📍 Studio vs. Outdoor: Deciding Your Perfect Photoshoot Location in Gurgaon & Delhi
When planning a maternity or baby photoshoot, one of the first decisions to make is: Should you choose a studio setup or go for an outdoor location? Each option offers a unique atmosphere and aesthetic. At Meghna Rathore Photography, we provide both — a cozy, fully-equipped indoor studio in Palam Vihar, Gurgaon, and curated outdoor sessions at scenic spots across NCR.
In this blog, let’s help you decide between studio and outdoor photoshoots by breaking down the pros and cons of each. Whether you’re expecting a little one or celebrating a baby milestone, your perfect shoot setting awaits!

🏡 Indoor Studio Photoshoots: Controlled, Comfortable & Creative
If you’re looking for a professional, private, and stress-free experience, studio newborn photography in Delhi and Gurgaon might be the perfect option.
✅ Pros of Studio Photoshoots:
-
Controlled Lighting: We use soft studio lighting and modifiers for consistently stunning results.
-
Complete Privacy: Ideal for maternity shoots or baby sessions when you want comfort and calm.
-
Temperature Control: Especially important for newborns, ensuring the baby stays cozy and safe.
-
Props & Wardrobe: Access to a wide range of baby wraps, gowns, setups, and creative backdrops.
-
Hygienic & Baby-Safe: Our Gurgaon studio is sanitized, baby-proofed, and thoughtfully designed for family ease.

❌ Things to Consider:
-
Limited space for movement or candid action shots.
-
Backgrounds are curated — not as dynamic or natural as outdoor surroundings.
But if you love cozy, artistic, and timeless shots, our studio maternity and baby sessions are ideal. Plus, they offer a weather-proof and hassle-free experience.

🌿 Outdoor Photoshoots: Natural Light & Scenic Beauty
If you love golden hour glow, trees rustling in the background, or capturing candid moments in nature — outdoor maternity photoshoots in Gurgaon or Delhi NCR can be magical.
✅ Pros of Outdoor Shoots:
-
Natural Light: Sunlight creates soft, glowing tones that feel organic and romantic.
-
Dynamic Backgrounds: Parks, gardens, or heritage sites add personality to every shot.
-
More Movement: Perfect for couple maternity sessions or playful baby milestones like crawling or walking.
-
Seasonal Vibes: Cherry blossoms, fall leaves, or winter fog can add beautiful seasonal charm.
