"Candice is the nicest & most professional photographer I have met! She worked with my 5 week old daughter to take newborn shots because we were in the hospital longer. She is amazing and she takes pride in personalizing the designs for every baby."
love notes from past clients
For the past 15 years, I’ve specialized in newborn, maternity, and even celebrity photography right here in Orange County.
I’ve photographed thousands of newborns, trained with the best in the industry, and now teach other photographers how to safely and beautifully capture these moments.
I’m fully insured, highly trained in newborn safety, and I’ve built a full-service studio where every detail is handled for you—styling, posing, custom wall art, even installation.
You just show up. I’ll take care of the rest.
I’m also a baby-obsessed, chai tea loving mom of two—and a three-time surrogate—who truly understands the beauty and chaos of early motherhood.
There’s nothing better than a fresh babe and helping parents remember just how special those first few weeks of life are.
Because you deserve more than just pretty photos.
You deserve an expert who gets it—and makes the experience simple, safe, and unforgettable.
Hey, I'm Candice.
About Candice
hey beautiful
It's a journey of so many moments to capture.
The sweet smell, sleepy grin, cheeks you just want to kiss endlessly, and tiny hands you never want to stop holding. It's breathtaking, and somehow you know it's going to pass by all to quickly.
With a blink of an eye it's 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, then 1 year. It's flown by and you have the keepsakes and memories to remind you of all the overwhelming joy that your newborn allowed you to experience. I'm here to capture those sweet moments in time.
