Hey!

I am Priya – the mind and heart behind THE HAPPYNESS RATIO.

I was not one of those photographers who got a camera as a teen and followed my dreams to art school. Actually, it’s quite the opposite. I was busy chasing my corporate dream and I never knew I would have any interest in making memory books and photography until reality hit. I lost my parents very early in life and all I had left were their photo memories in my hand. It was then when I realised the value of a photograph. 

Soon after marriage when I had my first daughter, Rheya, something drew me towards making life story memory books. Books that would bring alive lost memories, hidden feelings and more importantly celebrate one’s life. My books speak the language of love and I saw the impact my work would have on families, that’s when I knew “This is it – real moments, real feelings, real stories”.

 Few years into this with over 400 documented stories I realised that every picture treasured has a magical memory behind it. So, why not capture that magic through my camera lens? I picked up the camera and turned into a self-learnt lifestyle family photographer.

Today, capturing magical moments and documenting memories has become a part of me. I am awake practically every other night editing photographs or collating pictures for a life story book. I’m driven by just this one thing that “One day my work may very well be the single most keepsake a family has left”. I have found my calling.

Thank you for making it this far in my story.
I look forward to getting to know you and your loved ones.
Over to you!​

– Priya
