An Atlanta Collective Of Birth Photographers & Filmmakers

“Bottom line up front, THE BIRTH COLLECTIVE IS TE BEST OF THE BEST! I have been blessed to have had two experiences with Chanda of the Birth Collective and her talent is priceless. She is responsive, professional, and invisible. I mention invisible because she has a way of capturing everything somehow without being noticed! This is important during something as intimate as birthing. She has an eye for details that I and my family will be able to cherish for decades to come. The entire collective was warm and had true listening ears when we met prior to the 'big event'. This made me comfortable and confident that IF Chanda had somehow been unable to attend my birth the other two would be able to step right in and carry on. My daughter loves to watch her birth story and i am certain that my newborn will be the same. There is no price that I can attach to what Chanda has preserved for our family. The memories that may have otherwise been forgotten or mised (my mind was on birthing and i missed a couple of things during the process! Lol) have been captured in a way that really tells a story. And did I mention that Chanda is a doula as well?! That gives her a certain edge of understanding the process of birthing and allows her to anticipate what may be coming as the processes continues. This service is a genuine gift for anyone! I, without hesitation, HIGHLY recommend the Birth Collective.”

Some of our favorite pictures were of the small details: a tissue in a joyful grandmother's hand, a father's hands in his pockets as he waits anxiously, or a baby's tiny toes spread out while being held.  Brittany has created a product for us that we will cherish forever.  One day in the future, when we show our daughters these photographs, they will clearly see how much their birth was anticipated and how abundantly they are loved.  Thank you!”

Chanda came to the hospital to capture our first moments as a family of four.  Chanda was a great communicator and coordinating things with her was a breeze even when our daughter ended up in the NICU for the first 24 hours. She patiently waited for us to have her in our room and for the right time for our oldest daughter to be able to come meet her baby sister. Chanda put us at ease and made me forget the awkwardness of being photographed shortly after major surgery when so many things are going on. I felt comfortable and relaxed and we now have such lovely photos and a beautiful video to remember this time. We cry every time we watch it and it is something that we will cherish forever.

Claire came to our home a couple of weeks after our daughter was born and was great at coordinating things when the weather was dreary to make sure the lighting was right for the photos. She was patient with our four year old and made us all feel relaxed. The photos are lovely and we hope to have many more family sessions with her as our girls grow.”

 We cannot express what it means to have these images and also to have had you by our side on this special day! While I wasn't sure if we needed/wanted a doula for our birth, it was 100% the best decision we could have made considering how things went when Ben was born.  It made all the difference having someone with me providing support while Brett headed to the NICU with baby Ben.  Thank you so much again and will definitely be recommending you(the whole team) to all my friends having babies! 

"Even though my birth didn't end as originally expected, I couldn't have imagined it without you there documenting the journey.Thank you for your dedication and your amazing talent!"

"I agree with Erin! You were so wonderful. I felt like you were a part of our family by the end of the many hours you spent with us! I will forever be grateful for all the time, beautiful photos and the video you took! You definitely have a wonderful talent."

"Amazing. The photos-Chanda's energy-the support in my birthing time. I cannot say enough wonderful words about having Chanda participate in such an important day."
