About
I'm a mom and a newborn and family photographer, and for close to ten years I've had the privilege of capturing some of the most meaningful moments in people's lives.
Her story, in her words
Chana Mirel grew up minutes from the famous CN Tower, in the land of the best maple syrup, Toronto, Canada. In 2008, she moved alongside her husband to Baltimore, MD where she resides with her twin daughters and son.
From a young age, she had an admiration for photography. She has trained in workshops focusing on Newborn and Family Photography with world famous photographers as well apprenticed side by side with a few seasoned photographers.
Why I do this
My love for photography really comes from my love for children. I've always been drawn to their innocence, their tiny details, and the way every stage passes so quickly. I know how much these moments mean, and how easily they can slip by.
That's why I care so much about what I do.
My approach
Whether I'm photographing a brand new baby, a giggly toddler, or a full family session, my goal is always the same: to create a calm, comfortable experience where you can just be present, while I take care of capturing it all.
I understand how to work with babies. I'm patient with little ones. And I know that sometimes things don't go perfectly, and that's okay. Some of the most beautiful images come from those in-between moments.
The promise
More than anything, I want you to walk away not just with beautiful photos, but with memories you'll actually feel when you look back at them years from now.
Because these are the moments that matter most.
