ABOUT CANDACE

The taunting due to my freckles, buck teeth, frizzy hair, chicken legs, & four eyes began when I was 8 & by the time I was in my late 20s, I was convinced I was ugly.

In 2009, everything changed. I had a makeover shoot & suddenly realized that I was beautiful. Eventually, I got into modeling & decided to use my skills on both sides of the camera to change others' lives.

For the past 15 years, my passion for fashion has profoundly shaped my photography.

I love transforming fleeting moments into timeless works of art, infusing every shot with a chic, editorial flair.

I'm genuinely thrilled to have the opportunity to capture your beauty & all the love that surrounds beautiful YOU.

From an early age, I was captivated by the world of fashion and the glossy allure of magazines, but felt ugly in comparison due to childhood bullying.

I had a makeover shoot & finally felt beautiful for the first time in my life.

I launched Beautiful You Studios to help other women feel beautiful.
