FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. When is the best time to schedule a newborn photography session?
The ideal time for a newborn session is within the first 10 to 14 days after birth. This period allows us to capture those peaceful, sleepy poses before your baby becomes more alert and active. However, if you miss this window, we also offer milestone sessions at 3, 6, and 9 months.
2. What makes CG Photography’s sessions luxurious and one of a kind?
Each session is carefully tailored to create a unique and elegant atmosphere, using premium props, gentle ambient lighting, and personalized setups. This attention to detail ensures your portraits are not only beautiful but truly exceptional and reflective of your baby’s personality.
3. How long does a typical newborn photography session last?
Newborn sessions generally last between 2 to 3 hours. This allows ample time for feeding, soothing, and carefully posing your baby to ensure their comfort and safety throughout the shoot.
4. Are the photo sessions safe for newborns?
Absolutely. Baby safety is our highest priority. We use gentle posing techniques and maintain a warm, calm environment to keep your newborn comfortable at all times during the session.
5. What should I bring to the session?
It’s helpful to bring your baby’s favorite blanket, a few comfort items, and any special outfits or props you’d like included. Otherwise, we provide all premium props and accessories needed to create your luxury portraits.
6. How soon after the session will I receive my photos?
Your expertly edited portraits will be delivered within 2 to 3 weeks after your session. We offer a variety of print and digital packages to suit your preferences, turning your newborn’s precious moments into beautiful heirlooms.
About Your Los Angeles Newborn 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 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!!"
