Five ways into the Sêdona world.
Editorial portraits in the studio. Lifestyle, alive, outdoors.
The intention never changes — only the light.
From a quick studio portrait to a half-day on location with a maker.
Every session — start to finish — is directed by Nicole.
-
The Studio · Individual
45 min · 5–6 images · One concept, one mood
A clean backdrop, nothing else competing for attention. No concept call, no wardrobe conversation — just you, directed, for forty-five minutes.
It's the fastest way to get a portrait that actually looks like you, not a rushed one.minutes. This is the session for people who want a real portrait — not a selfie, not a LinkedIn headshot from 2019 — without planning a whole shoot around it.
-
The Studio · Editorial · Individual
90 min · 10–12 images · Full creative direction
Before you walk in, Nicole already knows what she's building — wardrobe, mood, references, all worked out from what you send her.
Ninety minutes of full direction: light, expression, the angle of your chin, what you do with your hands.
This is the session people mean when they say they finally have a portrait they actually like.
-
Outdoors · Lifestyle · Couples & Families
90 min · 12–15 images · Bern & surroundings
Bern's landscape is extraordinary — golden hour in summer, misty forests, open fields, moody overcast skies that give photographs a memory-like quality.
Nicole still directs, but the location and light do part of the work. The result looks like a beautiful memory — not a posed session.
-
On location · Documentary
Half day · 20–25 images · Your location
Nicole comes to your world and documents what you've built — your space, your hands, your process. Not a staged brand shoot. A portrait of your work, alive in its natural environment. For architects, ceramicists, interior designers and artisanal brands.

The space, on its own terms — lounge, makeup room, cyclorama, natural light that shifts through the day. Coffee, tea, and water included. No equipment, no photographer — just the atelier and whatever you're there to make in it.
The process
"Before I pick up the camera, I want to know how you feel in front of one."
What you love, what you hate, what you've never quite managed to get right in a photo. I build your moodboard, your wardrobe direction and your light concept from what you send me — so by the time you walk in, we're already on the same page.
The Mini Portrait skips this — no form, no concept, just a clean backdrop and direction on the day.

Workshops and Gatherings
One of the dreams behind Sêdona has always been to create a place where people can come together through creativity. Not just to learn something — to find their people.
-
Sêdona was never meant to be just a photography studio.
It was created as a space where people could create, learn, celebrate and share meaningful experiences.
Future workshops and gatherings may include:
• Floral Workshops
• Ceramics & Pottery
• Photography Workshops
• Journaling Sessions
• Yoga & Wellness Classes
• Creative Talks
• Small Business & Entrepreneurship Events
• Community Gatherings
• Seasonal Experiences
Each event will be intentionally small and thoughtfully curated to encourage creativity, connection and meaningful conversations.
Having built a life away from home, I've come to appreciate how meaningful it can be to find spaces where people genuinely connect. My hope is that Sêdona becomes one of those places — a place where ideas are shared, friendships begin and people leave feeling inspired.
-
The first gathering is being planned.
Floral arrangement. Ceramics. Wine & jazz. Community dinners. Creative conversations with people building something, far from home.
