BESPOKE CHILDREN PORTRAITS FOR SENTIMENTAL MOTHERS

Inspired by the free spirit and creativity of children

What makes our children portraits truly special?

Imagine a session where your child’s happiness takes centre stage. Our children’s portraits are a celebration of their childhood. We create a space where they can play, laugh and just be themselves, capturing the magic of your child’s spirit.

Every detail is thoughtfully curated, from dreamy outfits to delicate props, to craft portraits that not only mesmerise but also uplift.

These portraits are designed to inspire confidence and a sense of belonging, nurturing their growing hearts with the beauty of who they are.

OUR PORTRAITS OF YOUR CHILDREN WILL FILL YOUR HOME WITH LOVE & JOY.

These personalised portrait sessions are for you if:

  • Your kids love outdoor adventures.
  • You’re over the usual “say cheese” photos.
  • You dream of portraits that not only celebrate your child but also capture glimpses of their childhood.
  • You’re worried your kids might not cooperate during the shoot.
  • You want to fill your home with beautiful portraits instead of blank walls.
  • you want someone to take care of the details such as styling, wardrobe and finding the perfect location for the shoot.
  • You want your kids to have a fun, memorable experience.
  • You value printed photos that last.
  • You want authentic, candid images to pass down for generations.

“Surabhi, your work is absolutely magical.”
Surabhi, your work is absolutely magical!! Thank you so much for capturing my daughter so beautifully. You have no idea what these portraits meant to us. My daughter loves her portrait hung in her room. Everyone who comes to our home comments on how stunning these portraits are. Thank you again.
“Your work is like on one else’s.”
Your work is so wonderful because it is not like everyone else’s. I’m so thankful to have these photographs to look back on and see my children for exactly who they are. Their hair and eye colour, their skin tone and the natural environment they explored in, are captured so beautiful, in real life colour!
“Photos are beautiful and natural, yet so magical”
Doing a photo shoot with Sacred Seed Photography was honestly the most amazing experience! My youngest two kids weren’t in the best of moods and at first I thought we wouldn’t get any good photos but Surabhi was absolutely amazing with my kids. She was loving, caring, patient and respectful of their needs. The photos are beautiful and natural, yet so magical. I highly recommend Surabhi, she is a master in capturing childhood portraits.

Hello, I am Suri

MASTER CHILDREN PHOTOGRAPHER

Reflecting on my own childhood, I realise how few photos I have to truly remember what it was like. Most of them were taken by my parents—often blurry or poorly lit (understandably, they weren’t trained photographers!). Also a few from those annual studio sessions where my brother and I were told to stand and smile in front of the bright studio lights, failing to capture our fun, care-free, curious world.

While these photos still mean the world to me, I know there’s a better way to capture childhood. Children deserve more than just posed pictures—they deserve a legacy! That’s why I created the Bespoke Children’s Portrait Session.

“My desire is to create portraits that take centre stage in your home and make your children feel loved and empowered. I aspire to create family heirlooms with meaning and intention while keeping an elevated, personalised experience for your family at the forefront. I want these portraits to stay with your child thoroughout their life and remind them that possibilities and passions are limitless”

From our first conversation to the moment you hold your artwork in your hands, every step of your portrait journey is crafted with care and intention.

Step 1

CONNECTION CALL

We’ll talk about your family’s story, what love looks like in your home, and how you dream of being photographed together. This call allows me to understand your vision and create an experience that is tailored to you and your vision.

Step 3

THE CREATIVE PLANNING

A few weeks before your portrait session, we’ll meet in person or over Zoom to create your vision together. Your whole family is welcome to join! It’s a lovely way for everyone to meet me and feel at ease before the session.

We’ll chat about what to wear, beautiful locations to consider, how to prepare, and any little details or questions you might have. This time together helps us connect and ensures that, when your session day arrives, you’ll feel relaxed, confident, and ready to simply enjoy the experience.

Step 5

The most exciting part – seeing your portraits for the very first time and reliving the emotion of your session! Together, we’ll explore beautiful ways to bring your family’s story to life through artwork; whether that’s an heirloom album, wall art, or a curated collection. I’ll guide you through every option and help design pieces that fit seamlessly into your home and your family’s lifestyle.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions

Any age is beautiful to capture! Many families love milestone ages such as 6 months, 1 year, or birthdays, but I’m happy to photograph your child at any stage.

Keep things relaxed—bring along a favorite toy or snack, and let them be themselves. I’ll work with their natural energy and personality to capture genuine moments.

Neutral or earthy tones always photograph beautifully. Avoid busy patterns or logos, and choose something they’re comfortable in.

Sessions usually run 45–60 minutes, giving plenty of time for breaks and to let your child settle in.

Don’t worry—I’m patient and experienced with little ones. I’ll gently guide the session and capture natural, candid moments even in between.

Absolutely! Just let me know ahead of time so we can allow extra time to include them.

Sessions can be outdoors in nature, at your home, or in another meaningful location we decide together.
