The first days of your baby’s life are breathtakingly short. One moment you’re counting those tiny fingers and toes in disbelief — and the next, they’ve grown and those newborn details are already a distant memory. Two of the most powerful ways to preserve these fleeting moments forever are newborn photography and 3D baby hand and feet casting — and at Forever with Camotions in Gurgaon, you can have both done in a single, seamless session.
This complete guide explains everything Gurgaon parents need to know about combining a newborn photoshoot with a baby casting — how it works, what to expect, and why this bundle is one of the most meaningful investments new families make.
What is a Baby Hand and Feet Casting?
A baby hand and feet casting is a 3D impression of your newborn’s tiny hands and feet — captured using completely safe, dentist-grade alginate material and then cast in your choice of finish (silver, gold, bronze, or natural stone) and mounted in a beautiful custom frame or base.
Unlike a photograph, a casting is a tactile, three-dimensional keepsake — you can feel every tiny wrinkle, every crease, every detail of your baby’s hands and feet exactly as they were in those first precious days. It becomes a centrepiece in your home that you’ll touch, admire, and cherish for the rest of your life.
At Forever with Camotions, we offer several casting styles:
- Single hand or feet casting — the classic, timeless choice
- Siblings casting — tiny hands side by side, forever together
- Family casting — parents and baby captured together
- Couple casting — an elegant keepsake of your hands intertwined
- Blessings hands casting — grandparents’ hands cradling your baby’s tiny hand — three generations in one beautiful piece

What is a Newborn Photoshoot?
A newborn photoshoot captures the visual story of your baby’s first days — those sleepy poses, the tiny details, the first family portraits — through professional photography. At Forever with Camotions, we offer both studio sessions at our Sector 48, Gurgaon studio and at-home sessions anywhere across Gurgaon.
The golden window for a newborn photoshoot is 5 to 14 days after birth — when babies sleep deeply, curl naturally into beautiful poses, and are flexible enough for gentle posing. Our sessions are completely baby-led, with multiple setups covering:
- Wrapped and unwrapped poses
- Prop setups — baskets, bowls, floral nests, name boards
- Parent and baby portraits
- Sibling photos
- Close-up detail shots of tiny hands, feet, eyelashes, and lips

Why Combine Both in One Session?
Combining a newborn photoshoot with a baby casting in a single session is one of the smartest decisions Gurgaon parents make. Here’s why:
1. Perfect timing — both are best in the 5-14 day window
Both newborn photography and baby casting are ideally done within the first 5-14 days after birth — when your baby’s hands and feet are at their absolute tiniest and most detailed. Booking both together means you capture everything in that golden window without having to coordinate two separate sessions.
2. One visit, two lifelong keepsakes
Instead of two separate appointments — with all the preparation, feeding schedules, and travel that involves with a newborn — one combined session gives you both your stunning newborn photos AND your beautiful casting in a single, seamless experience.
3. More convenient for new parents
Let’s be honest — life with a newborn is exhausting. Having to coordinate two separate bookings, two separate visits, and two separate sessions is genuinely stressful. One combined session at your Gurgaon home (or our studio) covers everything in one go.
4. Your casting and photos complement each other beautifully
Your framed casting and your printed newborn photos displayed together on your wall create a complete, cohesive memory installation of your baby’s earliest days. Many Forever with Camotions families display their casting frame alongside a large printed photo from the same session — the two pieces work together perfectly.
5. Better value
Bundling both services in one session often works out better value than booking separately — ask us about bundle pricing when you WhatsApp.
How a Combined Session Works at Forever with Camotions
Here’s exactly what happens during a combined newborn photography and casting session in Gurgaon:
Before the session:
You’ll receive our preparation guide covering what to wear, how to feed your baby before the session, what to prepare at home (for at-home sessions), and what to expect on the day.
When we arrive (at-home) or when you arrive (studio):
Our photographer and casting artist set up their respective equipment — typically taking 20-30 minutes. For at-home sessions in Gurgaon, we only need one well-lit room for photography and a clear table surface for the casting.
The photography session (first):
We always start with the photography while your baby is freshest and most settled. The photography session is completely baby-led — we take our time, follow your baby’s cues, and never rush. This typically takes 1.5-2 hours and covers all the setups we’ve planned together.
Feeding and settling break:
After the photography session we take a natural break — this is a great time to feed your baby and let them settle for the casting.
The casting session:
Our casting artist takes a gentle alginate impression of your baby’s hand and foot — a process that takes just 3-5 minutes and is completely safe and comfortable. Most babies sleep right through it. We also do any additional castings (siblings, family, grandparents) during this time.
After the session:
Your photographer carefully selects and edits the best images, delivering them within 7-10 working days via a private online gallery. Your casting is handcrafted at our studio and typically ready within 2-3 weeks — available for collection from our Sector 48, Gurgaon studio or delivered to your home.
Total session time: approximately 3-4 hours including all breaks.
What to Prepare for a Combined Session in Gurgaon
For the photography:
- Feed your baby 30-45 minutes before we arrive so they’re full and sleepy
- Keep the room warm (26-28°C)
- Wear neutral tones — whites, creams, soft greys
- Have nappies, wipes, and a muslin cloth handy
For the casting:
- No special preparation needed — we handle everything
- Just make sure your baby’s hands and feet are clean and dry before the casting impression
- Let us know in advance if you want any additional castings (siblings, grandparents) so we can prepare the right amount of material
For at-home sessions in Gurgaon:
- Choose your best-lit room — bedroom or living room near a large window
- Clear a 6×6 foot area for photography setup
- Have a table or flat surface available for the casting setup
