About Ruxi
NICE TO MEET YOU HERE!
Hey! Thanks for stopping by! My name’s Ruxandra Balea, but you can call me Ruxi. I’m a professional photographer based in Zürich Switzerland, where I make cool things for families and entrepreneurs. If you like my work then don’t hesitate to reach out.
Emotion, or a feeling, is what makes the difference between a snapshot out of obscurity and a photography that makes YOU shine. Either a family photoshoot, a family event or a studio photoshoot just for yourself, your story and your connection to your loved ones will make every single image precious.
For your business, I will help you foster a connection with your target clients. Speaker photography, self branding photography or for your business event, I will create authentic and compelling imagery that promotes you, your products, and your brand’s personality for impactful marketing that stands out.
I am here to give people a transformative experience through my photography so they can end up with the most beautiful portraits they have ever seen of themselves. With your family, her focus is on the connection between you all. In your business I will help you foster a connection with your target clients. Similar, but with a different result and scope!
“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.”
You want a picture that captures more than just your smile!
Photography is about capturing who you are, what you do, and what makes you or your brand unique. Are people seeing what you want them to see? Curating your own digital footprint with captivating visuals is a golden opportunity to get more customers, attract potential employers and increase your business.
Online presence is essential to modern business. Social Media allows you to reach current and new consumers, spread your message, and build your brand. If you leveraged social media already by growing a base organically, a personal branding photo-shoot will considerably enhance your brand.
If you are at the early stage of starting a business, having the right imagery is an essential step to send the proper message to your clients.
Having your professional images done is an investment in you, your personal branding and your business. This is what makes the difference between standing out or merely becoming part of the crowd.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I am very fortunate to have formed excellent partnerships with many of my clients. And we’ve formed more than just working relationships; we have formed true friendships. Here’s what they’re saying about me and the way I worked with them.

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

Ruxi did our Christmas cards. It was our first family portrait after the birth of our sone 2 years and 7 months ago. We... had a very pleasant experience and although our son was not very well behaved, Ruxi was patient and we always felt at ease. We also got beautiful Christmas cards delivered at our place after a short time from the session. We certainly recommend her.read more
