About Family & Kids Photography
Why I Love Family & Kids Photography
I believe it’s the tiny moments you remember, not the days. My job is to capture those real giggles, messy hugs, and the wild chaos that makes your family yours. I don’t just snap pictures - I get silly, sometimes totally awkward, so your kids feel comfortable and everyone can just be themselves.
What I Offer
- Sessions for families of all shapes - just parents and kids, grandparents, even pets (haan, apne kutte-bille bhi family hai - yes, our dogs and cats are family).
- Special focus on parent-child bonds, whether it’s a Mommy & Me shoot or those goofy Daddy & Me moments.
- Childhood magic: individual kids, sibling portrait sessions, and babies in that adorable 6-8 month phase.
- Milestone birthday photography, like first birthdays with cake smashes, boho setups, or outdoor picnic themes.
- Creative festival shoots for Janmashtami, Rakhi, and more. I do colourful, fun setups so your traditions look as good as they feel.
- Mini-sessions and announcements for pregnancy, gender reveals, and new beginnings.
My Style
My studio in Lower Parel, Mumbai, is where I dream up clean, simple or totally dramatic sets. I also love shooting outdoors with natural light kids portraits - parks, canopies, benches, whatever suits your vibe. Black & white portraits are close to my heart - they’re raw, emotional, and timeless.
The Final Touch
You get a set of beautifully edited images. If you want something tangible, I can make a personalized coffee table book - ekdum personal (totally personal), something your family will flip through for years.

My Story
Hi, I’m Ruchita. You know, I think it’s the little moments that stick with us, not the big days. Like tiny feet running around, a mom and her kid sharing a look, families just being themselves… that’s why I started taking pictures. I’m not about posing, I’m about catching you as you are. I’ll probably crack a joke or get silly just to make you feel comfy. Black and white portraits? My absolute favourite. Feels like I’m capturing pure emotion, and honestly, being a motherhood photographer is just my thing.
My Work
Maternity, Newborn & Family Shoots - I do natural maternity photoshoot, newborn lifestyle session, kids portraits, and candid family portraits.
Memories, Not Just Photos - It’s about making memories together, not just clicking pictures. I want you to look back and feel the moment.
Authentic Style - My sessions are relaxed, real, and mostly about you being you. Natural light, genuine smiles, no stiff poses.
Classic Black & White - I’m obsessed with classic black and white photography. It’s simple, bold, and totally timeless.
