Smita Photography

To call Smita an «amazing photographer» is almost an insult. She is WAY beyond amazing in every conceivable way. She took photos of my daughter when she was 12 days old and 6 months old, and I still get emotional when I look at her work. She has so many cool and innovative ideas for photos that I never would’ve thought of, she’s always on-​time, has a wonderful personality, and has the patience of a saint (which is a prerequisite when dealing with babies). My daughter is now 1 year old and there is zero doubt that I will hire her again for pictures.
Additionally, I hired her to take pictures of ten toddlers for the website of my T-​shirt line. As you can imagine, ten toddlers running around at the same time can become extremely chaotic, but she handled it with the «four C’s» (coolness, confidence, caring, and charisma), and the pictures are simply out of this world. Clients «oooh and aaaah» whenever they come to my website, and I owe all of the credit to Smita’s professionalism and creativity.
Last, but definitely not least — Smita is just a phenomenal human being. Anyone would be proud to have her as a daughter, sister, friend, or photographer — and if you’re looking for a photographer, do yourself a favor and look no further than this woman. She will always have a customer for life in me.

On Unilocal,it says that a 5-​star rating equals «Woohoo! As good as it gets!» Well, I personally can’t think of a better way to describe Smita in every way. My wife and I hired Smita to take family pictures of us and our two little girls (aged 2 ½ and 3 weeks old at the time). Smita was masterful in coming up with creative ideas that ended up making the photo shoot an incredibly fun, easy, and carefree session (anyone with young kids knows that isn’t an easy feat to pull off!) Most importantly, her warm personality put both of my daughters instantly at ease. I literally cannot say enough about how impressed we were with her friendly spirit and incredible professionalism.
Of course after that experience, I made the no-​brainer decision to hire her again – this time for my own personal headshot portfolio. I told her what I was looking to accomplish, and with confidence, she instantly said «no worries, I can do that!» Needless to say, the photo shoot far exceeded my expectations. I still can’t believe how nice all of the pics came out.
The best way that I can describe Smita is that she makes the complicated seem easy. She is super-​patient, friendly, über-​professional, a freaking creative genius, and best of all – she’s a fantastic person. I cannot recommend Smita’s services highly enough. Thanks again, you’ve got a fan for life (but you probably already knew that).

Smita is an absolute dream to work with — she is utterly professional, prompt in her correspondence, VERY patient with nervous brides (like me), and fully committed to making her clients happy. Plus she is warm and funny; just the person you want around on your big day! She did an amazing engagement shoot with us in NYC in the middle of 100 degree heat — and through her expert guidance and skills, made us look fantastic. We had a joint Hindu-​Christian wedding, and her photos from our sangeet (pre-​wedding party/​rehearsal dinner) and both religious ceremonies showcase her innate ability to capture the big important moments along with the best, most sentimental moments, no matter the background of her clients. I would absolutely recommend Smita Photography for any wedding, big or small!

Smita of Smita Photography was a great photographer for our engagement session and wedding in July. She handled both with courtesy and warmth and it was a pleasure working wiith her. She worked extremely hard to capture all the important moments in our wedding and reception. Best of all, the pictures all turned out beautifully. Smita’s second photographer also did a wonderful job, and Smita coordinated very well with our videographer and venue. I would hire Smita again for any event in the future and already plan on scheduling a portrait session with her.

From the moment my husband and I viewed Smita’s website provided to us by a friend, we knew we had a connection to her style and vision! We reached out to her immediately for information and she was nothing but professional, prompt and personable throughout the process. Smita’s flexibility and adventurous spirit made her such a pleasure to work with!
For our «vintage travel» themed wedding, she was an enthusiastic and willing partner to our crazy idea of having our engagement photos taken as we traveled by train from our wedding venue in Fullerton, to the Fullerton train station where we boarded a train to downtown Los Angeles. At Union Station we continued our session and then headed across the street to the the colorful and cultural placita of Olvera Street. She made it so easy and comfortable for us and she captured all the fun-​loving moments of our day together.
For the wedding day, Smita not only made sure she was on time, she even went early to meet with our day-​of coordinator at the venue before meeting with us at the hotel. She wanted to make sure that she knew where all the possible locations were for our wedding day photos post ceremony so that the evening would go smoothly. She arrived at our hotel early as well to ensure that she had enough time for the «getting ready» photos.
The second photographer was also very professional, talented and excellent with our families! We had a lot of family portraits to get through and she was super on-​point with helping gather our family members.
We are very grateful for the work that Smita has done for our engagement and wedding. Not only did she make it so easy to work with her, the most special moments in our lives were handled with so much care and joy. Since we received our photos, I think I’ve looked at them at least once a week! Everyone we’ve shared our photos with have complimented Smita’s work to no end. We are so happy that she was our photographer and now, a friend.

Smita photographed my engagement photos and wedding in October. She was very professional and accommodating. She was able to capture the happiness and love of our special day. She was very flexible with our schedule and what pictures we wanted to take. She has an amazing eye for taking beautiful photos. The second photographer was amazing and made the groomsmen look fantastic. He was able to provide another perspective and was very easy to work with. I cannot say enough about Smita, she is a very professional and followed up with emails immediately. She was very prompt and answered any questions I had. I would recommend her without question.
