PHOTOGRAPHY PRICING.
“Chanda has photographed our family four times over six years, and I could write paragraphs about how much we adore her and how much I cherish the pictures she’s taken.”
Family Photography Just For You—With you in it.
Capturing your family’s story can be easy and authentic. Let’s make art out of your life, and keep it simple:
Digital images are always included for downloading. Archival-quality prints and albums are available, and I love to design albums for folks.
Photography pricing is based on the length of our session, no matter the type of session (maternity, newborn, family). Longer sessions allow for multiple activities and locations, resulting in more artful, candid photos.
Choose from one-time sessions or long-term projects that tell even more of your story.
Photography Sessions
-
My version of a mini session.
A short and sweet photo session to peek into your beautiful story through family photos.
We can head out into your world, or plan an activity to do within the comfort of your home.
Your front porch and yard are the perfect spot for this session, where we will get a few portraits and some gorgeous candids, too.
$795 (3 payments of $265)
-
A relaxed documentary session great for families looking to document a certain time of day, activity, or outing through authentic and artful candid photos.
It's perfect for documentary Newborn sessions at home to capture this special moment in your life, or families wanting a stress free approach to family photography.
This session typically lasts about two hours, and may last up to three hours.
$975 (3 payments of $325)

Being with your family longer means more natural moments and locations. It allows for genuine and spontaneous moments to unfold, and I have time to blend into your family dynamic and become a part of the background.
As everyone relaxes, the authentic connections within your family shine through, and I can tell the story of your day wherever it takes you (even if we never leave your house). Perfect for extended family sessions, too.
$1575 (3 payments of $525)

“My family has worked with Chanda twice and we absolutely LOVE her work! She takes photos that so perfectly capture our family. She makes it fun and easy and not awkward which is the best part! ”
ALBUMS + PRINTS.
Every photo session with me includes downloadable high-resolution images, and I offer a range of print and album options of the highest quality to help you create tangible art for your family that will last.
Albums are my favorite way of displaying my storytelling style of photography, and I am happy to design your album for you.
Let's turn your digital photos into beautiful albums that you can cherish and share with your loved ones, creating lasting reminders of the moments that matter most.
In today's digital age, it's all too easy for our precious memories to stay hidden away on hard drives. But there's something truly special about holding a photo in your hands or seeing it displayed on your wall. When your memories are tangible, they become a part of your everyday life, sparking joy and bringing moments back to life every time you see them.
FAQs.
-
There are a lot of variables to consider with this question, like the length of our session, how many people are involved, and how many different locations or activities are covered in our time together.
I rarely deliver less than 100 photos in a gallery, and I try hard not to deliver more than 200 photos.
-
Babies are on their own schedules, for sure. It’s still best to go ahead and get on my calendar before your baby is born, and we will adjust if needed. I ask that you just pick a weekday morning around your estimated due date, and when your baby is born we will check in and decide if we need to reschedule.
-
We don't have to use all of the time we set aside, and for longer sessions I won't be shooting every second. But the longer built in time allows for multiple locations plus a variety of moods--no need to sweat the tantrums because I'll be there for the calm, too.
The last thing I want is for anyone to feel rushed during our session. The best, most natural pictures are made when people are enjoying themselves and feel comfortable--even better when they forget I'm there.
-
The short answer is no.
The way that I want to document your family's story just isn't possible in a mini session...With that said, I sometimes run mini session specials (for Mother's Day, for example) and if you're interested be sure to sign up for the newsletter down below.
My Snapshot session is only an hour long, and this flies by when shooting in a documentary style.
-
Yes. My payment is structured as a built-in 3 payment plan, because I totally get that my work is an investment. The first payment is due to book your session, the second is due just before the session, and the third is due to access your edited photos. If you need a different plan, let’s talk.
-
My very favorite location is your home. Your home is such a big part of your story, and it's where everyone is the most comfortable.
I'm also happy to head out into your world to locations that are meaningful to you and your family, and part of your life. I don't scout locations looking for pretty sunsets. So you tell me where to meet you!
-
If we need to reschedule we will. I want you to love your photos, and if the plan was to be outside we will push it to another day.
-
I want to document your real life, so I want y'all wearing your real life clothes that you feel great in. I'd say avoid neon and giant logos that are distracting, but other than that, you do you.
-
I want to document your real life, regardless of lighting.
We want everyone to be happy, so that's often mornings but you know your family. If our session is outdoors or in public, then earlier might be better when less people are out and about.
But good moods trump pretty light any day of the week! For newborn sessions I recommend late mornings, as this seems to be a good time for many families with a new baby—but you know best.
-
Yep!
When you receive your on-line gallery it is connected to a shop with prints, framed prints and albums from professional labs.
Albums are my favorite, and I'm happy to help you decide on products and design your perfect album for you. You are free to print your photos anywhere, I just hope that you print them somewhere.
And yes, there is a difference between cheap prints and professional lab prints, especially when it comes to how long they will exist. Heirloom prints will last for generations.

Sure do!
I can’t think of a better gift for parents or grandparents, and I’m happy to mail or email you a gift certificate that you can give to your lucky loved one.
