Get answers to FAQs about Your Portrait Experience With CG Photography

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!"

We watched her work with our newborn, she was very gentle and patient as my little one didn't want to go to sleep for some of the poses. Chaya had the tricks to finally was able to put my baby to sleep and capture amazing moments. She is the baby whisperer!"

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!"
-Rikel J.

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!!"
