Your Greater Los Angeles Family & Motherhood Photographer
Hi! I'm Chaya,
As a teacher and mother of five, I know firsthand how quickly childhood changes - and how much these photographs will mean, not only to you now, but to your children someday.
For more than 17 years, I've had the privilege of photographing babies and families through some of life's most meaningful seasons.
My goal is to make the entire experience luxurious and enjoyable - easy, cared for, and beautifully taken care of from start to finish - while creating timeless portraits that preserve your family exactly as you are in this season.
The first step is scheduling a phone call so we can hear all about your family and discuss our portrait sessions. During this call, I will walk you through what you can expect, from the luxurious experience we provide to the beautiful, timeless portraits you'll receive. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, answer any questions you might have, and ensure that every detail is tailored to your unique needs and preferences.
1. Say Hello
2. custom Planning Consultation
The second step, after booking, is to schedule a planning consultation. During this session, we will discuss the colors and setups you envision, the products that will best complement your home, and how to come properly prepared for the session. This detailed consultation ensures that every aspect of your photo session is personalized to your taste and style, creating a cohesive and beautiful final product that you'll cherish forever.
3. The portrait Session
The third step is your portrait session, where we bring everything we’ve planned to life. I’ll guide you every step of the way - from posing and expressions to all the little details - so you can relax and enjoy the experience. My goal is to make everyone feel comfortable and cared for while creating beautiful, timeless portraits that capture your family exactly as you are in this season.
4. Viewing & Ordering appointment
The fourth step is the Viewing & Ordering Appointment. During this session, we will review your favorite images and select the perfect art pieces to display in your home. This is a collaborative and exciting process where you'll choose the portraits that bring you the most joy, ensuring that every time you see them, you'll smile and relive those precious moments.
5. Enjoy your artwork
The final step is receiving your beautiful images both digitally and as the exquisite art pieces we've created for you. Tangible art products add immense value and beauty to your portrait session, allowing you to cherish and display these precious memories throughout your home. From stunning wall art to elegant albums, you'll have a lasting reminder of this special time that you and your family can enjoy for generations.
As Featured In
Is it possible to have a perfect 5 star rating? With Chaya, YES! I had my apprehensions about how on earth anyone could get our twin babies to look as cute as the photos Chaya posted on her site. It had to be doctored up right? Wrong. I swear she's a baby-whisperer or something. We came for photos and we left with knowledge. The way she truly cared for our little ones was beyond measure. And when we saw the final product - even this guy teared up. What Chaya can do is unmatched. Her eye, the calmness about her - it made for an unforgettable experience - and who says that about a photo shoot? I would recommend her talent a million times over."

I cannot say enough how amazing Chaya was for our newborn and family photo session. She was calm, so professional and super patient! She knew exactly what to do, how position the baby etc. She followed everything we wanted and was very respectful with our decisions with what props to use etc. The pictures came out INCREDIBLE!!!! The hardest part was choosing them! I HIGHLY recommend CG photography. If there was a 10 star option I would click it :)"

Thank you so much Chaya! My husband and I had a lot of fun hanging with you all day and it was so incredible to watch you work your magic with Stevie (teach us your ways!). We were in total awe with each set up you put her in and will never figure out how you posed her in the ways that you did!"

Chaya is an incredible photographer and baby+toddler whisperer! Her studio is such a warm and welcoming place with an abundance of family friendly snacks, props, and beautiful backdrops. Not only are her portraits amazing but the whole experience seriously feels like a vacation after giving birth!"

Chaya is incredible. We used her services with our first child three years ago and went back when we had our second child two months ago. She is insanely talented and her pictures stand out when compared to anyone else’s. She’s easy to talk to, amazing with newborns and toddlers, and makes the whole process easy and fun. I would always pick her time and time again. She’s worth every penny. Thank you, Chaya!!"
