Christmas Sessions
It’s my FAVORITE time of year! It’s time for the annual Christmas sessions in the studio. I have so many new set designed and ready for you all and I am so excited to share them.
On the side, you’ll find an example of the set along with the dates that particular set will be offered. As with any session, if you don’t see a date that works for you, please let me know and I will create a custom date for you. Chances are, you aren’t the only one with a scheduling conflict, so your custom date will likely benefit several other families as well.
Newborn Safety Certified Photographer
NEWBORN Safety IS A Priority
We are MOMTOG certified and have completed extensive safety training as well as seminars on safety from renowned educators. During the photoshoot, we closely observes your baby for any signs of agitation.
Further, poses where the little one rests their head on their heads, such as the popular “froggy” pose, is done through photoshop composites so they don’t have to support the weight of their head in their tiny arms.
After each portrait session all props, sets, and outfits are thoroughly washed, steamed, and UV sanitized, and we have enacted new safety protocols due to covid, such as scheduling only 1 client per day.

Meet Your Herndon, VA Newborn & Baby Photographer: Shikha
Hi there! I am a maternity, newborn, and baby photographer based in Herndon, VA, built on a deep love for capturing real, unscripted family magic.
Ever since my oldest daughter was born 17 years ago, I’ve been obsessed with preserving the raw, innocent, and beautiful moments of childhood. In 2014, I took the leap and turned my passionate hobby into a professional photography studio. Today, I find my true calling in celebrating the journey of motherhood for parents throughout Herndon, Reston, Sterling, Ashburn, and the greater Northern Virginia area—from the quiet anticipation of pregnancy to the tiny details of a fresh newborn.
My Photography Style in Three Words: Modern. Creative. Organic.
What a session with me looks like:
- Authenticity first: I work to capture your child's true personality, whether they are feeling shy, silly, or wonderfully curious.
- Full-service care: I put my heart into the details, guiding you through early planning and wardrobe ideas all the way to final gallery edits.
- Pure joy: Interacting with your little ones isn't just work for me—it's my absolute inspiration.
5 Fast Facts About Me:
- 👩👧👧 I’m a proud wife and mom to two incredibly energetic, beautiful teenage girls.
- 🇮🇳 I was born in India and love weaving vibrant life into everything I do.
- 🍦 I run entirely on ice cream, dark chocolate, and hot coffee.
- 🏡 Gardening is my therapy; it’s where I go to find peace and reflect.
