The Photography Experience

Unfortunately, I don’t offer RAW files. Memories by Candace is all about capturing your story through my creative vision. I pour my heart and soul into each photograph and carefully edit every image to create the finished style you see throughout my work.

The editing is part of the art and experience you’re hiring me for, so your final gallery will include the beautifully edited photographs that best tell your story.

I do! Every photograph is edited in my signature style, and I also include minor retouching when needed. I don’t mind doing more extensive retouching either, but if there is something specific you would like adjusted, please let me know during your session.

I can whiten teeth, soften skin, remove small distractions, fix stray hairs, and make other natural adjustments while still keeping you looking like you.

The number of final photographs depends on your session length and the collection you choose. For my luxe packages, you’ll receive every final edited image.

On average, I deliver about one photograph per minute of shooting, although every session flows differently. Larger family groupings may take more time to pose, toddlers may need breaks, and outfit or location changes can affect the pace.

Every session is different, and that’s what I love about this work. My goal is always to tell your story in the most genuine and beautiful way possible, not simply hit a specific number. Quality over quantity, always.

I want you squealing with excitement over the memories we created as soon as possible! Your full photography gallery is typically delivered within two weeks or less. During my busiest season, delivery can take up to three weeks.

If you simply cannot wait, you’ll also have the option during booking to purchase rush editing for an additional fee, which delivers your gallery within 48 hours after your session.

A 50% retainer is required to reserve your date and officially place your session on my calendar. The remaining balance is due on the day of your photography session.

Weddings are the exception and may be eligible for a payment plan depending on how far in advance your wedding date is booked.

Your retainer reserves that date specifically for you, which means I turn away other photography opportunities once you are officially booked.

Good news! My scheduling software offers payment options through Klarna. If Klarna isn’t an option for you, reach out and I’ll gladly talk with you about other payment arrangements when possible.

Absolutely! Whether it’s helping you choose outfit colors that work beautifully with your location, deciding where we should photograph, or working through wedding timeline details, I’m here to help.

Every booked session receives a guide from me first, and I’m always happy to answer questions, offer suggestions, or help you work through anything you’re unsure about before your session.

As far out as you want! One of the perks of being a full-time photographer is that my schedule revolves around my clients.

If you already know you want a particular date, season, or milestone photographed, booking early is always a good idea so you have the best selection of available dates.

Heck ya! Traveling is actually one of my favorite things to do, so if you want me to come to your area, let’s talk.

Travel fees may apply for photography sessions outside the Phoenix area depending on the location and travel required.

I do! In addition to photography, I offer video options for clients who want even more of their story preserved.

Take a look at the Photo + Video section in my main menu to explore those offerings.
