Hi, I am Crista Smith

The Photographer behind Smith & Light

A photographer smiles while holding a Canon camera against autumn leaves in golden light.

The Saskatchewan prairie isn’t just my backdrop—it’s part of every story I tell.


You’ll usually find me chasing sunsets, pulling over on a grid road for storm clouds, or staying just a little longer because the prairie always has one more show to put on.


The best photos happen when you embrace the moment—not when you chase perfection. The belly laughs, the windblown hair, the muddy boots, and the moments that make you forget the camera is even there.


When I’m not behind the camera, I’m spending time with my husband and our two girls, attempting to keep my sourdough starter alive, drinking way too much coffee, or creating mildly unhinged reels that somehow end up on the internet.


If you’ve got a wild idea, a favourite back road, or you’re willing to trust me when I say, “Just five more minutes… the light is about to get really good,” I think we’re going to get along just fine.


Rain in the forecast? Perfect. Some of my favourite sessions have started with dark clouds.


Let’s make something that feels like you
