I love being a family photographer! Whether you are vacationing in St. Simons or Sea Island or local, we can always design just the right session and location to showcase your family.


My approach to family sessions can most closely be described as lifestyle.  While I do get a few portraits of everyone looking at the camera and smiling, I much prefer and spend most of my time documenting you being you.  With gentle guidance and suggestions, I work to bring out the best in your family and to capture memories that you will look back on many years from now and be instantly back in the moment we preserved. 

Selecting coordinating outfits for an entire family can be a daunting task.  When you book a session with CHP, I make choosing your wardrobe super simple.  My style is beautifully simple.  I offer an ever-expanding wardrobe for Mamas, babies children that is carefully curated and has beautiful options from places such as Free People, Anthropologie and Tuckernuck, to name a few.  Clothing comes in beautiful neutral and pastel tones as well as rich textures and fabrics.  Each session comes with a complimentary wardrobe consultation where I spend the time to go over it with you to find the right looks for your session.  For Dads, I am available to shop for you or to make clothing suggestions from what Dad already has in his closet.

Would you like to find out more about a lifestyle family session or are you ready to commission your own lifestyle session with CHP?  If so, please fill out the form HERE and I will be in touch soon.


“What a wonderful experience! I contacted Candace for family photos, based on a recommendation from our daughter’s friend, and now I’m happy to ditto that recommendation. She was delightful to work with and very understanding of what we wanted and how to accomplish it efficiently...not easy with a toddler, a baby and three dogs plus six adults! Her communication with me and our daughters was exceptional. Very professional and impressive. We all felt at ease from the start of the session, and even the dogs did great! We got sneak peeks right away, which was so surprising, and the entire gallery within 10 days. Wonderful pictures, wonderful experience. Thanks, Candace! We’ll see you again!”
