About the experience
This season of life is full of fleeting moments—the tiny yawns, soft snuggles, chubby fingers, and wild giggles you wish you could bottle up forever. My light and airy photography style is all about slowing down and capturing the love, connection, and quiet magic of your every day—so you can hold onto it, always.
Because these early
days deserve to be remembered, not rushed.

More About Me
I believe that the little things are actually the big things. Like the way your newborn curls into your chest or the wild joy of chasing your toddler through a sunlit field. I’ve been where you are, exhausted, emotional, completely in love, and I know just how quickly this season passes. That’s why I approach every session with patience, warmth, and a gentle presence, so you and your babies feel safe, seen, and completely yourselves.

We booked the Milestone Collection, and I’m so glad we did. Watching our baby grow through Candace’s lens has been one of the most meaningful parts of our first year as parents. Every session felt calm and natural, and the photos bring me right back to those sweet stages I never want to forget.
I am so thankful that we found Candace!

Candace made us feel so at ease, even when our baby was fussy and our toddler wasn’t having it. The photos honestly brought me to tears. They feel like a love letter to our family.

I was worried my toddler wouldn’t sit still for a single photo, but Candace met us with so much patience and grace. She captured our family in such a natural, loving way—no forced smiles or awkward posing. Just us, being ourselves. And somehow, she made it all look like magic.
Thank you for capturing us so authentically!

Candace has such a gentle presence. From the moment she stepped into our home, I felt at ease. Our newborn session didn’t feel like a ‘photoshoot’. it felt like a quiet morning at home, just with someone there to capture all the little details we never want to forget.
We can't thank her enough for her beautiful work.
