about

Balestrand

charles+camera is about capturing my world and yours.  i love the emotion and beauty inherent in things from the most simple to the most important days and places in people’s lives.  this site will highlight the work i’ve done and give you a feel for what i can do for you.  i prefer observing to directing, and in the perfect world, i am seamlessly integrated into your event, capturing it as you remember it.  my goal is real emotion, not artifice.

as to who i am….my name is charles breland.  i grew up in alabama and am currently living in midtown atlanta.  i fell in love with photography a few years ago and enjoyed making it a part of my travels.  in the years since, i’ve developed a passion for portraits and weddings, doing my best in both to capture who you are, not my imagined view of what a baby should look like or what a wedding should be.  i hope you enjoy the results of that quest.

please reach out to me via the contact page if you’re interested in wedding photography, baby portraits, family portraits or engagement sessions in the atlanta area. thanks!
