FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where is CG Photography located?
Our state-of-the-art studio, thoughtfully designed with props sourced from around the world, is located in North Hollywood at 12040 Burbank Blvd, Los Angeles, CA. Conveniently close to both the 170 and 101 freeways, our studio is easily accessible from Los Angeles, Orange County, Ventura County, and surrounding cities.

What types of photo sessions do you offer?
We specialize in maternity, newborn, baby milestone, and family portraits. We also offer branding and professional headshot sessions for individuals and businesses.

What can I expect during a photo session?
From the moment you arrive, we take care of everything. You’ll be welcomed with refreshments, pampered with optional professional hair and makeup, and guided every step of the way. Chaya is known for her calm, patient, and warm presence—helping babies relax, toddlers cooperate, and parents feel confident and beautiful. Expect an enjoyable, stress-free experience where your only job is to enjoy the process while we create timeless images.

Do you provide props and outfits?
Yes! Our studio is fully stocked with curated backdrops, elegant props, and a beautifully designed wardrobe for moms, babies, and children. We’ll plan your session together in a personal design consultation, ensuring everything—from colors to textures—matches your vision.

When is the best time to book a newborn session?
Newborn sessions are best scheduled when your baby is between 9–14 days old. At this stage, babies are still wonderfully sleepy and flexible, which allows us to capture those sweet, curled-up poses. We recommend booking your session while you are still pregnant to ensure availability.

What if we miss the newborn stage?
No worries! Beautiful milestone sessions can be created at other stages too:

• 2–3 months: perfect for smiley, awake portraits
• 6–7 months: sitter stage, when babies are adorably interactive and curious
• 11–12 months: a wonderful time to celebrate their first birthday with a milestone or cake smash session

How long does a session usually last?
Custom Sessions: 2–4 hours, depending on the type of session. We only schedule one newborn session per day so that you and your baby get our full attention, without feeling rushed.

Mini Sessions: Shorter and more structured, typically held on designated days with back-to-back bookings.

Can I ask questions before booking?
Absolutely! Chaya loves connecting with families. Whether you have questions about the photography process—or even parenting tips—she’s always happy to chat.

How soon will I see my photos?
We’ll review your images together during a same-day viewing appointment or at a follow-up meeting (in-person or via Zoom). Once you place your order:

Digital images are delivered within 2–3 weeks

Custom artwork (albums, wall art, and heirloom pieces) arrives in 4–6 weeks, carefully crafted by artisans from around the world

Do you offer in-home sessions?
Yes! For families who prefer the comfort of home, Chaya can bring a curated selection of props and wardrobe pieces to you (additional fee applies).

What do clients say about CG Photography?

Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we provide flexible payment options to make investing in your portraits and artwork as seamless as possible.
