my story
Hello!
​
In case you're wondering, I pronounce my name CH (like cherry) ANDA (like panda)
Yes kids called me Chanda Panda.
​
An Atlanta native, I am the Mother of two really cool humans who are growing up too quickly, plus a dog who thinks she's a human.
​
I'm married to my best friend, and we've made a lovely life together in our old Atlanta bungalow.
​
I'm an introvert who loves books, podcasts, baseball and ice cream; stories make me happy. Community and social justice are essential to me. Interesting light makes my heart sing.
​
In Boston I studied photojournalism, and after returning to Atlanta and having my own kids, I was drawn to documenting Motherhood and Childhood in a beautiful, authentic and honest way.
​
I became a Doula because I believe that birth matters. I am thrilled to be part of The Birth Story Collective; check us out if you are looking for Doula and/or birth photography!
Oh, and...
I know you're busy, and the thought of being in front of a camera might not be your vision of an ideal Saturday.
​
I also know that your children are the light of your life, and that time is flying by.
​
Your family and home are perfect because of the love you have created, not because it is Pinterest worthy.
Let's relax, and document your beautiful mess!
