About Lifestyle & Portrait Photography
My Approach: Real Moments, Real You
I’m Vrutika, and I honestly believe the best photos happen when you’re just being yourself. I’m not into stiff poses or forced smiles. I want to catch those small, real moments - the way you laugh, the way you look at someone you love, the chaos and fun of family life.
What I Offer
- Individual portraits for personal branding, work profiles, or just celebrating yourself. I’ll help you show your real personality, not just a polished version.
- Couple shoots that capture your connection, whether it’s romantic, goofy, or just everyday love. Pets are totally welcome!
- Family sessions, from chill park days to big family gatherings. I love catching the messy, happy energy that makes your family unique.
- Maternity and newborn sessions, including Godh Bharai (Indian baby shower) traditions. I know these moments matter, and I’ll help you remember how they felt.
- Events like birthdays, anniversaries, cocktail parties, and ring ceremonies. I’ll be there for the big moments and the little ones you might miss.
Where We Shoot
Mumbai is my playground. We can shoot at iconic spots like Gateway of India, heritage buildings, or parks. If you want something more personal, I love doing shoots at your home too.
My Style
I use natural light, play with shadows, and sometimes add a bit of motion blur for that cinematic vibe. You’ll get a mix of vibrant colour and classic black & white images. If you feel awkward, don’t stress - I’ll guide you and make sure you feel comfortable.
Let’s make some memories that actually feel like you.

My Story
Hey, I'm Vrutika - born and raised in Mumbai, can't imagine living anywhere else. This city’s got energy, chaos, and magic, and I’m always chasing it with my camera. You’ll spot me at sunrise near the Gateway or wandering some random lane, just soaking it all in. My dogs are my best buds, and they keep me grounded. For me, photography isn’t just work - it’s catching real moments, the messy, beautiful ones.
