where every portrait begins with your story!

Is it time for your annual family portraits? Perhaps you're thinking about planning your very first portrait session or need headshots? Are you expecting a little one, or have you recently welcomed a new baby? Is your little dancer growing up before your eyes, or is your teen discovering their own artistic expression? 

​

Whatever season of life you're in, there's something beautiful about pausing to capture it. These moments may feel fleeting today, but they'll become the memories you treasure tomorrow.

I'd be honored to help you preserve them, one beautiful portrait at a time.

About the photographer at Studio Amara

Thanks for stopping by! I'm Shuba, your portrait photographer and the proud owner of Studio Amara, located in San Diego, CA.​

 

I specialize in fine art portraiture that celebrates you! I LOVE photographing Motherhood & Maternity, Newborns, Families, your baby's First-year Milestones, and Dance Portraits. 

 

For over ten years, I've had the honor of capturing the love, milestones, and stories that families hold dearest to their hearts. It would be my joy and privilege to tell your story, whether you're celebrating a new chapter in your family's life or preserving a special moment in your dancer's journey.

The Studio Amara Experience:
Reviews from my clients!

Working with Shuba was so easy and pleasant! From texting back and forth, she was so patient and responsive and very easy to communicate with. When taking pictures, she made me feel comfortable and was very considerate, always checking on me and making sure I could handle standing for a long time. Being 36 weeks pregnant, I get a little tired and sore. I felt so welcome in her home studio, and the pictures came out amazing. I am absolutely in love with how they came out; she made me feel beautiful! I would 100% work with her again.​
