Welcome


I'm Here to tell your story through timeless,heartfelt imagery

Hello, I’m Graciela — the heart and lens behind Chelaa Photography.

I’m a Northern California portrait photographer serving Sacramento and Lake County, specializing in seniors, couples and families with a warm, timeless style. My goal is simple: to help you feel confident, seen, and celebrated — while creating images you’ll be proud to cherish and pass down for generations.


My approach is relaxed and intentional allowing moments to unfold naturally while gently guiding when needed. Whether I'm photographing seniors, couples or lifestyles portraits, my goal is to create images that feel effortless and honest photographs that don't just capture how it looked, but how it felt.
