Vivek Narula Portrait

There has never been another you. There never will be. Let’s create something worthy of it.

A portrait experience as unique as you

Design Consultation

This is where it all begins. We’ll walk you through the portrait experience, tune into your vision, and design a session that feels uniquely you.

Wardrobe Styling

No more outfit stress. We’ll help you pull together pieces that flatter and bring out your best. Want extra support? Our stylist can craft looks that match your vibe, vision, and the mood of your shoot.

Hair & Makeup

Team up with our professional hair and makeup artist before your session to map out your natural style. On shoot day, just show up and relax. We’ll take care of everything else.

Guided Photoshoot

No modeling experience needed. We’ll guide you every step of the way so you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, frame after frame.

Multiple Outfit Changes

Why stick to one style? From bold to understated, powerful to soft, we’ll capture your many moods and expressions across multiple outfits.

Reveal Session

This is the moment it all comes together. A few days after your shoot, you’ll return to view your images. There’s no pressure. You only purchase what you love. Our job is to create beautiful images, so you will love them all!

Professional Retouching

Every image you select deserves to shine. Each one gets the VIP treatment, edited with magazine-level precision without losing the essence of who you are.

Digitals, Prints & Wall Art

They say a photograph isn’t real until it’s printed. That’s why we offer high quality prints, custom wall art, and signature art books—crafted to be seen, held, and treasured for generations.

The art of you

At Vivek Narula Portrait, we believe every individual is a masterpiece. Our passion is capturing extraordinary images that reveal your unique essence—the confidence, the joy, the strength, and all that makes you, you. Join us on an artistic journey of self-discovery, and witness the most beautiful images you've ever seen of yourself.

Witness the art of you.

Meet Vivek

Vivek is a portrait photographer based in Minneapolis, specializing inVanity Fair-style legacy portraits, headshots and personal branding for people who don’t always love being photographed.

“After six years of running our studio, one thing has become clear:

If you don’t feel photogenic, it’s not you. It’s how it’s been done.

So we built something different: a fully guided portrait experience designed to help you feel cared for, comfortable, and seen. From design consultation and wardrobe styling to professional hair and makeup, posing guidance, and your private reveal, every part of the process is handled with intention.

Nothing to figure out. Nothing to perform. No standing awkwardly in front of a camera wondering what, exactly, a human is supposed to do with their hands.

We work with women, men, couples, families, high school seniors, entrepreneurs, and professionals stepping into something new, celebrating what they’ve built, or finally giving themselves permission to be photographed in a way that feels true.

Because a portrait, when it’s done with care, is not about vanity.

It’s about recognition.

It’s about seeing the version of yourself the people who love you have been seeing all along.

And sometimes, it becomes the first time you look at yourself and think:

There I am.

You deserve to have photos you love.”
