The Days Are Long but the Years Are Short

Atlanta Candid Family Photographer and Videographer for Natural, In-Home & Outdoor Sessions

Hey there! Welcome to my blog.

I don’t blog on a strict schedule, but I do share things here when I have something worth talking about—recent family photography sessions, behind-the-scenes glimpses, tips for planning a documentary photography session, and some of the everyday moments that make family photos meaningful. If you’re looking for something specific, you can browse the search drop-down menu. And if you’re here looking for an Atlanta family photographer or videographer, hopefully you’ll get a good feel for how I approach family photography: relaxed, honest, and focused on your real life rather than perfectly posed moments.

Capturing Moments Through candid family photography: A Year in Review and Looking Ahead to 2024

It was such a wonderful year for Chanda Williams Photography, and I am very grateful for every family whose life I got to take a peek into…This year really solidified my desire to work on long term projects with families. I adore the long-term relationships I've built with clients as we work together to tell their family story. When there is a trust a rapport already established, I'm able to slip into the moment and get beautiful and honest photos of family life
