About Family Photography
How I Capture Your Family
I’m all about catching those real moments - the messy, the sweet, the loud, and the quiet. Family life isn’t perfect, and I don’t try to make it look that way. I want your photos to feel like you, not like a magazine ad.
What Happens in a Session
- No stiff posing. I’ll guide you, but mostly I want you to play, laugh, and just be yourselves.
- I’m there for the candid family portraits - the giggles, the hugs, the chaos.
- If you’re worried about what to do with your hands or how to stand, I’ll help out. But honestly, the best shots happen when you forget I’m even there.
Where We Shoot
- Studio: Clean, simple, or a bit boho. Great for classic shots.
- Outdoors: If you love natural light family photos, parks or beaches are perfect. We move, we play, we get those bright, airy vibes.
- At Home: Lifestyle family photography is my favourite for real, cozy moments. I’ll come over and capture you just hanging out.
Special Mini-Sessions
I run themed shoots for festivals and occasions - Christmas, Rakhi, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day. These are quick, fun, and perfect for updating your family album.
Why I Do This
I love being trusted with your memories. My goal is simple - photos that make you feel something every time you look at them.

My Story
Hey, I’m Himakshi - Squint and Smile is just me with my camera, chasing real moments. I get a kick out of catching those blink-and-you-miss-it smiles, messy birthday giggles, and the little chaos that makes family... well, family. Not here for stiff poses or fake grins. I just want you to look back and feel the love, every time. Lucky to do what I love, honestly.
My Work
Family & Baby Shoots - I do maternity, newborn, baby, toddler, and family sessions. Milestone portraits and cake smash sessions too.
Minimal & Fun Styles - Love minimal newborn photography, but also totally up for Pinterest-inspired baby shoots and playful themes.
Real Moments, Real Memories - You just be you. I’ll capture the giggles, cuddles, and all that real family love.
Custom Props & Themes - Loads of wraps, props, and backdrops. Want a rainbow or sailor vibe? Let’s make it happen.
