Natural editing paired with traditional & candid imagery.

There are a number of location options within GSMNP. I have go-to spots I love to use and I’m always happy to scout out new locations!
A session close to sunset/sunrise session is recommended for soft natural lighting and lighter traffic, but I have flexibility to accommodate your itinerary!
Sessions range from 25 minutes to 45 minutes depending on location.
GSMNP requires a parking permit for all locations within the National Park. A day pass is $5 and can be purchased online or at a kiosk before our session: click to purchase online

Frequently Asked Questions
I monitor the forecast days and even hours leading up to your session. For light rain, I have a few clear umbrellas I supply to clients. In the event that conditions aren’t suitable to take photos (i.e. high winds, thunderstorm, etc), you will always be told ahead of time and I’ll have a back up plan to propose to you.
90% of my clients are travelers from out of town, so I understand you have little time to capture this special moment! I may be able to offer another time on the same date if it’s a clear window or I will allow an emergency reschedule (due to weather) within your travel dates when my calendar allows.
Just know I’m going to do my absolute best to make it happen! The weather is unreliable, but I am not!
I always try to deliver images before the due date (within 14 days). If you have an urgent need for the photos, I do allow a “rush edit” for an additional rate. This will put you at the top of my priority list and guarantee delivery by your deadline!
Absolutely! Additional photos are $5 per image.
“Pictures with Kandace went so well! She is so fun, easy going and was eager to get the photos that we wanted of our family. She was organized, communicated thoroughly and had photos back quickly. I would definitely recommend her.”

“I can’t recommend KLY enough! Kandace helped me surprise my girlfriend with a proposal and went the extra mile to even get me a boutique of flowers for after I proposed! She did excellent with the pictures and made the whole session a very casual and relaxed experience!”
