Welcome to the
art of modern portraits

These aren’t the stiff family portraits you remember as a kid.

We create images that move and feel just like you do. A photo experience that is simple, caring, and intuitive. And custom art for your walls to remember this moment in time. All this together in one place. We know, right? Chef’s kiss.

Welcome to Ranjani Groth Studios.

SIMPLE

SMILES

ARE OVERRATED

Don’t get us wrong, we l o v e to see your natural smile. But today’s approach to modern portraits is about also capturing genuine emotion and organic movement. The way your toddler snuggles just so against Dad’s shoulder. The specific way sisters can make each other laugh the loudest. Just how good motherhood looks on you.


These are the images that move you.

Remember the mall portrait studio?
This isn't that.

We’ve all been there, right? Stiff photos that all look the same. Feeling like a number on a call sheet not an actual family. Instead of dragging the fam through all that, our time together is simple and relaxed without ever sacrificing style or quality. Your experience is personalized from the very beginning, because you’re a person to us, never a number. Imagine that.

OUR STORY

MEET THE FOLKS OF
RANJANI GROTH
STUDIOS

Ranjani Groth

RANJANI

I’ve lived in more than a dozen places across the globe, yet wherever I call home, my camera is always at my side. As a teen, I’d drag a chair into the Illinois woods and convince my sisters to wear prom dresses for photo shoots with our mom’s old film camera. I found connection with my hosts in Tajikistan, though we didn’t share a language, through the lens of my camera. In college, I studied photojournalism and worked for more than a decade as a wedding photographer. All those couples taught me how to be an expert wrangler, problem solver (I always carry a mini-sewing kit now) and mood lightener. I pivoted to family portraits five years ago, and haven’t looked back. Today, I l o v e the happy chaos of everyone (plus the dog!) piling in for a group photo.

While Ranjani’s behind the camera creating the magic, you can find me knee-deep in spreadsheets and admin duty. (Hyperfocus is like my ADHD superpower.)
I’m not all focus though. I’ve got some real loveable labrador energy that you’ll get to experience with some sweet dad jokes and my ability to make babies laugh. (Also a superpower? I think so.) Ask Ranjani how I attempted to woo her. It involved a bike ride and breaking my collarbone in front of her. True love! I promise to be more careful when we're cutting up during your photo session.

“Ranjani’s very professional and assuring. That lady had it totally under control (and) it was abundantly clear after speaking with her that she knew her business. Just a conversation about the process can really set you at ease. I cannot say enough about the care she takes in planning.” —Lanie
