It all begins when an expectant Mom (once in a while, it's actually Dad!) reaches out to find out about a newborn photographer in Baltimore. Chaya's friendliness and caring are evident throughout the whole process as she warmly guides the new parent through the process of selecting colors and styles that will complement their home and speak to their soul.

An hour ago, I suddenly went into labor with my third son. I can still feel myself grasping at the dashboard, as my husband drove towards the hospital at unmentionable speeds. My youngest son is now at the cusp of adulthood, as we prepare for his bar mitzvah. Only a few seconds ago, Dr. A. exclaimed, "It's a GIRL!" and handed me the prettiest little princess when I gave birth to my first daughter.
Chaya was amazing with my newborn. Super patient. She was also able to capture a rare moment where both my toddler and newborn were smiling at the same time in their photo, which was beyond perfect. She is a true artist who I highly recommend! I highly recommend Chaya, she is truly a baby whisperer!

Chaya is an absolute pleasure to work with. She took our first daughter’s newborn portraits in 2019, and we were so excited to work with her when we had our second.
Chaya was incredibly patient with our toddler (who wasn’t the most cooperative), and managed to get amazing photos with both girls. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with how they came out!

Chaya was incredible to work with and I’m so glad that we chose her to capture these beautiful moments. Our baby was very difficult and fussy, but she made it work! She is quick to respond and more than helpful and understanding. She really listens to what you want, and will do everything she can to capture a specific style or photograph that you may have in mind. I promise that you won’t be disappointed in picking her to capture these beautiful moments.

Chaya has now photographed both of my children. When she photographed my firstborn I thought she was a magician - soothing and posing my 3 week old. Three years passed and that three week old is now a spirited preschooler with a new sibling. Turns out Chaya's magic is not just newborns but toddlers!
My only complaint about Chaya is that she takes such beautiful photos that it is impossible to narrow down the choices and I just want them all!

Our experience with Chaya was wonderful from start to finish. She spent time to make sure no detail was overlooked when planning and executing our newborn session. She was open to my ideas about props and sentimental details I wanted to include. Her studio is beautiful, comfortable, and welcoming. I also greatly appreciated her idea to meet my toddler before the session to let her become a little more comfortable with the studio space and what/who she would see on the day of the session. We are so thankful for the experience and absolutely beautiful photographs of our family!

I treasure photos, they are a precious memory of a moment in time. And I had been dreaming of my newborn’s photos since I first learned we were pregnant (and for year’s before that, while she was just a hope). When I found Chaya’s website, I knew I found the person I could trust to deliver on this dream. And from the first moment I spoke with her on the phone, she confirmed my thoughts. She took the time to get to know me and my pregnancy story and made the booking process easy. We delivered a little early, and Chaya, fit us into her busy schedule. The photo shoot was nothing less than 5

Chaya is just fantastic!
She was so sweet and communicative leading up to our newborn photo shoot. The day of the shoot was so wonderful. Our whole family was so comfortable and Chaya is seriously a complete baby whisperer (and her assistant was the sweetest with our older son!).
Then at the end of this great day - we have the most beautiful pictures that capture so perfectly such a special time for our family.
I highly recommend Chaya to everyone!

Chaya is an excellent baby photographer! I contacted her at a time when my baby was “too old” for newborn pictures but Chaya did not turn us away. In fact she welcomed taking his pictures and called me the same day that I emailed her. We talked for awhile about the baby, ideas, and what to expect. She is a pleasant person to work with and values her craft. I would certainly use her again to capture baby’s moments!

Wow! What a wonderful experience. Chaya was amazing with my baby. She captured beautiful pictures. She was professional and patient. Her studio was well stocked with many colors and cute outfits and props. The final product was perfect. I would definitely recommend Chaya to others and come back again for future pictures.

Chaya Braun is a master of her craft! She is so amazing at working with newborns and has a great eye when it comes to posing, color, and overall composition. I’m so happy with the photos of my newborn baby! She artfully captures this precious, fleeting time in an infant’s life— 100% worth the price as you’re guaranteed to walk away with truly priceless keepsakes. You can trust Chaya to deliver!

Chaya did an amazing job with our daughter's newborn photo shoot! From the start it was great service, booking our session was easy and Chaya was great on making sure our session was really what we envisioned for the shoot. Chaya was very responsive and easy to get a hold of prior to and after our session. Her props and outfit options are adorable. She's been doing this for a bit and it shows and we couldn't be happier with the pictures we got. Very comfortable setting for a first time new mom. Highly recommend her!
