We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Richa Kansal a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Richa, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Before we get into specifics, let’s talk about success more generally. What do you think it takes to be successful?

It requires a significant amount of hard work, perseverance, passion for what you do, consistency, and attention to detail to make your work stand out in the crowd. Being successful is a journey, not a destination. Setting personal goals and taking steps to achieve those gives me a feeling of being successful.
I believe I am constantly striving for perfection and the satisfaction that comes from knowing I have given my all. I sincerely thank all of my clients and dear friends who have consistently expressed their appreciation for my work. I am eternally grateful to them!

Richa, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Richa Kansal is my name, and Kansals Photography is how most people are familiar with me. In Atlanta, Georgia, I am the owner and operator of a photography studio. I enjoy shooting a wide range of sessions and have a special love for photographing newborns, maternity, and kids. My art and style are defined by my attention to detail, creativity, and perfection. Colors have always captivated me because I believe they give life to any frame. I style my sessions where colors play an integral part!

My creative side has always been more dominant in me since I was a young child. I have always loved building and creating things, so I chose to enroll in the School of Architecture in order to graduate at the top of my class with a bachelor’s degree. My ability to think creatively has improved over the years of dedication. I’ve gained knowledge on how to bring ideas to life and add depth and detail to my photographs. Because it gives me something to strive for, a way to move forward, and brings out the best in me, creativity is what makes me thrive. Each session is creatively designed based on client’s preferences, while maintaining my artistic vision and each and every picture which I deliver is handcrafted with utmost care and precision before handed over to my clients.

I have clients coming from different ethnicities to the studio for sessions. Customizing the specific needs and basis of clients coming from different ethnicities and communication on the same is what I have learnt and developed on through these years. I am blessed to have clientele from diverse ethnicities, it adds variety to my portfolio.

The Photography Studio is my perfect balance which helps me in pursuing my dream and at the same time allows me to take care of my twins and the home.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

A time I had to pivot in life was when I started my photography business. After many years of working in the field of architecture and design, I found myself wanting to do something more where I could express myself and bring more meaning to my life. I enjoy connecting with people and capturing their feelings in a way that they can treasure for a lifetime! I began photographing as a pastime, but it has now become my passion. Being a professional architect and interior designer gave me an eye for creativity, beauty, and aesthetic attention to detail. I have many years of experience and can capture memories for anyone to enjoy for a lifetime.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

I strive to deliver high-quality work that reflects my unique style, while always meeting or exceeding my clients’ expectations. As a photographer, I truly believe that building a solid reputation within my market is all about making my clients feel comfortable and at home. To me, there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a smile on my client’s face when they look at their finished photographs.

In addition to my strong technical expertise and editing skills, I think that what really sets me apart from other photographers is my ability to connect with people. I work hard to create a relaxed and welcoming environment during each photo session, and I always take the time to get to know my clients and understand their needs. Whether I’m shooting a maternity, a family portrait, or a newborn , I want my clients to feel like they are among friends.

To stay connected with my audience, I use social media and other online platforms to showcase my work and engage with my followers. But at the end of the day, it’s my commitment to delivering a personalized, human touch that has helped me build a reputation as a photographer who truly cares about their clients.
