My name is pronounced C h e d n a and I am a Calgary, Alberta based wedding and family photographer. I have a wild ambition and dedication to convey individuality and diversity through honest and authentic storytelling. I believe there is something infinitely beautiful in creating memories filled with meaningful elements and genuine moments that celebrate the big as well as the unassuming and seemingly ordinary. My raw perspective of the world allows me to see things through a different lens and to craft compelling images where emotion, the spirit of my subjects and dynamic lighting converge. I naturally gravitate to the beauty and grit of reality. I think that what is real is true and what is true is ultimately beautiful. My clients describe me as having an effortless ability to capture the essence of who they are. Being able to recognize and portray that energy means they trust me in order to enable me to see those aspects and because I know that trust is earned I work like hell to earn it. Most of all I have a genuine love for what I do and where there is love good things happen.

My love language is Acts of Service  and I display love through commitment and unfailing presence to the people who entrust me with documenting those stories. A great deal of things move me and I cry at all of them, I dance too much, I am an extroverted introvert, a lover of classic romance, poetry and metaphors, hand written letters, red lipstick and great shoes. I am excited that you have found your way here. If my approach and images resonate with you in any way we are likely a fantastic fit and it would be wonderful to explore and create together.
