Hi! I'm Challis Landon,
Hi, I’m Challis (pronounced like Alice, with a Ch). I’m a Maryland-based family photographer and I’m married with two little kids of my own and one on the way!
If you’re looking for a photographer, this is how you know we’re a perfect match:
-You want photos that won’t cost an arm & a leg
-You want photos that are simple & natural
-You want someone with tons of experience with children & babies
-You want a professional photo session, but none of the stress or rigidity
-You want someone who is friendly, flexible, and understanding

PICK ME, PICK ME!!
Besides my photography experience, I also have several years of nannying experience and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have been called a “baby whisperer” on several occasions. I do my best to keep every session light and stress-free so we can capture the natural love & connection between your family.
I believe every family deserves to have good photos at least once a year. You’ll never experience this stage of life again. Let’s preserve it!
Message me anytime, let’s chat!

-I have 12 houseplants.
-Ice cream is my favorite food.

-One of my biggest fears was scuba diving, and my husband talked me into getting certified. I consider overcoming that fear one of my greatest accomplishments! Doing hard things is empowering.
