Candid Family Photos of Your Everyday Life

There is incredible beauty in your everyday, with no need for poses or styling. This season of life is beautiful just the way it is, and it’s only flaw is how quickly it passes. We can't go back in time to relive these beautifully chaotic days. But we can remember and celebrate them through photos and videos that we pass down to the next generation.

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…Like a family photojournalist who is immersed within your everyday life.  

 Real Life is the Best.

“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."

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.

Remember that this season was beautiful.

I’m Chanda, a family photographer and film maker 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.

My hope is 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.”
