CREATIVE Portrait Photographer

I'm CanDee—A Creative Portrait Photographer Who Loves Variety!
Photography has given me the opportunity to explore so many amazing stories through my lens. My background comes from fashion photography, where I learned to blend style, movement, and storytelling into my work.
The beauty of photography is its ability to fuel creativity, and before I know it, I’m on a runway—not in Paris, but at a local airport with a graduating senior who wants three things in his senior photos: his grandpa’s old convertible, his favorite guitar, and an airplane!
That’s what I love about portrait photography — it’s all about creating unique and meaningful images that reflect YOU!
FINDING ANOTHER PASSION AT THE ANIMAL SHELTER - PET PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography has also led me down unexpected but rewarding paths. When I volunteered at a local animal shelter. I saw firsthand how a simple photograph could change a pet’s life by helping them find a loving home. That experience sparked another passion of mine: capturing the bond between pets and their people. Whether it’s a playful pup, a regal cat, or a pet who’s been by your side for years, I’m dedicated to creating timeless portraits that celebrate their special place in your family.
MATERNITY TO LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY: A JOURNEY OF CONNECTIONS
Photography allows me to build lasting relationships with my clients. I did a maternity session for a sweet couple at the gardens, and the images turned out beautifully. When they welcomed their baby, they invited me into their home for a lifestyle newborn session. The natural light was perfect, and it was my first time doing an in-home session—but I instantly fell in love with the experience. Maternity and lifestyle photography have allowed me to capture some of life’s most precious moments, and my clients’ trust in me is something I truly cherish.
UNIQUE SENIOR SESSIONS: BRING YOUR VISION TO LIFE
Not every senior wants a traditional portrait session, and I love bringing creative visions to life. One senior I worked with had a unique style and wanted something moody and dramatic for her photos. After brainstorming, we chose an iconic historic cemetery as the backdrop, and the results were stunning—elegant, artistic, and perfectly suited to her personality. Senior sessions should feel authentic to you. I work closely with my clients to help bring their visions to life, creating something completely unique that showcases their personality and style.

So happy I stumbled upon I-CanDee Photography. My daughter had her first photo session as a novice in the modeling business. Words cannot express my true gratitude. CanDee was professional, patient, extremely knowledgeable, and fun! She took her time and provided helpful tips to my daughter to capture stunning photos. Not only was she our photographer for the day, she was a mentor and coach. Her photographs are magazine quality and her ability to draw the character out of her subject for a particular shot is something to behold. We will definitely be using CanDee for future projects. Thank you CanDee!

i-CanDee Photography did our firm's staff headshots and they were absolutely fantastic. She went the extra mile and provided an extremely high level of service. I would definitely recommend her corporate offerings. Based on her work, we have actually asked her to come back and update our website photography as well.

I had the best experience with I-Candee Photography. My daughter models and she took the most amazing photos. Some of the best she has taken so far in her career. She was very helpful with telling my daughter how to change her pose slightly to get the best look in the photograph. She took extra time to make sure that every photo was perfect before we moved on to the next one. She showed me many photos while she was taking them to make sure I was happy with the pose and look to make sure she had what we needed and we looking for. We loved working with her so much we scheduled another shoot 2 weeks later to get more photos, as working with her gave us many more ideas of what kind of looks we wanted to try for her portfolio. She does amazing work and I highly recommend using her for your photography needs.

CanDee shot our maternity photos back in December and my husband and I had the best time! She was so kind and told us exactly how to pose. We have only had professional photos done for our wedding and we didn’t feel super comfortable in front of the camera and CanDee made it so fun and a memorable experience. The photos are STUNNING and better than I had expected. You can tell how much love and time go into each shoot. Thank you CanDee for the beautiful photos. They will forever have a special place in our hearts. ❤️

I could not be more pleased with choosing i-CanDee Photography for my family photos. CanDee exceeded my expectations. After searching google we came across I-CanDee Photography and I fell in love with her work. She has an amazing eye for capturing breathtaking images in a natural setting. We reached out to her and she explained the whole process which was effortlessly. We chose the beautiful “Freedom Park” as our location. CanDee worked so well with my 3 young children. She went above and beyond trying to get my two younger ones to focus on the camera. We truly enjoyed meeting and working with CanDee. We will definitely refer her to our family and friends.
