BLAKE LIVELY

the most beautiful thing you can wear is confidence.

Growing up, Candace was made fun of for her buck teeth, four eyes, frizzy hair, & chicken legs. She didn't realize she was beautiful until she had a makeover followed by a fashion shoot in her late 20s. Thanks to that experience, she gained so much confidence that she got into modeling! She then created Beautiful You Studios in 2010 to help other women have this same life-changing experience. To date, she's helped hundreds of women see their beauty & has been recognized around the world for her work.

I still cry every time I watch this video. I will never forget as long as I live how I felt that day & how exhilarating it was. It was a very eye-opening experience for me & it showed me that I am beautiful! Since that shoot, I have continued to love myself for who I am & have not allowed anyone the privilege of making me doubt my self-worth! To any women who think they can’t do this because they’re not thin enough or don’t know how to pose, I am here to tell you to go for it. Candace is an awesome person and a phenomenal photographer. She will help you every step of the way! Thank you again Candace, you have made an extraordinary impact in my life & I am forever thankful!

it's been years since my shoot; still confident

NICOLE

First of all, let me say how impressed with the work Candace does & how she puts so much care into the intricate details of each photo. I couldn’t decide which ones to pick. The way she captured each moment & each pose just exquisitely. I feel like she captured how I am on the inside. To have that reflection in photos helps me feel more confident in who I am as a person. I am just in awe of how the photoshoot turned out & even the process & experience leading up to it just made me feel like I matter & like I can be a beautiful person. It was super inspiring. Thank you Candace for the work that you do.

Q

f

Q: DO MY PICTURES HAVE TO GO ONLINE?

No! Your images will never be online unless you give us permission to share them. You can simply ask to opt out of the model release portion of our contract to keep them private.

BACK

Q: WHAT SIZES DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH?

We hope it's pretty clear from our portfolio that we believe EVERYONE deserves to feel beautiful! Our Client Closet features items for women in sizes S-2X. If you're outside this range, you'll need to bring your own items. It should be mentioned that most of the furniture in our studio has a 300 pound weight limit per the manufacturer so we're unable to accommodate those who are outside this range at this time. 

BACK

Our #1 goal is to help you fall in love with the real you so you’ll see your unretouched photos during your Zoom Order Appointment. For those who prefer it, we offer complimentary light retouching, or “polishing,” which includes blemish, bruise, roll, and cellulite removal, & slight body reshaping. We believe in subtle changes and do not alter sizes or significantly change your appearance. 

Q: DO YOU RETOUCH THE PHOTOS?

BACK

Q: HOW FAR OUT SHOULD I BOOK?

We recommend booking at least 2 weeks prior to the date you need digital images back and 4 weeks prior to the date you need print products back. Rush orders are available at additional cost.

BACK

Q: DO YOU SHOOT COUPLES?

We used to do couples in the past, but at this time we've chosen to focus on empowering women.

BACK

Q: DO YOU SHOOT ON WEEKENDS?

We value our weekends just like you do, so we shoot on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 10 am & 2 pm. Many of our clients take PTO and turn this into a mini staycation, often enjoying a spa day or a girls' night out after their session!

BACK

Q: WHERE IS YOUR STUDIO LOCATED?

Our studio is located just south of Downtown Dallas, Texas, inside Southside on Lamar which is just across the street from the Dallas Police Headquarters. Ample free parking is available in a retail parking lot located behind the building. Also in the area is Gilley's Dallas and the Alamo Drafthouse if you want to meet a friend to see a show or movie after your session.

BACK

Q: WHAT PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?

We accept all major credit cards, PayPal Credit, & Affirm Virtual Card. We also offer 0% interest, 0 credit check, $0 down  pre-payment plans in house.  These allow you to spread out payments for your images for up to 6 months prior to your session.

BACK

Q: Do You Travel?

Yes! We'll go anywhere in the world when you book one of our full day Editorial Experiences. Click here for more information.
