Client Testimonials

"My wife and I had the most wonderful experience with Chaya (Portraits By Chaya) for my newborn's photoshoot. Her expertise and gentle approach created a calming atmosphere, allowing my little one to be at ease. The resulting photos are beyond words, each frame captures the delicate innocence of my baby. Chaya (Portraits By Chaya) possesses an exceptional talent for lighting, composition, and capturing the best moments. The mini albums are my favorite. If you're looking to preserve the precious early days of your baby's life, I wholeheartedly recommend Chaya. Her newborn photography is a timeless investment that will fill your heart with joy for years to come."
