Hi, I’m Candace and I am a portrait photographer based in Brooklyn, New York. My passion for maternity + family photography stems from my own joy of being a mother.

Celebrating the power and elegant strength and beauty of Motherhood is my super power! Recently, my own life reminded me just how vital these legacy portraits truly are. After taking time away to care for my parents and navigate the loss of my father, I have returned to the studio with an even deeper conviction: Life moves fast, but a portrait allows us to hold on forever.

I am honored to help you document your family’s life story with the grace and excellence it deserves.Our luxury portrait experience is curated to celebrate, empower and pamper the whole woman along her incredible journey and create a classic and timeless collection of your family’s life story.
