what our clients are saying:

“We had some one year old portraits done earlier this year and they were so gorgeous I had to get my other children in for photos. I now have these gorgeous heirloom photos framed and hanging on my wall. And they make me happy every time I pass them. Thank you so much, Candace Hires, for making this process so seamless and fun. I didn't have to buy outfits or coordinate them or search for sizes or even get them dressed at home and then get all wrinkled on the way. Candace has an incredible wardrobe full of the most precious clothes for these portraits, and then she helps you pick out frames and mattes and all the confusing things that can keep us from ordering, framing, and hanging up photos. The best experience.”
