About the studio
A small studio
that works slowly.
Smritika Moments photographs weddings, maternity, families and newborns across Southern Ontario. This is the part of the studio given over entirely to the first weeks.
Newborn work is separated out because it is not like the rest. It cannot be scheduled to the hour. It cannot be rushed. It asks a photographer to sit in a warm room for three hours and wait for a person six days old to decide they are comfortable — and then to be ready, quietly, when they do.
Over 8+ years and 300+ celebrations, the studio has arrived at a way of working that puts almost everything after the baby’s comfort: the pacing, the poses, the room temperature, the length of the morning, and when to stop.
What comes out of that is photographs that look unhurried, because they were.

What the studio believes
Plainly
put.
The baby decides
Pacing, poses and length are set by the baby, not the shot list. Sessions stop for feeding and settling as often as needed.
Nothing is faked about safety
Poses that appear balanced or suspended are composites made from frames where a parent was holding the baby throughout. Ask about any photograph and you will be told how it was made.
Timeless over trendy
Neutral wraps, real texture, quiet colour. In fifteen years the photographs should look like your child rather than like the year they were taken.
Everyone in the room counts
Parents, siblings and grandparents are photographed too. Those are usually the frames families print.
Printed, not just stored
A file on a phone is not a photograph anyone looks at. The collections build towards prints, framed pieces and albums.
Or just ask
A question is not a commitment.
