You can expect a relaxed, enjoyable experience from start to finish. My goal is to create an environment where both children and adults feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely enjoy the session.
I guide throughout the session while keeping things light and engaging, especially for little ones (yes, the famous duck call still makes an appearance). Sessions are never rushed, and great care is taken with every gallery I deliver — from the experience itself to the final images.
Turnaround time varies slightly depending on the season and current workload, but galleries are edited in the order sessions are photographed.
Clients can expect their gallery within 7–14 business days. For those needing images sooner, a Rush Editing option is available for an additional fee and must be selected in advance. Availability is limited and not guaranteed during peak seasons.
Once your gallery is complete, your images will be delivered via a private online gallery. You’ll receive a link along with a download PIN, sent by email (or text upon request).
Clients are encouraged to download and safely store their images once received. Galleries are not stored indefinitely, and a re-upload fee applies after 3 months if access is needed again.
Yes! Professional prints and products can be ordered directly through your online gallery for convenience and quality assurance.
Custom albums are also available. Please reach out for current pricing and details.
Printing through me is optional, but strongly recommended. Ordering directly from your gallery ensures professional-quality prints with accurate color and finish.
If you choose to print elsewhere, results may vary depending on the lab used. For the best outcome outside the gallery, professional labs such as MPIX Pro are recommended.
Session length varies depending on the type of session and natural factors such as weather, lighting, and children’s needs.
Full sessions are not rushed, and I photograph until I have what’s needed to deliver a complete gallery.
Holiday sessions, however, have a strict time limit and are scheduled back-to-back.
I completely understand — little ones get sick, and it happens often. If your child isn’t feeling well, please notify me as soon as possible and we will reschedule.
My priority is always your child’s comfort and ensuring the best possible experience.
Weather is monitored closely leading up to outdoor sessions. Being in Miami, brief rain showers are common and often pass quickly.
If conditions are not ideal or if you prefer not to proceed, rescheduling is always an option. Final decisions are typically made close to the session time.
Image delivery depends on the session type and package selected.
For Classic and Deluxe sessions, all of the best images from your session are fully edited and delivered. I don’t limit or count images — I photograph organically and focus on capturing a complete, beautiful gallery rather than a specific number.
For Petite sessions, a set number of edited images is included (typically 10–20 images, depending on the session type), with the option to purchase additional images if desired.
My goal is always to deliver a thoughtful, well-rounded gallery that reflects the full experience of your session.
If you have a specific location in mind, I’m happy to photograph there. If you’re unsure, I can recommend a variety of locations that photograph beautifully and align with your session style.
Location guidance is always part of the planning process.
Once a date and time are opened and the booking link is sent, the time slot is held for 24 hours. If the retainer is not paid within that window, the date will be released and may become available to other clients.
Dates are not guaranteed until the retainer is received.
To allow time for proper planning and preparation:
• Standard sessions require a minimum of 7 days notice.
• Cake Smash sessions require a minimum of 14 days notice to allow time for custom set design and cake coordination.
Sessions booked within these timeframes may be limited to in-studio sets and available props.
Yes. A non-refundable retainer is required to officially secure your date and time. Your session is not added to the calendar until the retainer has been received. Dates are first-come, first-served.
Sessions begin promptly at the scheduled time. Please plan to arrive a few minutes early to ensure you are ready to start on time.
If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, a late fee of $80 will apply.
If you arrive more than 30 minutes late, the session will be canceled and a new retainer will be required to reschedule.
Session end times will not be extended due to late arrival in order to respect other clients scheduled that day.
Each session is designed around the individual or immediate family listed at the time of booking. If you would like to include additional family members, please let me know in advance so we can adjust accordingly. Unplanned additions on the day of your session may not be accommodated.
Rescheduling requests must be made in advance and are subject to availability. Your retainer secures your reserved time and is non-refundable. If you need to reschedule due to illness or emergency, please reach out as soon as possible and we will review available options.
Your online gallery will remain active for 60 days from the delivery date. After that time, it may be removed to make space for new sessions. A gallery retrieval fee applies if reactivation is requested.
Yes. Standard turnaround time is 7–14 business days.
If you need your gallery sooner, the following rush editing options are available:
• 3 Business Day Turnaround – $125
• 48 Business Hour Express Rush – $175
Rush editing must be requested in advance and is subject to availability.
Sessions take place in studio or at pre-selected outdoor locations. Travel outside of my standard service area (25 Miles) may be available and is subject to a travel fee. Please inquire for details.

"I have been using Candy since my daughter was born and she is now 7. Her pictures are beautiful. You can tell she enjoys what she does and has a way with kids. Even made my husband smile in pictures and he doesn't do that often. I highly recommend her."

"Candy is simply amazing! She goes above and beyond in every shoot. I toss her ideas and she brings them to life. I love her spunk, her trigger finger, & her edits! Never have I been disappointed in her work but I'm sure if I ever do she would do everything in her will to make me happy again. It's just her nature to do extra! Her turn-around time is decent but she has always provided the pics waaaaay ahead of the estimated time. Her way with kids is absolutely great!"

"Candy was amazing! She was able to accommodate the date and time on short notice. Her studio is gorgeous and lends itself to a wide range of photo opportunities. We did the Christmas Minis as well as my baby’s one year old pictures - the set looked like it came right out of the Toy Story movie. I even requested breast feeding pictures during the shoot, which she accommodated to without hesitation. I can’t recommend her enough - she’s sweet and friendly, professional, and her work speaks for itself! ♥️"
