Hi, I'm Candi.
A proud wife, a devoted mother to two of my most cherished little souls, Allie and Sam, and a passionate photographer with a deep love for storytelling through imagery.
My journey into photography has been a natural evolution of who I am at my core. From a young age, I was always drawn to the beauty of memories. I vividly remember spending hours flipping through old family photo albums, mesmerised by the power each image held – a frozen moment, a feeling, a connection.
Even then, I understood the importance of preserving memories, not just for the present, but for generations to come.

Career Progression
I pursued my academic path at Griffith University, where I completed a Bachelor of Visual Media. During my studies, I had the opportunity to explore various creative fields, and it was in my photography electives that something truly clicked. The camera became an extension of my creativity, a tool through which I could express emotion and capture the beauty of everyday life. It ignited a spark that never faded.
After graduating, I began my career as a graphic designer, which gave me a strong foundation in visual storytelling, composition, and aesthetics. While I was honing my skills in design and am now an Art Director at Village Roadshow Theme parks, photography has always quietly followed me like a loyal companion. What started as a personal interest soon evolved into something more meaningful. I began photographing friends and family, capturing the joy, laughter, and real moments that make life so special. Word spread, and before I knew it, I was being invited to document the lives of complete strangers, families, couples, newborns & it’s been an incredible journey ever since.

My Creative Direction
As a photographer, I approach every session with a heart full of warmth and a deep sense of purpose. I’m not just taking photos – I’m preserving memories, telling stories, and capturing the fleeting moments that often go unnoticed.
Whether it's a gentle glance between parents, the pure laughter of a child, or the quiet chaos of family life, I believe these are the moments that matter most.
My style is relaxed, natural, and heartfelt. I strive to create an environment where my clients feel comfortable enough to be their true selves – because that’s where the magic happens. My ultimate goal is to deliver images that resonate emotionally and stand the test of time; portraits that one day, your children and grandchildren will treasure just as much as you do.
Thank you for considering me to be a part of your story. I would be honored to help you capture life's most meaningful moments.
