MY STORY

Let's become friends!

HI, I’M KIKI!

Hey, I’m Kiki! Think of me as your camera-wielding sidekick who’s just as obsessed with capturing your story as you are with living it. My sessions aren’t about stiff poses or perfect backdrops. They’re about the real stuff. The belly laughs, the messy hair, the quick glances that feel like something out of your favorite movie. That’s where the magic is, and I’m here for all of it.

A little about me? I’m originally from India, but I packed up my life and moved to the Netherlands three years ago. It’s been a ride full of surprises: new places, new people, and new stories everywhere I turn.

I’m all about balancing the best of both worlds (or atleast I try!). One moment, I’m running to chase candy pink skies, spotting rainbows, or texting my husband a picture of the moon because, obviously, it’s stunning (Yes, we’re that couple, and I love it.). The next moment? I’m snuggled up with my dog (Sunshine) in my comfiest PJs, re-watching Harry Potter for the millionth time, editing, and pretending snacks don’t count as dinner. Whether it’s a spontaneous adventure or a cozy, quiet night, I’m here for all of it, because life’s best moments are about the little things that make your heart happy.

Photography is my newest love, but honestly, I’ve always been a storyteller at heart. Before this, it was sketching, painting, and binge-watching movies where the soundtrack made you cry. Getting to use my camera to create cinematic little moments for people like you? It’s not just a job. It’s an absolute privilege, and I’m endlessly grateful to do what I love every single day.

For me, it’s not about perfection. It’s about connection. I love the raw, real moments that make you who you are. Maybe that’s laughing so hard, dancing barefoot in your living room, or just holding hands like nobody’s watching. Those are the moments that matter, and those are the ones I want to capture (we will surely take some pictures for your grandma’s fridge!).

Also, let’s get one thing straight: I’m not just your photographer. I’m your personal cheerleader, your expert in “what do I even do with my hands?”, and the one who’ll probably cry while editing your gallery because your love is just that beautiful.

And don’t worry. This isn’t a “love only looks one way” kind of thing. I celebrate all love stories, from the wildly romantic to the beautifully simple. Love is love, and I’m here to tell your story exactly as it feels to you.

So, if you’re ready to create a little movie magic with me, let’s connect! I want to hear all about your story, your quirks, your favorite snacks (because snacks are important), and your vision for a session that feels like you.

Let’s make it happen. I can’t wait to meet you!
