Let me make your day!
Getting your photos taken should be a treat. It should be an event where you get to be your true self and a moment that grips at your heartstrings for years to come. I can help with that!
aloha!
I’m Candace, your special event Hair stylist and Photographer currently based in Oahu, Hawaii.
I’m so stoked to meet you! I’m here for all the mushy, gushy, beautiful moments, buuut also a sucker for the moments you don't think anyone is watching. After all….Thats when the magic happens.
Photography
I don’t want to sound clichÈ when I talk about photography but it means so much to me!
I love being there to get to know you and your loved ones. I love merging the dynamic of your personalities into the session.
Isn’t it sooo amazing to look back at your images and open the floodgates of feelings and memories you had in that very moment? I strive to deliver exactly THAT every time. It can be anything from one of the biggest days of your life, to just a moment you chose to press pause on.
LET GOOOO!! Get comfy in your skin! I’m gonna ask you to do some corny things. We’re gonna laugh (trust the process). YOU’RE perfect the way you are and the second you let go, BOOM MAGIC!
S.h.E. Portraits
we are so beautifully made. each with unique shapes and sizes. we should be capturing that beauty more often!
Why don’t we celebrate ourselves more often? I see a culture happening, a shift in that direction and I’m so here for it. You’ve pushed on, you’ve prevailed (You freakin’ Queen). Let me show you what I see when I look at you!
Let me be your girlfriend for the day. Hell, I’ll be your girlfriend forever! Let’s shed all the pressure of feeling like you have to perform and just hang out and laugh till our bellies hurt. You were made to shine. It’s just my job to capture a glimpse of it. We all need a Self-Healing Event at least once in our lives.
Event Hair Styling
I’m an 8 year licensed Cosmetologist..
I have trained with some of the leading companies in the world and with some of the leading stylists from those companies. Most of my advanced training took place in St. Louis, Missouri and Seattle, Washington. I chose to step away from the work I was doing behind the chair in a salon and really work on a special part of my craft that’s been so dear to my heart, all things styled hair. The braids, the beachy waves, the classic low bun, big boho curls and fish tails? I can’t wait to get my hands in it.
KIND WORDS
“You are aN incredible photographer and I’m so thankful and grateful that you were able to do our wedding photos! They are such a special part of our life and memories”

This was actually taken in the lobby of Bei Hotel in San Francisco. Oh, it gets good. Basically we were down in the lobby dressed in our best version of vintage rock star dancing and drinking yummy cocktails. Lol I just walked up to her like a creep and said. “Hi! You are beautiful and I think you should be my model for a couple minutes.” She laughed and said “sure!” Now we are instagram friends and I’m pretty sure she’s naming her first child after me (Joke) I mean if she wants to! Also, would you believe me if I told you she lives on a ranch in the middle of North Dakota?! She looks so city here but mannnnn she the coolest country girl! Heres to random pictures! Cheers
