—————————————
Čedna’s work is a mixture of art and magic. She puts you at ease and somehow manages to capture the essence of personality and character before you even know it’s happening. She is such a pleasure to work with.
Her kind heart leads every aspect of her work

——————————————
Not only is Cedna extremely professional and creative, she has the unique ability to capture unexpected moments and feelings in every shot. She knows how to convey the essence of the moment, effortlessly. I have hired her to photograph not only my family, but also my art work and could not have been happier.
Hire this woman. She's the bomb.

__________________________
I’ve never met someone who spurs me on creatively as much as you. You taught me to see the dance between light and shadows and pulled me in front of your lens rather than behind the scenes. Your determination taught me not to settle, to be fierce, courageous and uncompromising with what matters most. The most sincere photos of my personal practice were made by your hands and when I was at my most vulnerable.
So much love for you and your art.

The amount of time dedicated to preparation and planning, duration and styling of your session and the intended use of final images is what differs these two services.

Of course! The level of attention and quality of work does not change, only the amount of time we spend together and level of pre-session planning will be less. A headshot session is likely the best option for you. Let us know what you are looking for and we will make best recommendations.

WHICH SITTING SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Headshot Express Sessions are perfect for people looking for a quick session with some variation in wardrobe and background choices. It’s for those who don’t have a hard delivery date as these sessions are held only a few times a year on pre-determined dates. 30 min in studio session allows for 2 background choices and 2 wardrobe changes, and a 15min review/image ordering appointment immediately afterwards.
Signature Headshot Sessions - If you require a more personalized service, a larger variation of poses (sitting, standing and leaning with variations of close up, waist up and full length), our standard headshot sessions are a better fit. You also have the flexibility to select a date that works best for your schedule and are not constrained to our pre-set dates. There is more time to understand your unique needs and more time spent together to allow us to translate your requirements into diverse professional images of various formats.
Branding Photography Session: these sessions are the best of what we offer, fully customizable and are perfect for business owners that wish to incorporate their products, process, different styling, locations and other business details into their images. A wide range of images is created to allow for diverse content which can be used to promote the business throughout the year. Branding Sessions include professional hair and makeup, a brand design and styling consultation to plan your session, incorporate all the important considerations and ensure we create a cohesive set of images that portray your personality, values and brand messaging.
