Welcome!

My name is Candice! I am a wife and mother. Since my early days in college, I have always been the person to have a camera nearby to capture random moments. I had the film (or a disposable camera!) ready and loaded to take pictures of pranks we played or my roommates and I dolled up for a party. It was not until after my daughter was born in 2007 that I wanted to take picture taking to the next level. I wanted to learn how to turn my pictures into artistic memories. On Mother’s Day of 2008, my husband surprised me with a brand new shiny Canon DSLR. Photography quickly became an obsession and passion!

HOT!

A 100+ degree day and a fierce bride-to-be makes for one HOT session.  In the early planning stages of this session, I was contacted by a bridesmaid of the bride.  She explained that the bride-to-be did not want bridal portraits and the bridal party felt like that was an absolutely crazy idea.  So, what does the bridesmaids do, arrange it themselves!  During bridal sessions, not only are you able to capture you in your gown, bridal portraits are often use as a test run for everything...hair, makeup, flowers.... If you aren't so excited about the bold lip your makeup artist gave you, you will know to tone it down for your wedding day!

The day prior to this session a bad storm swept through the Richmond area.  I had booked a beautiful location for the bride.  The morning of the session I realized just how bad the storm the night before was. There were several reports of trees down and power outages! Well, the location I had booked, did not have electric.  The bride needed the space to change into although we would be using the grounds and we couldn't use the building provided with no electric.  Check out this awesome location the bridesmaid arranged! The folks here were so accommodating and understanding.

I must say... She looked pretty HOT!  



...she sure did bring the fierceness for someone who did not want a bridal session...






..she loved this nontraditional shot...

..and a few details I grabbed..
