Our Legacy

Born from Lee Studio - A Legacy That Spans Generations

Studio79 began its journey in 1988 as Lee Studio, one of Virar's earliest dedicated photography studios. For over three decades, Lee Studio was a household name for families across Virar West, capturing weddings, portraits, and milestones long before digital photography changed the world.

In carrying that legacy forward, Studio79 was born combining the warmth and trust of 36 years of family photography with modern techniques, premium props, and a specialised focus on maternity, newborn, baby milestone, and wedding photography.

Today, we serve the third generation of families who were first photographed at Lee Studio. That continuity of trust, a grandmother, a mother, a daughter all captured by the same studio, the same values is what defines us. It is not just a business. It is a legacy.

What Sets Us Apart

Why Virar's Families Choose Studio79

Every photography studio promises beautiful photos. We promise something more — a calm, unhurried experience where your baby's safety is non-negotiable, your vision is heard, and your memories are treated with the care they deserve.

🛡️
Baby-Safe Studio, Always

Our studio is temperature-controlled to 26–28°C for newborn sessions. All props, wraps, and surfaces are sanitised before every shoot. Only trained, gentle hands ever handle your newborn. We never compromise on this, ever.

🎨
Premium Props Updated Every Season

We maintain one of the largest prop and gown collections in Virar — floral walls, boho setups, nautical themes, minimal whites, and classic studio looks. Our props are curated, not generic, and updated every season.

🕐
We Work at Your Baby's Pace

We never rush a session. We build in feeding breaks, soothing time, and outfit changes naturally. Most newborn sessions run 2–3 hours. If your baby needs more time, we take more time. Simple as that.

✍️
Every Image is Hand-Retouched

No bulk editing software. Every image in your gallery is individually retouched by our editing team — skin tones balanced, lighting refined, emotion preserved. Delivered within 7–10 days of your session.

💬
Pre-Shoot Consultation Included

Every booking includes a WhatsApp consultation before your session. We discuss your setups, outfits, props, and any specific requests. Your session is planned, not improvised — and that shows in every frame.

🏡
36 Years of Local Trust

We are not a new studio with a good Instagram feed. We are Virar's most established photography studio, trusted by three generations of families. When you walk in, you are not a new client — you are part of our family.

Our Philosophy

What We Believe In

Studio79's story begins with Lee Studio - founded by P. V. George, one of Virar's earliest and most respected photographers. For decades, Lee Studio was a household name across Virar West, capturing weddings, portraits, and family milestones long before digital photography changed the world.

That legacy was passed down to his son, Shaiju George, who grew up learning the craft alongside his father, developing not just technical skill, but a deep sensitivity to the human moments that make photography meaningful. With over two decades of experience, Shaiju now leads Studio79, bringing the same values his father built Lee Studio on trust, patience, and artistry into a premium, modern studio space.

Today, Studio79 specialises in maternity, newborn, baby milestone, and wedding photography with a focus on capturing elegance, innocence, and emotion with precision and care. Families who were first photographed at Lee Studio now bring their own children to Shaiju. That continuity a grandmother, a mother, a daughter all captured by the same family, the same values, is not just a business. It is a living legacy.

Patience is our strength. Babies do not follow schedules. We know this. Our sessions are never rushed, never timed out. If your newborn needs 20 minutes of soothing, we soothe for 20 minutes. If your toddler wants to play before they pose, we play.

Legacy over transactions. We are not focused on volume. We are focused on doing fewer sessions better, giving each family the full Studio79 experience. Families who visit us once almost always return for every milestone. That is the relationship we build.

Premium at every step. From the gown you wear to the final album you hold, every touchpoint with Studio79 is premium. We have never competed on price because we compete on experience, quality, and trust.
