I’m Candace, a fine art photographer dedicated to providing an luxury experience. From the moment you book your session, you’ll receive personalized attention that makes you feel valued and understood. Imagine walking into your session, where every detail has been thoughtfully considered to ensure your comfort and joy.
I will guide you with care and attention at every step. Once your beautiful photographs are ready, I’ll handle everything from elegant presentations to the final installation of your cherished artwork in your home.
My commitment is to ensure that you not only receive stunning images but also feel supported and celebrated throughout the entire process, creating lasting memories that truly reflect the love and joy of your family.
Working full-time as a Registered Nurse, healthcare become more and more "corporate" and I was less and less happy. I had a family now and had started photographing my own children and was quickly falling in love again with the camera. As they say, the rest is history.
I was chasing all the latest photography trends that I saw everyone else doing. Newborn in a bucket? Yep. Naked newborn in parent's arms? Yep. Ugh.
The quality of my work was good, but I just didn't fee IN LOVE with it. And if you don't love what you do, then...
In 2020, after 25 years of working as an RN I took a leap of faith and stepped away from my first passion for good, and I haven't looked back.
As a Nurse, my job was to take care of and advocate for, my patients. Now, I've taken that same experience and drive, to take care and advocate for my clients.
While I’m not the girl who will drop some serious cash on the latest “it” purse, I'm utterly enchanted by travel and making memories in breathtaking locations and I don’t care how much it costs. My first international trip was to London in 2019, and I've eagerly sought out excuses to cross the pond ever since. I'd welcome any destination recommendations you'd like to share!
Now, clients like you commission me for sessions that are full of soft colors, simply posed, where your family is the art. Classic and timeless portraits that last generations through when printed into the highest quality framed wall art and custom heirloom albums.

"I had the most incredible experience with Candace Hires Photography for our newborn session. From the moment I walked in, my husband and I felt like a VIP. The hair and makeup artist made me feel gorgeous after sleepless nights and spit up, the design session allowed me to know what to expect and for Candace to customize the shoot, and the overall customer experience was amazing and I could not recommend her enough to new moms! Candace’s attention to detail, experience working with newborns and artistic vision truly shine through in her work. I couldn't be happier with the beautiful memories she captured. If you're looking for a top-tier photography experience, Candace Hires is the one to choose!."
