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.
Every child should have their story told in a way that truly reflects who they are. I want your kids to run, play, and just be while I document them in a beautiful outdoor setting where kids are naturally themselves.
For all the mamas who dream of authentic, heartfelt photos but worry about stiff poses, uncooperative children, fake smiles or missing out on what is real, I’m here for you. My goal is to create timeless portraits of your child with an old worldly nostalgic flare —their own legacy that they will look back on with love and pride. I want these portraits to stay with them throughout their life and remind them that possibilities and passions are limitless.
Our Photoshoot Process Puts You at the Heart of Everything We Do
At Sacred Seed Photography, we have a process that is meticulously crafted to ease the anxieties often associated with children portraits. From our initial consultations to our post-shoot follow-ups, every step is thoughtfully designed with your child's personality in mind. We understand the concerns about the perfect setting, making certain your kids are at ease, and hoping the final results capture their authentic spirit. With over a decade of experience, our process guarantees not only gorgeous, ethereal photos but also a journey that's stress-free and enjoyable. From outfit selections to choosing the photos that tug at your heartstrings, we're by your side, ensuring every moment and memory captured is authentic, magical, and truly reflective of your child's radiant spirit.
pre-session consultation
Children can often find it intimidating when a stranger points a camera at them during a photoshoot. To alleviate this, we prioritize our pre-session consultation. Before I even begin capturing those precious moments, this time is dedicated to allowing your child to become familiar with me. Conducted in the familiar surroundings of your home, this consultation removes any unnecessary anxiety. And if you're pondering over the ideal outfit? Worry not! I'm here to guide you and even offer access to our curated wardrobe collection for kids. Making sure your little one feels relaxed and self-assured is at the very core of our approach.
PORTRAIT SESSION
Once we're at our chosen spot, it's all about your child's natural curiosity. I let them explore and even provide a fun activity or a toy to keep their interest. The atmosphere is laid-back, focusing on genuine smiles and playful moments. No need for stiff poses; just a day of exploration and fun. With a familiar face behind the camera, we capture all the magic amidst a beautiful outdoor location.
personalised viewing session
After we’ve captured your memories, we spend some time perfecting the photos and to ensure they align with our signature style. We meet again where you handpick the photographs that resonate with you deeply, ensuring every choice is heart-led and meaningful. Once you've chosen your favorites, select from our luxury print products, including wall art and albums. Products are then hand-delivered, ready to be displayed and cherished.
OUR PHOTOSHOOT PROCESS PUTS YOU AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO
STYLING AND PLANNING
We will have a consultation in the comfort of your home to discuss your child's personality and the vision you have in mind for their portraits. You will have full access to our vintage inspired wardrobe for kids. I will also coach you on how to prepare your kids and what to bring to the photo shoot so you don't have to stress about anything. We will have enough time for 2-3 outfit change during the session. Photoshoot can include siblings and pets.
This photo session will focus on your kids but if you like we are more than happy to include a few family photos at the end of the session.
PORTRAIT SESSION
Worried your kids won't behave during the session? Don't worry, Suri's superpower is to relax the kids, become their friend and create amazing and variety of portraits that you will fall in love with.
All sessions will take place just before sunset when the light is most magical and glorious.
IMAGE REVEAL AND SELECTION
About three weeks after the shoot, I will meet you again in your home for the big reveal of your images (or we can video conference on Zoom if you are traveling for the shoot)! This is where we will select the complimentary image included in your package or you can order more images if you’d like. There will definitely be a ton of stunning ones to choose from!
"Hands down the greatest photographer in the business."
"Surabhi, your work is absolutely magical."
"Photos are beautiful and natural, yet so magical"
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!
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.
Doing a photo shoot with Sacred Seed Photography was honestly the most amazing experience! 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 for any photography needs.
