About This Small Business
Where Your Photos Find The Care They Deserve
Founded by Monica, an archivist and Atlantic Canada’s only Certified Photo Manager, SPM places a focus on care, structure, and long-term preservation, handling your photos with the same attention and intention as any valued collection.
With a thoughtful structure in place, your photos become easy to find, simple to share, and preserved for the long term, so the stories they hold remain accessible and meaningful for years to come.
SMART Photo Management is led by Atlantic Canada’s only Certified Photo Manager, accredited by The Photo Managers, a global organization setting the standard for professional photo organizing, preservation, and management.
Photos hold the moments that matter most, but when they’re scattered across phones, hard drives, and boxes, they’re easy to lose track of and difficult to enjoy. Without a clear system, even meaningful images can become buried, duplicated, or forgotten over time.
SMART Photo Management helps individuals and families bring order to their photo collections, whether print, digital, or a combination of both. From boxes of loose photographs to overwhelming digital libraries, each project is designed to transform your collection into something organized, accessible, and easy to enjoy.

Monica Smart, Certified Photo Manager
Growing up as a second-generation Canadian in New Brunswick, I always lived far from my extended family.
Family photos became a way for my brother and me to stay connected, learn about our parents’ childhoods, and revisit our own earliest memories, and having those photos to look back on helps me connect with my past and my loved ones.
Now, with a passion for collections management and a professional background in archives and art history, I help others preserve, organize, and reconnect with the stories held in their photo collections.

I work with clients both locally and remotely. Depending on your location and the type of project, we can find an approach that works best, whether it’s in-person support or a remote workflow.

Timelines and pricing vary depending on the size, condition, and complexity of your collection. After a collection assessment, I’ll outline a clear timeline and provide a customized quote based on your specific needs so you know what to expect before moving forward.

There are a few different ways to get your photos to me, depending on your location and the type of project. If you’re local, we can arrange a drop-off or pick-up. If you’re working with me remotely, I’ll walk you through secure shipping or digital transfer options so everything arrives safely.

Not at all! There’s no obligation to move forward after the consultation. It’s a chance for us to talk through your project, answer your questions, and see if it feels like the right fit.
