Hi I’m Saira
I built Naranji JReams Studio to cater to women.
Only 0.5% of recorded history is about women. I’m here as a small act of resistance against this statistic.
My work is all about documenting and celebrating women in thoughtful and artistic ways.
I find my inspiration from both Editorial Images, I obsessively consumed from 90s and Y2K magazines as a kid, and my old-school vintage Family Photos. My style combines these two inspirations.
For me, it’s all about textures, colors, and creating thoughtful concepts. It’s about images that feel emotional and hold depth.
The way I approach my creative projects is influenced by a range of skills and expeirence
The common thread is always a love for people and their humanity
B.A. in English and Photography. I love to think about the human experience and think about people in their uniqueness.
Master’s of Science in Adult Learning Theory and Organizational Psychology. I love to think about how people learn and understand things. How people relate to each other.
12 years of building learning programs for both Leadership and Technical disciplines. I love to think about how people face challenges and transform.
2 years of Naranji JReams Studio. I love to think about the subject in front of me. Who they are, how they want to express themselves. And how to get images that help them express the way they want to be seen.
Client Reviews
“Working with Saira was an absolute dream. I had a vision that aligned with her aesthetic, and she made it come to life. I never felt rushed or like she discounted my desires or suggestions--the process felt quite collaborative.
Turn around was quick, and it’s clear that Saira took as much care with editing her photos as she does shooting. Saira didn’t just deliver us photos, she delivered beautifully inspired art that will last generations”
-KWYN
“Working with Saira is like working with a creative therapist. She listens, creates a safe container, and helps you reflect on what you’re tyring to create. Working with her makes you feel seen, in the best ways. On top of that, she captures images and video that are stunning”
-Hannah of Saffron Cowboy
“She made me feel very comfortable and created such a fun environment. I really felt like I was able to convey my true personality.”
-DYM Pasadena, Books and Boba shop owner
Saira set up a Photo Booth at my audiobook launch party last month and did an incredible job. First, she set up an initial consultation in which she asked thorough questions to understand my needs. Then, she took the time to read the book and designed a custom set based on its themes. She also made my guests at the event feel happy and comfortable, as well as supplied props for their photos. Highly recommend working with Saira if you want someone who pays attention to detail and truly cares about her clients.

-Bree
I’m on a mission to inspire the world towards a matriarchy. As cat lady who’s exiled herself from working for ‘the man’, I’m going to fight for the underdog.
