Hi, I’m Candace!

 A little about me----My name is Candace Gurley, I am a wife, a mommy, a romantic nut, and I'm what you may refer to as a bit of a photography fiend. Some call my love of photography an obsession; I call it a passion. Either way, one thing's for certain: I love taking pictures! Better yet, I love taking pictures of people. Landscapes are cool, but there's something about engaging with real life humans that takes my job to the next level of fun. I feel so lucky to get to do what I love.

I fell in love with photography when I was just 8 years old and I have never looked back since. When I’m not spending time with my amazing family or hanging out behind the camera, I am reading a good book, or guiltily playing on Facebook or Instagram.

My goal in every photo shoot is to capture those special moments, those silly quirks and those little things that make you who you are. If I can do that, then you can relive those simple, special moments in your life – or your children’s lives – and never forget them.

When you’re thumbing through old photos or pictures from a recent photo shoot, what are the shots you’re most drawn to?

When it’s me looking through those photos, I like to see the essence of whoever is in front of the camera. For example, I want to see my family enjoying each other and having a good time. I want to see real smiles and emotions. I want to be able to look at my photographs and be able to relive the moment and feel the emotions as if I was actually in that moment again

You’ll notice that even when you aren’t looking at the camera with a big smile, I’m still there taking pictures. Candid shots show the true emotion happening at that very moment. These are my favorite photos to capture.

I truly believe that photographs are so important. And the best kind, tell a story. Remember the phrase, “A picture’s worth a thousand words?” My goal for every photo is to have it be worth a thousand and one.
I am based out of Ocean Springs, MS but I am always open to travel, as well!

If you would like for me to help you create lasting memories out of your everyday life, please contact me here.

Can’t wait to meet you!

Candace
