Client Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I can't say enough good things about Candice and her wonderful team. From booking our session to the photo shoot and receiving our museum-quality artwork, our expectations were constantly exceeded! Everything about our experience was fantastic.

The studio is warm and welcoming, and the team is easy to work with and professional. Candice is a fabulous talent who made us—and our fuzzy puppy!—feel comfortable and confident. She directed our shoot with ease, and when it came to selecting our photos and artwork, she was patient and offered great advice. It truly felt like a terrific collaboration.

When we received our final product, we were blown away. The portraits are phenomenal, and we will treasure them for the rest of our lives. You will not find a better photographer in Chicago!"
