Hey everyone! Once again, our yearly headshot sessions are back and Trena Laine Makeup Studio and I are so happy to announce the dates! October 18 and 19, details below! Email me to book!

when I saw Svetlana was doing a 'Mother's Day' shoot I JUMPED at the chance... I flew my mum in for the day so she could be pampered and get some AMAZING photos of her and of us (I previously didn't have any special photos with my mum).... and Svetlana and Trena outdid themselves! Mum was nervous at first as she's NEVER done anything like this... Svetlana put her at ease instantly! (and mum rocked the shoot!). We had so many laughs! It was just a really special day with my mum.... and the video she put together captures it all! I couldn't be happier with the day and the photos! Anyone even considering it... DO IT! You won't regret it! Capture those memories... they're precious.

You are a magician! We are so thrilled with our photos and had a ball at the photo shoot with you. Your talent to capture people and bring out their inner beauty and spirit is unmatched! I am beyond happy.

When I met Svetlana at a business event I knew immediately that she would be a perfect fit to do some family photos. Our day went completely sideways as it sometimes does with a grumpy one year old but Svetlana fabulous and now we have memories to last a lifetime!

What an absolutely amazing experience I shared with my mom today for our Mother’s Day photo shoot. We both felt so relaxed and at ease with Svetlana guiding us while snapping away. She’s very pleasant and fun to work with. I can’t wait to see how the photos turned out. I’m so glad my mom and I got to experience that fun pampering day together.

We first hired Svetlana for our engagement photos. You know how we ladies all talk to ourselves...in our heads. that we aren't beautiful enough or too this or that.



Well, after seeing the photos Svetlana took, I could not even try those lies on myself. I could not deny that I looked absolutely beautiful, gorgeous, amazing, sexy... I was proud to be the one in the photos and say, that's me! [My husband of course didn't have anything to improve upon - he's handsome already ;)]



Svetlana perfectly and beautifully captured our excitement of getting engaged, the unspoken feelings of love and appreciation my soon to be husband had for each other, thinking about spending our lives taking care of each other. It was all in our photos.



So hiring her (along with her amazing second photographer Monica) to do our wedding was of course the right choice. There's no compromising with the photos of your wedding day - they are FOREVER. And once again, Svetlana, so beautifully, passionately, in her unique way immortalized us as King and Queen of our new life together, presented us to the world in a regal way, even more stunningly, gorgeously, and beautifully as ever.



Thank you - THANK YOU Svetlana. Your own beauty reflects what you are able to see in all of us.



If I ever have children, to also introduce to the world, we will call you again, that's for sure.



Love You!



Lisa (and Christian) Beaulieu

Svetlana was so much fun to work with, and was able to wrangle 15 opinionated people and three hyper dogs for family photos. We did formal family portraits, individual portraits, and fun outdoor shots. She was extremely easy to get in contact with and replied to my emails within the same day. The photos were also ready for viewing 2 days after the shoot which was awesome!

The photos turned out beautifully and the session was a ton of fun!

Thanks so much for your time!

Svetlana posted a model call for everyday women(my words not hers) all she asked for was a write up on why you'd like to be considered. I told her I was learning to love my outsides as much as I had learned and worked hard to love my insides. She agreed to let me be one of the lucky ladies.



She was so helpful, friendly and all around wonderful. Made suggestions on what to bring, had an idea of what she wanted for makeup and hair based on what I brought with me and emailed so quickly when I had questions.



She was just lovely to work with, suggestions, poses etc and kept saying "just trust me it will be great!" And I fully trusted her, she made any nerves go away. And they were/are great! Thanks lady! I look forward to the next time.

Svetlana is now my go-to photographer! No one else compares. If you're someone who's shy in front of the camera or overly critical of yourself (let's face it, most of us are) - I promise, under Svetlana's care any insecurities will disappear. Trust me! She understands women's needs better than any other photographer I've ever met and her pictures prove it! 5 Stars!

Svetlana is amazing! I have always been weird and tense about getting professional photos, but she made the process so easy and enjoyable. The resulting images were great - way better than I expected! I wanted to have them all even without any editing. This is what happens when you deal with someone who loves their job from the bottom of their heart! I highly recommend Svetlana - not only is she very professional, she is a warm and lovely person who will make you feel valued.

Svetlana has been capturing our precious milestones and moments for a few years now. She did our 1 year anniversary photos and as our family grew by 2, she artistically captured our family. Most recently, she did a newborn lifestyle photoshoot and I'm continuously in awe of her talent in capturing the essence of our family and new addition. She has an ability to make you feel comfortable and at ease. I would recommend her to everyone! Thanks Svetlana !

One of my favourite and beautiful humans I have known for many many moons and get to create magic together often. All the fab photoshoots we have collaborated on has been tremendous and look forward to more fun in store with an industry bestie. Luv ya girl �

Living in a house full of boys, I wanted one chance to feel pretty, unique and glamourous and was looking for a while for a photographer who created stunning artistic images I could proudly show people. Ones that reflected who I was. I am so very glad I chose Svetlana. She effortlessly worked with some ideas I had for my session, had a top notch hair and make-up artist and captured incredible images for me; images I know I will have for my children when they grow up…and for myself to look back at and see the beauty that Svetlana saw in me that day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I was quite hesitant going into a boudoir photo shoot, but Svetlana was so easy going and fun to work with...she took all fears and pressure away. Her direction was so helpful, it felt like I was hanging out with an old friend. She really knows how to build a girls confidence.

I have only great things to say about Svetlana and her work. I discovered her on LinkedIn. I saw photos she posted and I thought to myself – wow this girl is really good! My husband needed some photos for his singing gig, so I suggested trying Svetlana out. He had a pretty bad experience with a photographer in the past, where though the photos tuned out good, the price was outrageous. Svetlana did absolutely great! Then she did his band photos a month later (the pictures turned out amazing!!). Svetlana just recently did my business photo. Again, results as expected! She puts people at ease and makes the whole experience fun. She also makes great suggestions regarding clothes, positions, looks, etc. I cannot recommend her enough!! She is also very reasonable with her prices. She is very talented and absolutely the best!

I had never done anything like this in my life, the very thought of it actually frightened me, Svetlana had posted such beautiful pictures, and I wanted to try it, so one day I decided, 'what the heck, lets do this', thankfully Svetlana had a opening right away, or I may have chickened out. So I went, and Svetlana made me very comfortable and we did a lot of laughing, I have no regrets, and beautiful pictures, thank you Svetlana.

Had the most wonderful experience doing a beauty session with Svetlana. She is an extremely talented photographer who made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I treasure the photos that she took. Life is a roller coaster with some extreme highs and rock bottom lows- but she managed to capture the person I am today - she captured the person I am proud of. I cannot thank her enough!

Had an amazing experience having my head shots taken with Svetlana. I absolutely hate having my picture taken but Svetlana did an amazing job making me feel comfortable & confident. I would definitely recommend her to my friends & acquaintances and actually look forward to booking another session at some point in the future.

Big thank you to Svetlana for her kindness and care in my recent photo session. Several friends kept suggesting that I take the plunge and get some shots done and I finally succumbed to peer pressure! All jokes aside, my hesitation had always been that I wanted to make sure that the photos really represented me, that they were not necessarily "beauty", "boudoir" or "sexy". After chatting with Svetlana and sharing my concerns and vision for the shoot, I knew that we would be able to get the strong, athletic, and fashion pics that I was hoping for. Of course she nailed it! Svetlana really takes her time, makes you feel comfortable, confident, and she even managed to get the odd smile out of me!

As a personal branding photographer I know the value of a good image. And when it was time to update my photos she was the first person I contacted. I'm now dealing with the difficulty of having to choose which images to post. If you're looking for a photographer that encourages you before, during and after the session and makes you feel like a million dollars then you'd better contact Svetlana! Professional, fun, and willing to try something new. She brought her creative genius to my time in front of her camera and I'm truly grateful.
