Our Story

Studio Mimico was born from a deep love for capturing life's most precious moments. We believe that the first days, weeks, and months of a new life deserve to be documented with the same care, tenderness, and artistry that parents bring to every moment with their little ones.

Our name, Mimico, reflects our approach — we mimic the gentle, loving environment that babies need to feel safe and content. Every session is designed around your baby's comfort, with warm temperatures, soft lighting, and patient, unhurried timing.

Located in Boralesgamuwa, our studio is a tranquil retreat where families can relax, bond, and create memories that will be treasured for generations. We are not just photographers; we are parents, caregivers, and artists who understand the profound significance of these fleeting moments.

What We Believe

Our core values guide everything we do, from the moment you inquire to the day you receive your gallery.

Safety First

Your baby's wellbeing is our absolute priority. We are trained in newborn safety and never compromise on careful, gentle handling. Every pose is natural and comfortable.

Timeless Artistry

We create images that transcend trends. Our style is clean, elegant, and focused on the pure beauty of your baby. These are portraits you will treasure forever.

Comfort & Care

From our warm, inviting studio to our patient approach, we ensure that both babies and parents feel completely at ease throughout the entire experience.

What this means for you:

  • Studio temperature is kept warm and comfortable (around 26-28°C)
  • All props, blankets, and fabrics are sanitized between sessions
  • We follow your baby's cues and never rush or force positions
  • Feeding and comfort breaks are built into every session
  • Composite images are used for any poses that require extra support

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our studio in Boralesgamuwa, our sessions, and how we care for your family from the first hello to the final gallery.

What safety measures do you follow for newborns?

A parent or assistant is always within arm’s reach. Our studio maintains comfortable temperatures and uses sanitized props and fabrics.

Where is Studio Mimico located in Colombo?

Our boutique photography studio is in Raththanapitiya, Boralesgamuwa — just 30 minutes from central Colombo and easily accessible from Nugegoda, Dehiwala, Mount Lavinia, and Maharagama. The full address and Google Maps directions are available on our Contact page.

Is parking available at the studio?

Yes — free private parking is available right outside the studio for clients. Just let us know in advance if you are coming with multiple cars so we can reserve space for your family.

Do you offer on-location or outdoor photography in Sri Lanka?

Our newborn and milestone sessions are studio-based for safety and consistency, but maternity and family sessions can be photographed on location across the Western Province — including beaches in Mount Lavinia, parks in Colombo, and private homes. On-location bookings include a travel surcharge.

How much does a newborn photography session cost in Sri Lanka?

Our newborn sessions start from packages that include the session fee, edited digital images, and an online gallery. Prices vary by package and add-ons — see our Packages page for current LKR pricing. We also offer flexible payment plans and gift vouchers.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept bank transfers to our local Sri Lankan account and all major credit and debit cards. A 50% deposit secures your booking, and the balance is due on the day of your session.

Do you offer gift vouchers for photography sessions?

Yes! Gift vouchers make a wonderful present for expecting parents, new grandparents, or family milestones. Vouchers are valid for 12 months and can be redeemed against any session type or package. Contact us to purchase.

What ages are best for baby milestone sessions?

We recommend milestone sessions at three classic ages: 3–4 months (tummy time and smiles), 6–8 months (sitter session — once baby can sit unassisted), and 12 months (cake smash or first birthday). Each captures a beautifully distinct stage of your baby’s first year.

When is the best time for a maternity photoshoot?

The sweet spot for maternity photography is between 28 and 34 weeks — your bump is beautifully round, and you are still comfortable enough to move and pose with ease. We can guide you on timing once you book.

What languages are spoken during the session?

Our team is fluent in English, Sinhala, and Tamil. We will conduct your session in whichever language makes you and your family most comfortable.

What makes Studio Mimico different from other photographers in Colombo?

We are a boutique studio focused exclusively on the early seasons of family life — newborns, babies, maternity, and families. Every session is built around safety, calm pacing, and timeless aesthetics, with custom-designed sets and unhurried sittings. Our founders — a lead photographer and a dedicated set designer — collaborate on every shoot.

Do you sell printed photo albums and wall art?

Yes — we offer fine art albums, framed prints, canvases, and gallery walls crafted by trusted local print partners. We will guide you through artwork options after your gallery is delivered so your favourite images can live beyond the screen.
