LIFE MOVES FAST. SO DO YOUR KIDS.
SEE THEM & DOCUMENT THEM AS WORKS OF ART - WHERE CHARACTER, SOULFULNESS AND AWARD WINNING ARTISTRY COME TOGETHER.
DO YEARS OF YOUR KIDS’ SCHOOL PHOTOS PORTRAY THEIR TRUE ESSENCE?
Are you collecting fridge magnets and 5x7 print outs just to say you have something to mark the passing of time?
What if, instead of just documenting another year, you saw your children through intentional and meaningful portraits that reflect their personality, spirit, and true presence?
It’s time for portraits that actually say something about who your kids are.
OUR FIRST EVER KIDS/TEENS MINI SERIES
PUT AWAY THE COOKIE-CUTTER SCHOOL PHOTOS an SEE YOUR KIDS AS WORKS OF ART THEY ARE
INTRODUCING THE ESSENTIAL KIDS SERIES
Exciting, dynamic ONE DAY event designed to document the true character and spirit of your kids. Same level of quality, artistry & award winning imagery we are known for but a more condensed version of our custom sessions - honouring busy schedules and preserving kids finite attention spans.
✔️ Fast & effective — 30-minute session + 30-minute photo review and selection
✔️ No wardrobe stress — you’ll receive a simple, complete prep guide
✔️ No overwhelm — we guide your kids every step of the way, so you can relax and let us preserve their best energy (no endless posing required)
✔️ Beautiful outcomes — tangible art, not just another photo lost on your phone
✔️ Personal touch — sessions may include a beloved pet, favourite instrument, accessory, or a symbol of what matters most to your child right now
Choose from a curated selection of backgrounds: grey, black, off-white, bright blue, or soft blush.
All with the same authentic artistry, timeless aesthetic, and character as our full custom sessions.
From playful childhood to bold teen years (ages 3–19).
LESS “CHEESE”. MORE SOUL.
CHILDREN PORTRAITS WITH HEART
We believe in portraits that deliver personality, creativity, modern flair yet timeless resonance. We believe in less forced cheese smiles and more soul. More authentic presence.
Document your child’s true nature and raw spirit, their individuality and character. Those are the things that are worth remembering. Our speciality is capturing nuances and beauty in fast, adaptive and creative ways and creating tangible artwork that speaks to all the fleeting years and memories which pass much too quickly.
SESSION CAN BE USED FOR
modern portraits beyond school photos and park minis &
a tangible keepsake to proudly display in home/office
portraits with pet
Acting/singing/dance headshots
High school graduation portraits
University/job application photos (teen headshots)
Sports or music themed portrait (they bring jersey/instrument)
If your teen’s graduation has already passed and the school photos fell flat, this is your chance to capture who they really are. These sessions aren’t just about documenting a milestone (cap and gown) - they’re likely the last opportunity you have as a parent to document them before they set off to college, potentially move away and become a little less present in your life.
Whether they’re stepping into new studies, moving abroad, getting their first job and polishing their online presence, or simply embracing who they’ve become, these portraits create space for personality, intention and for their style to shine.
From impactful headshots, to custom wall art and coffee table books, matted prints our state-of-the-art keepsakes are designed to inspire for years to come.
CELEBRATE YOUR TEEN IN PORTRAITS
THAT TRULY REFLECT THEM
Say goodbye to generic snapshots and lacklustre school photos. See your teen through award-winning artistry — bold, timeless, and beautifully personal.

AboUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER
CEDNA (CHEDNA) is an internationally accredited and award winning portrait photographer specializing in dynamic and intentional portraits of everyday people. At Cedna Portrait Stories we are dedicated to transforming seemingly ordinary into extraordinary. We believe family isn’t just something you document, but something you honour. Our work is a quiet tribute to family values, connection, memories and belonging.
Our studio was founded on the belief that family portraits should be more than just mere snapshots. We create intentional art meant to exist beyond the screen — tangible, emotive, essential. From beautiful matted prints to handmade albums, custom wall art, these heirlooms are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We believe your home should be a reflection of who you are, what matters most, an expression of people you love the most. Our mission is to inspire families to make a bold statement through tangible art, not art that matches their curtains but art that speaks to what matters.
STUDIO
A space that invites conversation, creation and freedom of expression.
Our studio is a space of creation and freedom. Freedom to be yourself without pretense or judgement. It’s a space for curiosity, celebration, expression and it’s open to all who are willing to share their truth and engage with openness and kindness. Ever evolving in its aesthetic yet fiercely committed to cultivating self-discovery, inclusivity and inspiring people to reach for the best version of themselves they can be.
