Real Life is the Best—Let’s tell the story of yours.
Because parenting is hard, it’s hilarious, and it’s gorgeous,
and when you blink your eyes, your babies will be grown.
Authentic Documentary Family Photographer in Atlanta…
Because this season of life you're in is beautiful just the way it is, and its only imperfection is how quickly it will pass you by.
There is just so much beauty in your every day, with no need for poses or styling.
You can't go back in time to relive these beautifully chaotic days, but you can remember and celebrate them through the photos and videos you pass down to the next generation.
Candid photos of your everday life…
Maternity, newborn, or family photography in your home or out in your world—I'm here to tell your story. Think of me as your family's dedicated storyteller, weaving together the milestones, the mundane, and the magical... a family photojournalist immersed in your everyday life over the years.
Real Life is the Best, and you’ll want to remember that this season was beautiful just the way it is.
“Documentary Family Photography”:
a photojournalistic style that captures a family's real life in an unscripted, unposed, and spontaneous way. The photographer acts as an observer, documenting the family's interactions, personalities, and relationships. The goal is to capture the reality of the family's life, including both the beauty and the chaos.
“The images she captured were absolutely stunning. We aren’t into cheesy posed and over-edited pictures, and Chanda’s work captured our life exactly as it is - messy, but more beautiful than we realized."
— Jessica, Kirkwood
“Photography is the art of making memories tangible” -Destin Sparks
“Chanda documented the vibe of our family perfectly, lifting up the sweetest moments and truest moments”
— Elizabeth, Virginia-Highlands
I See You.
The multitasker, the one who wears a million hats in one day and wants the most for your kids.
The one who always takes the picture but is rarely in the picture.
You have created a gorgeous family and your story deserves to be told. Let’s document the warmth, the love, and even the beautiful mess that makes your family unique—as a love letter to yourself, your kids, and your grandkids.
All you have to do is show up and invite me to be there.
I’m Chanda, a family photographer and filmmaker in Atlanta, near Decatur.
I make pictures and home movie videos for busy parents who know that time is moving along too quickly. With a stress-free and honest approach to documenting real life, I know that family photography can capture personalities and connections in a way that allows you to preserve the family memories you are making while also telling your family's unique story.
Let’s have a laid-back, fun photo or video session; just plan some quality time with your family, and I'll tag along to capture whatever unfolds. You’ll walk away with downloadable images and the option to preserve your photos in a gorgeous heirloom album or archival-quality prints.
I hope that we’ll work together over time to tell an even fuller story of your family as your babies grow up, whether that’s through one of the long-term projects I offer or just multiple sessions over the years.
I want to make art out of your life.

“Maternity, newborn, and everything since. Even when our son didn't want to participate, she captured our family beautifully. We get so much wonderful feedback whenever we share our photos. I no longer stress about photos, because I know she'll do an incredible job.”
