Hello :) So glad to have you here
I'm Pari Rao
I love stories. I love Pictures. Welcome to page
I believe life is part beautiful, part messy and a lot of small moments. Like tiny pixels forming a picture, these moments, together, create the unique story of our lives. And, being able to relish these moments forever is why I pick up my camera.
I worked with data & people in my IT profession before I decided to give my passion for photography a chance. I was doing it for a hobby until after the birth of my daughter, and the moments passing it all too fast.. gave me a deep purpose for capturing them forever.
I enjoy getting to know you (made good friends too), scouting locations and dreaming up a set in my studio to create some heirloom images to share with your loved ones. I would love to chat with you more and answer any questions that you may have. I look forward to hearing from you :)
Fun Facts about me
I married my best friend, Vijay
..whom I met through a photography group who did a campaign of photographing 1000 smiles and I was one of them (sounds romantic right.. blush! blush). Later, I joined their group for countless "photowalks" almost every weekend, trying to learn the nitty gritty of a camera. I might not acknowledge him as much, but he's been quite the teacher and amazing partner I share my life with.
Us 13 years back.. when taking pictures was about learning the zoom camera I had & dreaming to buy my dslr
Fun Facts about me
My Daughter is my WHY
Being pregnant and giving birth to my daughter was a turning point. The depths of emotions I experienced did not exist before. It's a beautiful mess.. there is joy & exhaustion, love & anxiety wrapped in a hug of exhaustion.. my reason for photography. She inspires me. Now, we dream up sets & poses together.
There is never enough pictures of her.. but the babies one are uncontrollably cute. Don't you think!
Fun Facts about me
I'm a Daydreamer
... if it isn't about how to trouble my partner or my next photoshoot idea, you will find me dreaming about mountains, my next hike. When I injured myself.. the thought that I might not hike almost killed me (well, almost). I've been on the road of recovery for the past 1 year and it's a lifelong process. Love your body. Cannot stress enough health is the "ONLY" wealth. Please say hello if you see me on a hike :)

My Intention
Memories
are like chapter books. Embracing the beauty of
each chapter unfolds a story beyond milestones.
My goal for each session
is to capture those timestamps, those perfectly imperfect stages of the people
who hold dear
