Pioneers in baby photography in Sri Lanka, Pic-a-boo Baby Photography opened its very own baby photography studio over the last weekend. With special features to give clients and their precious little ones the Picaboo studio strives to make every photo shoot an experience to enjoy while creating beautiful memories to last a life time. This is the first dedicated baby photography studio to be opened in Sri Lanka.
The opening was attended by some of the leaders in children’s event industry including kids’ party planners and suppliers as well as some of their valued clients and friends.
Launched in 2012, by proprietor Roshanthi Weragoda as a hobby, Picaboo Baby Photography has had the privilege of recording the most precious memories of over 2,000 clients in the last five years.
Picaboo facebook page now boasts of nearly 50,000 followers. With its own studio at Colombo 8, Picaboo hopes to serve its growing customer base better in a comfortable and child friendly environment. The studio will also provide facilities to create 3D memories introducing 3D casting – moulding newborn hands and feet to last a lifetime.
Roshanthi, a mom of two little girls herself, knows exactly what her very special clients needs, and the studio is created to ensure that the little one is safe and comfortable during the shoot.
An Embryologist by profession, Roshanthi loved taking pictures, and Picaboo Baby Photography was the by-product of this interest. Starting from taking pictures of her friends’ newborns whist working at Ninewells Hospital her hobby quickly developed into a business to fill a much felt void in the photography industry in Sri Lanka – newborn and baby photography.
Having studied and worked in Sydney and London, Roshanthi has managed to combine her experience and management skills from her employment at Ninewells as well as at a leading pharmaceutical company in Sri Lanka, in developing Picaboo from its humble beginnings to what it is at the moment, a well known business in the Baby services industry in Sri Lanka.
Pic-a-Boo offers maternity, newborn and family photo sessions and event photography including kiddies birthday parties, naming ceremonies, christening ceremonies. Pic-a-Boo studio will now have the opportunity to introduce cake smash sessions and in-house mini photo sessions for kids at its studio located at No. 89 1/1, Dudley Senanayake Mw., Colombo 8.
