Candace Gier, Wedding and Portrait Photographer
Hi, I’m Candace
Professional Photographer Since 2002

In a short sentence, I am a home-schooling mother with an amazing family, a photographer, and simply trying to make the best of the time I have here.
I love that with my camera, I can make a piece of art, create a family heirloom, preserve a funny moment, capture a once in a life-time event, make a simple item look interesting, or share the beauty of God’s world through my eyes, with and for others.
I always put my best foot forward and am eager to learn new techniques to improve my style and work and increase my skill level.
I’ve had the blessing of working with several fantastic photographers since I started out in 2002, all of who have helped me grow and mature professionally.
I have worked with natural lighting, strobes—as well as in a complete studio setting.
I’ve created portraits for people of all ages, for various reasons; photographed pets, documented weddings, corporate and business events, sporting and dance events, products, and of course – the beautiful world around me.
“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men” Colossians 3:2
