About me.

I've gone back and forth about adding an "about me" section to my website. I suppose it is important to learn a little more about the person who will be spending time with you making your family happy for important life milestones.

So, This is me.

Thank you friend! AdemontPhotography.com for the awesome headshot! You're my favorite photog. (Other than me! duh!) 

My name is Candice! I love roses (more than Sour Patch Kids) and I have stunning (and clearly fake) red hair. I grew up in Florida and LOVE (in an almost obsession way) Florida Gator Football and the smell of the ocean. I highly dislike walking on the beach, it makes my feet hurt. I am an only children raised by my father and I don’t think we have a single “family photo,” and that makes me kind of sad. I have five children. Five. Biological all took up residency in my stomach for 10 months— children. I am very good at getting stubborn littles to smile. If you met my #3 you would understand!!

#3. Seriosuly, smile beautiful! (I took this one!!)

Growing up, my dad loved the TV show, Walker Texas Ranger— and I still know the entire theme song (if you ask I will sing it for you, but know I can’t carry a tune) “In the eyes of ranger, the unsuspecting stranger…” When I was in middle school I was convinced I was going to go to Norte Dame. Unforeseeable circumstances landed me at the local college, and, in hindsight, Northern winters aren’t for me!! My life goal was a career in photojournalism for a prominent New York newspaper – but, seriously Northern winters! Then, I met my husband and Jacksonville, North Carolina called our names…(or maybe it was the Marine Corps

I don’t cook and I am grateful to my husband who can, but I can bake bread from scratch. My children all attend the local Catholic school – Remember Norte Dame dreams? I have since passed that dream to them. On Sunday mornings, you can find me “soaking up the grace” in the cry room, because I can’t hear Mass over my loud and fiercely independent toddler. One day… I will miss the cry room, just not today.

Now, I take portraits of families and weddings and I love every second of it. Okay… Maybe not ALL of it… I could do without the taxes portion. My goal is to make families happy. I am talkative and loving, and occasionally hyper —I make a huge mess in my studio because my brain works faster than my arms and legs but I WILL get the shot I want! I love to meet everyone I can, and can’t wait to see how 2016 goes!!

Seriously Autumn, you have a way of making me look fabulous.
