“In essence, I am a portrait photographer. I specialise in creating images that tell your story, whether you are with your dear ones or as the face of your business.”
For you and your family
For your business
“It’s one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it’s another thing to make a portrait of who they are.”
Consultation
We design for your dream session. We’ll find out together how you want to be photographed, how you want to be seen, how you want to connect through your images.
Studio Wardrobe
Access to my client studio wardrobe is included with all photo sessions as well as an online website styling link to help you choose the perfect coordinating wardrobe for the entire family.
Professional retouching
Professional and mindful editing. After the photo session, we choose your best portraits and apply my retouching. All your images will be carefully retouched, but never too much.
Photo Studio in Zürich
Boutique studio and total privacy to take away the stress about the weather and changing outfits on location. Beautiful parks, nature, views and urban-style locations very near the studio. My studio is mobile, I can also come to you or to any desired location.
Professional Makeup and Hairstyle
The make-up and styling session will be the first thing to do on your shooting day. Let yourself be pampered, relax and enjoy the experience!
Personal Vernissage
At the photo viewing session you will be able to choose and purchase your favourite portraits. What you buy depends only on you! All photos purchased include the high resolution digital image.
Styling
We will also talk about what outfits to wear, styling, and colouristic, with whom you will be photographed and the props needed. You can experience different styles of clothing at the same photo session and use our studio wardrobe
Complete guidance on the photo session
Throughout the photo session, I will tell you what to do with your hands, body etc. so your photo session is stress-free and to get the most beautiful pictures.
Flexibility
I reserve the day for our shoot, there is no time pressure, and we take as long as we need. If your child had a bad day, I always offer rescheduling options. Flexible payment plans.

Nach mehrere Versuche hat unsere Familie (2 Erwachsene, 2 Zwillingssöhne, geb. April 2015) in Ruxi endlich ihre... offizielle Fotografin gefunden 🙂 Die Anlässen, an denen wir mit Ruxi Highlights in unserem Leben festgehalten haben waren bereits vielfältig. Und immer erfolgreich:- Outdoor Photoshoot- Studio Weihnachts-Shoot- Event Shoot (an einem runden Geburtstag)- Mini Studio Fotoshoots (weil die Mama es sich gewünscht hat)Ruxi hat eine speziell angenehme, freundliche und jedoch wirksame 😉 Art, ihre Sujets vor der Kamera zu "steuern". Das Resultat spricht von sich alleine: unsere Erinnerungen wurden mit WOW-schönen Bildern verewigt. Wir planen bereits das nächste Fotoshoot. Dass sie auch einen sehr guten Humor hat macht sie noch beliebter!read more

Ruxi ist zwar eine Fotografen-Freundin von mir, aber ich habe sie als meine persönliche Portrait-Fotografin auserkoren.... Gerade wenn man selbst in dem Genre tätig ist, ist man überaus kritisch. Sie hat das phantastisch gemeistert und wundervolle Fotos für meine Homepage und FB-Seite von mir gemacht. Ruxi ist ein so toller und herzlicher Mensch, es macht Spass sich von ihr fotografieren zu lassen.read more

We came to Ruxi´s studio for a photo shooting of our 10-days old son. This was our first outing and we had mixed... feelings about leaving home. Ruxi was very supportive from the very first moment, she really made the three of us feel very relaxed and in ease. She was generous with the time and ideas. It was a fantastic and memorable experience from the beginning to the end. Having these beautiful photos from our first period as fresh parents are invaluable. Thank you very much!read more

Ich habe Ruxi für ein People-Fotoshooting in Zürich gebucht und bin überwältigt vom Ergebnis! Hervorzuheben ist, dass... ich ihr das Setting, Motiv und Umfang am Telefon erklärt hatte und sie ohne grosse Vorbereitung sofort die Bilder umgesetzt hat. Ihr Auge fürs Detail, Bildideen, Einsatz der Location, Licht und szenische Darstellung ist hervorragend! Die grossartige Retusche rundete das Paket ab, gab den Fotos die gewünschte Stimmung und Qualität. Ich werde Ruxi auch bei anderen Projekten buchen, an die Community meine wärmste Empfehlung!read more

I went to Ruxi's studio to get a CV/LinkedIn type photo, with a few others thrown in for fun. I'm so happy with the... headshot, it's perfect - natural but professional at the same time. The other shots took me totally by surprise, I love them. This was my first shoot and I wasn't really looking forward to it, but by the end of it I was really enjoying it and it shows in the photos. We had a great afternoon, thanks Ruxi, highly recommended.read more
