Labdhi called me in November for a maternity photo session. She and her husband wanted to do a chic photo shoot outdoors, in a garden or on the beach. Over the phone, we decided to meet in person and discuss the photo session and creative concepts. On the day of the meeting though, she was tired and called me to let me know that she wont be able to meet with me. Her OB-GYN suggested that she get some rest. I was quite looking forward to doing a glamorous photo session with Labdhi but my policy has always been health over heels.
A few days later she called me again, to book a session, this time at her home. They had changed their mind about doing the photo shoot outdoors. With the change of mind, she wanted a particular drape to cover her, for the photo session. All her styling needs were met by our stylist who’s very skilled in draping our pregnant clients. In the end, we conducted the photo session in the comfort of their home, it lasted no more than two hours and, Labdhi and Harshal made for a perfect, happy parents-to-be.
The three words to describe Ruchita would be cheerful, ambitious and loving. Tiny
babies and young children are her favourite kind of people, she loves seeing the world
through their eyes, a world of wonder. She tries to catch those feelings in her
photographs- curious eyes, innocent smiles and hearts full of sunshine.
Photography to Ruchita is all about art. She designs the sets, chooses the colours,
decides the costumes, picks out the props and creates beautiful moments for you and
your family. She photographs maternity, newborns and babies, toddlers, and families, to
create fascinating art for her clients.
Ruchita studied Advertising, and Animation before finding her calling in Photography.
She studied photography at Shari Academy in Mumbai. To hone her skills in baby and
family photography, in 2017, she completed a certified training course at Bella Baby and
Beyond Conference by the renowned photographer Ana Brandt, in California. This is
where she met other outstanding photographers like Brooke Shaden, Amy McDaniel,
Lisa Digeso, and learnt a great deal more about this specialized field of photography.
There aren’t many photographers in India who specialize in and dedicate themselves to
baby and family photography. Ruchita is one of the very few who focus solely on it. She
says, she is surrounded by inspiration, sometimes it’s the city she lives in and other
times she finds it in the innocence of her niece and nephew.
Ruchita adds that being a photographer is exciting because she gets to meet new people,
who want to share their joy with the world, and tell their stories. And there’s nothing
that makes her happier than widening their smiles!
