Get to Know Me

Photographer, Wife, Mom of 2, and chocolate chip cookie lover!

I'm Candace

hey!

I grew up as the middle child sandwiched between four brothers. (I know, it’s a miracle I survived! 😉 ) So selfishly, I get really excited when one of them pops the question because it means I get a new sister! Seriously, acquiring awesome sister-in-laws has been one of many highlights of my adult life. 🙂 

My brother Jacob and his wife, Ansalee, planned their wedding for early summer at the Mount Timpanogos Temple, so I took their bridals two weeks before. (I’m always in favor of scheduling a bridal or formal session a bit before the actual wedding to ensure the couple gets the photos they want away from the wedding stress.) 

We all got up early to catch that beautiful morning light coming over Mahogany Mountain. As soon as I started snapping, I loved the pop of color in the flower beds and the soft green of the trees. And of course the couple was STUNNING! Because it was so early, we yawned a lot and it was chilly in the shade (Ansalee put on a fuzzy teal jacket between poses to combat the goosebumps!), but these gorgeous shots were worth the early morning for all of us! 

I loved capturing these moments of love in the midst of their wedding-planning chaos, and I am so excited to see what the future holds for Jacob and Ansalee! Congrats!

I will never use another photographer ever again. We get our pictures from her every year and I always get compliments on them, followed by being asked who does them. She is great with our kids getting them to smile and laugh. She’s just amazing and I’m obsessed with her work!!! I gawk at her pictures all year until it’s time to redo them. 10/10 recommend Candace for your photography needs!!

"Candace is the top of the line. She’s professional, kind, & flexible."

"Our experience with Candace could not have been better!"

She was patient, easy going, and engaging with the grandkids and the adults. She has such an eye for locations and what makes a good background for the photos. She has taken our family photos for a couple of years in a row, and she did our daughter’s bridals and wedding photos. She is very reliable and professional and at the same time easy to work with! I totally recommend her!

"10/10 would recommend!"

Candace did our engagement and bridal pictures and they are stunning!! Our pictures were bright and beautiful and came in such a great quality! I’m not 100% comfortable in front of a camera but she made it a breeze and had tons helpful tips while also having a fun time. 100/10 would recommend 🤗

"She makes everyone feel at ease and comfortable..."

Candace has taken my family’s pictures the last two years. I can not recommend her enough. She does such a good job. She makes everyone feel at ease and comfortable even those who don’t like being photographed (husband!). I have four young children and after family pictures am usually left wondering if any pictures will turn out because my kids are crazy. I am always blown away by how the pictures turn out. They are so good! She does a great job at capturing posed pictures as well as several candid family interaction photos as well. Definitely will continue to use her in the future and recommend her to anyone needing a photographer 😊

"...we could not be more pleased with how the pictures turned out."

Candace is our family photographer and we LOVE her and her work! We schedule shoots with her every year and they are aways so good! She makes us feel comfortable, she always knows the best shoot locations, she works quickly, is awesome with kids and families and has an quick turn around time. I was extra impressed with how many quality images we received from our mini session. She even traveled to take family pictures at our family reunion. Our family is LARGE and we could not be more pleased with how the pictures turned out. Thanks, Candace!

"Candace was a dream to work with!"

Candace was a dream to work with! She learned every child’s name while working with them and made each one feel so special. Not only was our experience great, but the photos are so beautiful and we love each one of them! She captured us so perfectly!

"Would recommend 100%!"

"We love having Candace take our family pictures! She's done them for us for the last 3 years and we have gotten some real gems. She's great with kids, too. Would recommend 100%."

"I'm so happy we chose her"

Candace did an AMAZING job doing the engagement photos for me and my fiancé. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and made us look even better. Her editing style is airy and beautiful, and I’m so happy we chose her. Definitely recommending to friends!
