‘Whimsical Magazine, Tales Of Portraits... Whimsical Magazine is a new independent fortnightly publication aiming to highlight and sublimize portrait photography in all its forms, envisioned as a work of art. Additionally to awesome and unique editorial or commercial portraits, every issue will consist of interviews and articles spotlighting talents, from every part of the world, who will inspire every photography and image enthusiast and stimulate you to excel in your art, in order to make you live your passion more completely. Passion, creativity, emotion and audacity are our 4 watchwords. Chaya is the photographer behind the lens. Portraits by Chaya is the premier Connecticut photography studio that proudly serves New Haven, Hartford, and Litchfield Counties and surrounding areas including but not limited to Waterbury, Wolcott, Torrington, Watertown, Cheshire, Middlebury, and Danbury. Chaya specializes in creating vibrant custom fine art portraits. Whether you need practical and flattering headshots or bespoke family photos you’ll treasure for generations, you’ve come to the right place. Portraits by Chaya was born out of a dream and a passion for photography. ‘I am a people person and enjoy working with all of my clients, at every age and stage. I especially adore babies ; what could be more rewarding than working with these little ones to capture beautiful images?! I am creative by nature, have strong attention to detail, and love to work together with you creating that perfect timeless art of your loved ones for you to treasure for many years to come.’ Chaya has a Master’s degree in Speech and Communication and has worked primarily in public school settings for 10 years. This background has served me well, honing her communication skills with both adults and children alike. ‘Having an education in childhood development helps with planning photoshoots for the little ones appropriately as well as managing expectations for children of various ages throughout the photoshoot.’ Thus, Chaya has enjoyed portrait photography since her youth and is thrilled to be shooting professionally since 2019, servicing primarily Connecticut. ‘The days, months, and years go by too quickly. Children grow, milestones and achievements are met, and people pass on. Capturing the moments is so important, freezing time to be remembered for a lifetime.’ «Babies are amazing. They begin each day all warm and sleepy and smelling of promise.» Julia Robe
