My studio sessions are strictly timed, so I make sure every minute counts, whether we’re chasing a energetic toddler or setting up a custom boho backdrop in my Lower Parel studio. ### Making Milestones Memorable Photography is more than just posing. It is about freezing a feeling. When it comes to a first birthday or a fourth, I want the photos to look like your family, not a stiff catalog shoot. **Studio vs. Outdoor Sessions** My Lower Parel studio is where I dream up clean, dramatic, or minimalist sets—perfect for focused, artistic shots. We can do anything from a classic moon-prop setup to a vintage rocking horse scene. If you prefer the outdoors, I love taking families to local parks to capture natural, golden-hour sunlight. An outdoor picnic or a boho-canopy setup in a quiet garden can create a really relaxed, candid vibe. **The Process** - **Consultation:** We’ll talk about your vision beforehand. If you love the boho-minimalist look or something vibrant for a festival theme, we’ll plan the setup to match. - **The Shoot:** I don't believe in forced smiles. I’ll make funny faces, maybe get a bit silly, and let your child play. That’s how we get the genuine giggles. - **Editing:** I focus on signature natural skin tones, or if you prefer, my classic Black & White edits which remain my absolute favourite for their raw emotion. **Pro-Tip for Parents:** Kids are unpredictable, and that is okay! If your baby is cranky, we take a break. If they want to run around, we capture the movement. My goal is to capture the 'real'—the messy hugs and the wild curiosity. We can even do a 'paint smash' if you aren't keen on a cake, which is a fantastic way to let your child explore and create art while I capture the magic. ## About Ruchita K Jain Hi, I’m Ruchita.
