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!
