BAY AREA PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi, I’m Cheshta

Let’s Capture Your Beautiful Story Together

Welcome to my world of photography!

My journey behind the lens began as a creative escape when I moved to the Bay Area from India five years back. Facing the challenges of adapting to a new place, I finally picked up a camera—something I had wanted to do for ages. It came with both hesitation and excitement, but pursuing what I had always dreamed of felt incredible. What started as a simple passion quickly turned into something much deeper.

More About Me

Serving the Bay Area from Fremont, CA, I specialize in capturing the genuine moments of newborns, families, maternity, and couples in a timeless storytelling style. My passion is creating heartfelt images that preserve your most cherished memories for a lifetime.

CLIENTS TESTIMONIALS

Cheshta is an amazing photographer.


Cheshta is just an amazing photographer!! She took our family photo and the whole experience was outstanding. She created such a comfortable joyful atmosphere so that we didn’t have to pretend anything. We laughed, smiled and made jokes a lot thanks to her professionalism. My 2 years old daughter usually expresses serious face during the photos, but with Cheshta, she felt very comfortable, and she smiled a lot and being so natural.
