Why Choose Ruchika Jain for Your Family Photoshoot?
Timeless Treasures of Beautiful Family Portraits
Real Smiles, Real Moments
Real Smiles, Real Moments: No fake poses or forced grins here! We capture your family’s authentic emotions – the laughter during a tickle fight, the tender snuggle of a shy child, the proud smiles and even the silly faces. These genuine moments are what make each photo heartfelt and uniquely yours.
Sessions Full of Fun:
A family photoshoot with us feels more like a funday than a formal photo session. Kids have a blast with our toys, games, and bubbles, and adults often end up enjoying themselves just as much. We create a relaxed, playful atmosphere where everyone can be themselves. (Yes, even dads who “hate pictures” leave saying it was actually fun!)
Elegant Portraits to Treasure
Along with candid shots, we also make sure to capture a few beautifully posed portraits where everyone looks their best. We’ll guide you into natural poses that flatter – you’ll get that frame-worthy family portrait for Grandma’s wall, plus all the candid moments in between. It’s the best of both worlds: playful and polished.
Personalized Experience
Your family is one-of-a-kind, and your session will be too. We offer a free pre-shoot consultation to plan everything – from choosing the perfect location (your cozy home, a favorite park, or our studio) to coordinating outfits and understanding any special requests. We listen to what you want and tailor the shoot to fit your family’s style. Whether you have energetic toddlers or camera-shy teens, we customize the approach to ensure everyone is comfortable and engaged.
Indoor Studio & Outdoor Options
We’ve got you covered whether you prefer an indoor studio look or an outdoor adventure. Our Lower Hutt studio is equipped with 40+ backdrops and props (for classic and creative portraits), while Wellington’s beautiful beaches, parks, or even your backyard can provide a gorgeous natural backdrop. Love the idea of home sessions? We can come to you – capturing your family in your own environment for that personal touch. Flexibility is part of our service.
Professional, Caring Team
Ruchika and her husband Dinesh are an experienced photography duo who know how to bring out the best in every family. With 10+ years of experience (and as parents ourselves), we are patient, friendly, and great with kids. From calming a fussy baby to getting a skeptical teenager to crack a smile, we handle it all. We’ll guide you gently through the process – fixing a stray hair, suggesting a pose, or giving a quick confidence boost – so you look and feel amazing.
High-Quality Results:
We take pride in delivering stunning images you will love. After the session, each selected photo is meticulously edited and retouched. Our high-end editing ensures you all look your best (while still looking like you). You’ll receive high-resolution digital files perfect for printing, and we offer a range of print products – from framed enlargements to beautiful albums – so your memories can live on your walls or coffee table, not just on your phone. Quality is paramount, and we don’t compromise on it.
Rave Reviews & Happy Clients
Our families often tell us we exceeded their expectations. Many have called us the best family photographer in Wellington and, more importantly, they walk away with happy memories and gorgeous photos. (Check out the testimonials below to see what they’re saying!) We’re honored to have a growing community of satisfied clients who return for new milestones and refer their friends – you can trust that you’re in good hands with us
