Calgary Family Photographer

About Us

Hello & Welcome!

Hi, I’m Sharyar, the photographer behind Box Cube Studios. My passion is capturing the genuine spirit of your family’s connections against the stunning canvas of Calgary and the majestic Rocky Mountains. I focus on documenting those unscripted moments—the spontaneous laughter, tender embraces, and playful interactions that truly define your family’s unique story. With my candid, lifestyle approach to photography, I create timeless images that feel as authentic as the memories they preserve.

From Calgary’s urban parks to the breathtaking landscapes of Banff and Canmore, I specialize in utilizing Alberta’s natural beauty as the perfect setting for your family portraits. My photography sessions are relaxed adventures where families can simply enjoy being together while I artfully document these fleeting moments. Whether it’s the golden light filtering through mountain valleys or the vibrant colors of Calgary’s changing seasons, I harness the natural environment to create imagery that’s as remarkable as the connections I capture. Let me transform your family’s everyday magic into extraordinary photographic heirlooms.

Sharyar was awesome. He was professional, responsive, timely, and (importantly) took amazing photos for our wedding. He made two people who don't know how to pose look and feel more natural! I recommend Sharyar and Box Cube for your engagement and wedding photos 🙂

Short summary: Box Cube did a wonderful job! They were professional and courteous throughout our entire experience. Despite challenges and things the derailed us Box Cube (Sharyar) got us back on track without missing any of the photos we wanted. It’s like he pause time. Thank you Sharyar and Box Cube! Full review: From day one Box Cube/Sharyar was professional and told us that he was there to help. We met with a total of 23 photographers and videographers and when we decided on Box Cube we didn’t really know what they meant by “I’m here to help you”. Box Cube got us in front of a camera too feel a bit more comfortable and to learn about the style and pictures we liked. They also assisted with our search for makeup artist, hair dressers, location ideas, formal combinations, etc. Box Cube/Sharyar was like a mini wedding assistant. As the day came closer the support increased up to the day (they didn’t just take a deposit and disappear). They were again professional and helped us overcome “hiccups” and ensured they got all the photos we wanted. They caught every moment throughout the day (don’t think they even ate or took a break ….sorry). I’m not sure what happened but at some point my wedding party grew by 1. Somehow Box Cube/Sharyar was taking photos doing his thing but was still checking in to make sure I didn’t need anything. You would think when he checked in it was about photography right? NOPE, I knew my bridal party grew when Sharyar came over (me thinking there is a problem) just to ask if we need water or a drink and said “we are having a great time”. We were presented a reception slide show which was amazing. Finally when our photos were done we received another slide show that we are going to watch forever. The photo albums, canvas prints, etc are worthy of a museum. Absolutely there are the Costcos, London Drugs, etc but if you want quality save your efforts and save your memories with Box Cube. I’m not an art person by far but if I can notice a difference… Thank You Box Cube and I can’t wait to be able to work with you guys for family photos.

Sharyar was amazing! He took gorgeous photos of our wedding. He is extremely friendly and easy to work with and he and his team were professionals and we rarely noticed they were there. He was excellent at providing feedback and setting us up for poses as we had no idea what we were doing. He was also very helpful in the planning stage before the wedding and helped us figure out timing for everything as well. The wedding album is amazing and worth the price.

We had a great experience with Sharyar during our engagement session. We are both shy but he made us feel super comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the session. Even for a mini session he put in all the time needed. Great experience. He is our lifelong photographer now 🙂

Right from our initial contact Sharyar was professional and immediately had us excited to book him! We have had our engagement photos so far, and we are more than thrilled. If our wedding photos turn out even half as nice our memories will be incredible! Sharyar was not only amazing, he was kind, funny and worked so well with us and our giant puppy completely making us comfortable in front of the camera. We could not recommend him more, if you haven't booked your wedding photographer yet you definitely stopped by the right place- book Sharyar you won't be disappointed!

Why us?

Family Portraits That Speak...

We capture those moments that are unique to your family but are over before you know it. Things like how your baby lights up when she sees you, and coos through your special and unique routine, or how your son turns the laundry basket into his play fort and rockets across the hallway in it, laundry flying.

These moments are so precious, and yet all too soon kids grow up and move on to the next stage, and the family is not the same as it was. When that happens, photos from the days when pancakes were still “Pakes” and kisses were sticky will be with you always.
