A Little About Me...

Hi! I’m Candice,

I’ve been photographing animals for over 30 years, and it didn’t take me long to discover what I truly love to capture... FAST ACTION!

There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing happy animals doing what they love. Whether it’s hunting a frisbee, perfecting zoomie sprints, or just hangin' in the backyard with their favorite human. I’m all about letting the moment unfold naturally. My lifestyle approach to photography means I wait for the action to happen—never forcing it.

Say Hello!


precision...


I began my photography journey in the 'film days,' working with a fully manual camera. With only 36 frames per roll, I quickly learned to be intentional and precise with every shutter release.


Quality...


Managing a professional photo-lab for 15+ years, I've learned a lot about quality control. As a result, I'm a self-declared perfectionist and print all of my own work, as well as providing my service to fellow photographer friends.


Dedication...


Active member of the PPOC (Professional Photographers of Canada) Accredited in Animal Sport Photography, Fine Art, and Image Manipulation; CPA (Craftsman of Photographic Arts); Certified Judge and Mentor.

What this means for you...


With years of experience photographing fast-moving animals, I know how to anticipate the action and capture the moments that matter most.


You get consistency, craftsmanship, and care—images captured with precision, refined to the highest quality, and backed by a photographer who is fully invested in your experience from start to finish.

When not photographing pets...


Nature always seems to make its way into my viewfinder and is a welcomed break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Recently, I have taken up Bird Photography as a way to 'exercise' my trigger finger in the off-season. I'm still fairly new to the birding world so if you see me turning my camera to the trees, be sure I have been coaxed by one of my feathered 'personal trainers'.
