Newborn & Maternity Photographer Serving Chilliwack, BC

Chilliwack has its own strong roster of local photographers — which is exactly why families who come to us from Chilliwack tend to have a specific reason for making the drive: a studio experience built entirely around comfort, patience, and getting newborn photography right without rushing a single moment.

We’re based in Mission, roughly a half-hour from Chilliwack and Cultus Lake, and we welcome families from Chilliwack and Sardis for newborn, maternity, self-portrait, and family sessions throughout the year.

What Chilliwack Families Can Expect

Our studio is on a working farm property, so parking is genuinely easy — no navigating a tight commercial lot with a car seat and a diaper bag. Inside, sessions are unhurried by design. Newborn photographer Cecilia Benitez has 9+ years of experience working specifically with newborns, which means she reads baby cues, paces the session around feeding and soothing breaks, and never pushes for a pose baby isn’t ready for.

Benefits Chilliwack families mention most:

A private, controlled studio

consistent temperature, lighting, and safety equipment, all set up specifically for newborn posing.

Everything included

props, wraps, gowns, and backdrops are provided, so there’s nothing to bring except your family.

Frequently Asked Questions — Chilliwack Families

Expecting? Consider booking a maternity session before baby arrives to capture your pregnancy too.

Totally fair question. Some families prefer us specifically for the farm-property studio setting, the open parking, and Cecilia’s approach to newborn safety and pacing. If you’re weighing your options, we’re happy to talk through what a session with us looks like before you book.

Typically around 30 minutes depending on traffic — many Chilliwack clients treat the drive as part of a relaxed outing, especially when combining a session with a family day trip.

Yes — many families book their newborn session with us, then return around their baby’s first birthday for a cake smash session in the same studio.

Yes, though we always recommend booking as early as possible — ideally before birth — since the classic curled, sleepy newborn poses work best within the first two weeks. If your baby is older, reach out and we’ll plan a session that works for their age and personality.

Yes — our Self Portrait Kids sessions are a fun, low-pressure option for children 6 months and up, separate from a traditional posed family photoshoot.
