
- The session may include a variety of poses and setups, but always with baby’s comfort and safety as key.
- After the day of the shoot, you’ll receive a selection of images, professionally edited, made ready for prints, albums or digital keepsakes.
- You walk away not just with pictures, but with something you’ll display, share and revisit — images that tell your newborn’s first chapter.

Preparing for Your Session: A Few Tips
- Try to book early: newborn sessions fill fast.
- Pack the essentials: a couple of outfit options for you, maybe a blanket or special wrap for the baby, though the studio may provide.
- Bring calm energy. Your baby will respond to the tone of the room.
- Be open to feeding or calming breaks. The best images come when baby is comfortable and settled.
- Relax and lean on the photographer’s guidance. With someone experienced, you’ll be guided in poses, lighting and timing so you can focus on your baby.
The Gift of Time: Why These Images Matter
Years from now, when your baby is crawling, walking or maybe even graduating, there will come a moment when you look back and say: remember when they were this small? Those tiny fingers. That sleepy yawn. The way they curled into your arms. Without those photographs, those memories can fade faster than you might expect.
With a newborn photo session by Akanksha Masih Photography, you’re investing in something far more valuable than a photoshoot. You’re choosing to capture a beginning — a tender, fragile, luminous beginning — and preserve it with artistry, care and heart.
If you’re ready to mark your baby’s arrival with images that tell your story, honour your newborn, and give you memories to hold on to, this experience may be exactly what you’re looking for.
