Your motherhood journey starts here
We'll begin with a phone call to hear your ideas and plan the look of your maternity portraits. I'll help with wardrobe and styling, then guide your poses throughout the session.
Afterward, we'll choose your favorite photographs and the digital portraits, albums or wall art that suit your family. Planning newborn portraits too? We can discuss both sessions during your consultation. For timing and preparation, explore the maternity FAQs below.
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.

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.

SAY HELLO
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!!"
