Let’s celebrate your pets and children by decorating your home with beautiful Portraits of them.
I’m an Owen Sound portrait photographer specializing in Pet photography and Family photography. I also photography fine art dance portraits for passionate dancers.
I have been working full time at creating custom portraits since 2013 and my goal is to create beautiful portraits that you will love and tell a STORY about your fur-babies, children, and family.
Families come to me because they want heart-felt art work that showcase their pet and family’s personalities, they want to be in some of the photos, and they want to feel comfortable and relaxed.
When you see your child candidly posing with his BFF dog, you will smile and say ‘Yep, that is our boy right there. He always poses like a knight’ – okay, you may not say exactly that, but you will smile.
Why do I do what I do…
It’s simple. Our family grows up way too fast and we want to hold onto these memories for as long as we can. Sometimes a single portrait can bring tears to your eyes.

I can’t say enough good things about Candra! She recently worked with my daughter (15 yrs)and her horse, creating some precious and beautiful photos and memories. Candra is very professional, but also creates a lot of ease and fun during the photo shoot. She gave practical and easy to follow tips and instructions to my daughter in order to capture some priceless and unique photographs with her horse. We would both highly recommend Candra to anyone!
