For those who crave not just photos, but a cinematic storytelling experience…

This is where stories come to life, where your love is captured exactly as it is, real, raw, and beautifully yours. It’s not about perfection or posing, it’s about the moments that truly matter, the ones that make you laugh, cry, and hold each other a little tighter. It’s not about perfect poses or forcing moments, but about the little things—the way you look at each other, the laughter that escapes when no one’s watching, the quiet moments that feel like home.

Every image becomes a piece of your story, something you can hold onto and relive for years to come.

Hi, I’m Kiki.

I’m from India, and three years ago, I moved to the Netherlands. As a hopeless romantic, I feel emotions deeply, and it’s this tenderness that drives my passion for capturing the raw, unfiltered beauty of human connection. I see magic in the simplest moments — the kind that you can feel but can’t always put into words.

Growing up, I was drawn to creativity in many forms, but nothing ever made me feel as alive as capturing love and emotions that make us human. Movies have always been my greatest muse. I’ve often wondered what it would feel like to step inside a film — those timeless frames filled with love, light, and unspoken emotions. That’s when I decided to create art that feels like it’s straight out of a movie, where every frame tells a story.

I want you to feel loved, seen, and empowered. I want to capture you as you are — free, beautiful, and uniquely you. Tell me your story, and let’s turn it into a cinematic masterpiece together. Let’s create something timeless.

First Love Letter

“Wow, Kiki.. You’re very talented. I need you to remind yourself this everyday. These photos are absolutely beautiful. They give me so much warmth and make my heart melt. You’ll be now in my future booking. Happy customer here!

I can’t stop going through them again and again. They are stunning!”

~ Ingrid & Rik

Second Love Letter

“Kiki, we had such a great time, and we’re absolutely thrilled with how the photos turned out. I loved how you made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera – it really shows in the photos. Your ideas for locations, frames and poses were spot on, and the best part was the storyline that you had come up with, really impressive! You took into account our interests so well that the entire photoshoot felt like a breeze!”

~ Arpita & Pranoy

Third Love Letter

“I had several people saying ‘were you part of a video clip’ or ‘it feels like a summer movie/series intro’ so you capture moving moments and true emotions.”

~ Leyla

Fourth Love Letter

“We loved the photoshoot, it was fun and relaxing at the same time. You made us feel immediately at our ease, we could be ourselves and you have a natural talent in capturing spontaneous moments and their emotions, in a discreet way. We’ll cherish not only the amazingly beautiful photos but also the memory of the photoshoot itself. If you’re looking for a friendly photographer for a natural capture of your moments, Kiki is the one.”

~ Anca & Bruno

Fifth Love Letter

“The photos look so good!! They are how I was imagining them to be, and some photos even feel like a movie scene. And it was so sweet of you to take some additional ones with his parents! Already so many new favourites.”

~ Shreya & Mitchel

Sixth Love Letter

“The photoshoot felt very effortless and natural, we basically were just doing things that we normally do as a family. It’s amazing how the pictures came out so beautifully, you exactly captured the feelings and love we have. Ollie was obviously relaxed and I love how the pictures show what a beautiful soul he is.. his smiles and his gestures said it all. They all are what I envisioned and beyond, and a perfect documentation of Ollie turning one!”

~ Iari & Ollie

Seventh Love Letter

“You are toooo goodddd!!!!! Your posts are so tempting, makes me feel like doing more and more shoots with you. To be honest, you have really set the bar so high for us to like any other photos from other shoots now!”

~ Kiran & Pratik

Eighth Love Letter

“I am watching the pictures and crying in happiness…thank you so much…

You have really captured the moment’s beauty so perfectly. My heart is full. Thank you so much…”

~ Gauri & Varun
