FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What types of family sessions does CG Photography offer?
CG Photography offers classic family portraits in the studio or on location, as well as legacy sessions for extended families who wish to capture multiple generations together. Each session is designed around your family’s unique personality, style, and story.
2. How long does a typical family photo session last?
Sessions are never rushed and aren’t strictly time-bound. On average, most family sessions last 60–90 minutes, but the length depends on what’s needed to capture the best possible portraits. The focus is always on quality, not the clock.
3. Can CG Photography accommodate large families or multi-generational portraits?
Yes. While CG Photography does not cover events, we do specialize in legacy sessions for large families. These sessions are carefully planned to capture the full group, as well as meaningful smaller combinations within the family, ensuring a complete set of portraits you’ll cherish for years.
4. What should families wear for the photo session?
We recommend coordinating colors that complement one another without being too matchy. Comfortable, timeless clothing that reflects your family’s style works best. Chaya will provide styling guidance beforehand to take the stress out of the planning and help you look and feel your best.
5. What happens after the photo session is complete?
After your session, you’ll return for a personalized viewing and ordering appointment. This is when you’ll see your gallery and select your favorites. CG Photography offers museum-grade prints, custom albums, and stunning wall art designed to fit seamlessly into your home.
6. How much does a family session cost, and how do we book?
Signature family sessions begin at $1,490 and include a full-service experience from planning through to heirloom-quality artwork. There are no mini sessions for families—each portrait experience is custom and designed to capture your family in the most meaningful way. To reserve your date, simply reach out to CG Photography, and Chaya will guide you through the process from start to finish.
About Your Los Angeles Family Photography Experience at 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!"

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!!"
