Your St. Simons Island, Jekyll Island and Brunswick Heirloom Photographer
The Heirloom Experience
A Southern Legacy, Continued Through Time
Walk through any cherished Southern home and you'll see them – those timeless portraits that tell your family's story. Each frame holds your grandmother's sweet childhood gaze, your mother's gentle smile, captured in classic heirloom style. Now it's your children's turn.
These portraits will grace your family's walls for generations. Your grandchildren will pause, look up at their parent's childhood portrait, and feel that same precious connection that makes your heart smile when you see your own family heirlooms.
In classic Southern style, we'll create your child's portrait with the same timeless elegance that has graced family homes for centuries.
Your Child's Chapter in Your Family's Story
I'm Candace, your St.Simons Island Heirloom Photographer
- The Tippett Family
I now have these gorgeous heirloom photos framed and hanging on my wall. And they make me happy every time I pass them. 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.”

Your Framing
Session day is here. First up is getting pampered by my MUA so you look your best. Next, we'll meet on location or at the studio and have the best time together - I assure you - LOTS of laughs!
Session
At our meeting, we'll discuss styling/wardrobe, locations and special requests. This is also the time to choose wardrobe for everyone in your family from the studio wardrobe (or your own closet).
Consultation
The very best part! I come install your beautiful custom framed portraits for you in your home. While you relax and spend that time with your babies. No need to wait on Dad to have time to do it! Our job isn't complete until your artwork is installed!
Installation & Delivery
You'll come back to the studio about 2 weeks after your session. This is when you'll see your final edited portraits and I'll walk you through the design process. By now, we've already discussed your artwork goals, so it's just a matter of choosing favorites and deciding what gets framed or what gets placed into a custom designed album.
