Hey, I'm Seda
After decades of watching families grow, laugh and change at the beloved Cafe Calbay in downtown La Grange, I’m thrilled to launch Calbay Studio — a place where your life’s chapters become forever memories.
While you may always remember me help run the cafe.
I've always been behind a camera. As a former social media producer I spent over a decade working with the world's biggest brands and creating stories on social, TV, print and radio.
Now, I get to share my passion with La Grange - after all mom’s favorite part was watching kids she knew as babies come back as high-schoolers, college grads, and eventually married couples.
Now, As the founder of Calbay Content Studio, I bring that same heart to photography and creative-storytelling. Because your story matters. Your memories deserve to live on.
Whether it’s new family photos, weddings, a branding shoot, social media content / strategy or simply...capturing
“this moment” before it becomes “the good old days"
I'm here for it.

Once, Calbay's was where
La Grange gathered for coffee, conversation, and connection.
Now, it’s where creators gather to dream, shoot, and build. The Calbay Collective is your home base — for creators, brands, and storytellers who crave community and space that feels like home, with better lighting.
