Your Photos Don’t Match the Depth of Your Work

Your brand photos shouldn’t look like everyone else’s.


✨ Boring headshots don’t sell transformation.


✨ Inauthentic images repel aligned clients.


✨ Your impact deserves more than a cookie-cutter shoot.

When your visuals don’t match the caliber of your work, you're missing the most important part of connection.

STEP 1:

THE CALL

The first step in any good photo experience is connection. We'll talk vision, brand goals, and what makes you magnetic. Defining all the details of how you want to be seen!

The Plan

STEP 2:

THE ALCHEMY

It’s more than just a photoshoot. From wardrobe to locations, we’ll design a shoot that tells your true story.

STEP 3:

THE REVEAL

After the shoot, it’s time to show you the magic we created. We meet in person or virtually to help you choose the exact right photos for what you need to show up!

This is for Leaders, Creatives, Rebels, and Change-Makers

You’ve never been one to play it safe. You’re building something that matters, and you need photos that match your vision and magnetize more ideal clients. Whether you’re launching, scaling, or pivoting, your content should match your momentum.

What Clients Are Saying

  • Carolyn Smyth

    Loved working with Candace! I had 4 shoots with her and honestly having less than that would have been a bummer because having the variety has been so helpful! Each represented a different season of my life and I’m able to pull from each shoot depending on what my needs are in business. I have had such great feedback from the photos, Candace really helped capture my full essence and what I stand for.

  • Lianne Marie Dobbs

    Candace is gifted with a perspective of the energy that we attract, and the energy that we are attracted to! I love how we meandered around my favorite places without a precise “plan” - there was always a vision for her, and she was supporting me in our shoot in my favorite park. It was SO freeing! Her calm energy and spontaneous artistic eye lead to a very special photography experience for us both.

  • Jen Morris

    Candace photographed a gala I chaired, and the photos are incredible. It was a large event with a lot of moving pieces and she truly captured all of the moments, deftly navigating varying lighting, windows, stage moments and more. She was a true professional and a pleasure to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for events, headshots or branding. Her work is truly stunning.

  • Therese Skelly

    I loved my photo sessions with Candace! She's so good at holding space, pushing you (gently!) to show more of your essence in the brilliant photos she takes. I felt so supported, and the images she created are fantastic. I get so many compliments on the photos she took with me, and proudly display them on my website and social media. She's fun, caring, a great listener, and I know you will get amazing photos when you work with her.

Your presence deserves to be seen, felt, and remembered.
