Newborn & Fresh 48 Photos

The first days with your baby are fleeting — but they deserve to be remembered in a timeless, authentic way. Our lifestyle newborn and Fresh 48 sessions are relaxed, baby-led, and held in the comfort of your home or hospital room. No stiff poses or studio lights — just natural, heartfelt images that capture your family’s unique story.

Sessions include pre-session planning, gentle styling guidance, and a private online gallery of beautifully edited images. Whether you choose a short and sweet mini session or a full signature experience, you’ll walk away with photographs that preserve the little details you never want to forget.

Meet Chaya 🫶🏽

Doula • Photographer • Mother • Storyteller
Blending heart-centered care with timeless photography for families across Northern Virginia.

🌿 Who am I?

I’m Chaya, founder of NoVa Birth & Wellness. I’ve supported families for nearly a decade as a doula, newborn care specialist, and photographer. My heart is in helping families feel cared for while capturing their most precious memories.

📸 Why photography?

Photography allows me to preserve the raw, beautiful details of your family’s journey — from your baby’s first breath to the quiet snuggles at home. I believe these moments deserve to be remembered as they truly are: natural, warm, and real.

👶 Can you ensure my baby's safety?

Absolutely. I’ve taken specialized trainings and became certified in newborn photography to ensure your baby’s comfort and safety during every session. My approach is baby-led, gentle, and designed so little ones remain happy and secure.

✨ What makes my approach unique?

My dual background as both a doula and photographer means I bring calm, nurturing presence as well as an artistic eye. I don’t just take pictures — I support, guide, and hold space while capturing your story.

💛 Life beyond work?

When I’m not with clients, I’m with my three kiddos — Genesis, Ajani, and Maia. They’re my inspiration and the reason I know just how fleeting these moments are. I also love creative projects, warm coffee, and quiet porch mornings.
