What to Expect from Your Portraits by Chaya Session

Knowing how your session works makes it easier to relax and look forward to your photographs. Here are answers to a few practical questions about the full-service experience.

Will We Be Rushed?

Full portrait sessions include unlimited time, with breaks for feeding, soothing, outfit changes, and children who need a moment to settle in. Petite and mini offerings have their own stated session lengths; we will confirm the details of the session you choose before booking.

How Will We Choose Our Photographs?

At your in-person reveal and ordering appointment, we look through your finished portraits together. I help you compare favorites, consider album layouts and wall-art sizes, and choose the images and products you would like to purchase.

Are Digital Images Available?

Yes. Digital files are included with purchased images. You will choose from a thoughtfully edited gallery rather than receive every frame captured during the session. You are welcome to begin with digital images in mind and explore artwork when you see your photographs.

What Help Is Available with Styling?

We plan a color palette, wardrobe, and setting around your family. The client closet, selected props, and custom details help bring those choices together. For newborn, maternity, baby, and family sessions, we will discuss the specific styling that suits your vision.

How Do We Discuss the Investment?

During your discovery call, we will talk through the session and current collection options so you understand how photographs and artwork are purchased. The reveal appointment is where you make your selections.
