my story
Hello!
​
I'm so glad you found your way here. A few things about me:
​
-
I pronounce my name CH (like cherry) ANDA (like panda)...Yes kids called me Chanda Panda.
​
-
An Atlanta native, I'm married to my best friend, and we've made a lovely life together in our old Atlanta bungalow. We have two really cool humans who are growing up too quickly, plus a dog who thinks she's a human.
​
-
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.
​
-
I studied photojournalism, and after returning to Atlanta and having my own kids I was drawn to documenting Motherhood and Childhood in a beautiful and authentic and honest way.
​
-
I'm also a Doula and Birth Photographer because I believe that birth matters. Check out The Birth Story Collective if you are looking for a Doula and/or birth photographer!
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!
