A Little About Me...

Hi! I’m Candice,

I’ve been photographing pets 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.

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 'personal trainers' flying overhead.
