About Me
Hello! I’m Candi Cooper, a passionate photographer with a love for capturing life’s most cherished moments through my unique style of traditional studio photography. My journey into photography began at Academy of Art in San Francisco, where I studied Fine Art Photography, and I have dedicated over 15 years to honing my skills and developing my craft.
Studio
The studio part of my business is temporarily closed until I am able to move into a commercial space in San Luis Obispo County. I am currently only providing on site portrait sessions and not studio style.
Let’s Capture Your Story
Whether you’re looking to celebrate a milestone, an engagement, or maternity session, I’m here to help you tell your story through beautiful imagery. Let’s work together to create something truly special!
These moments are your sweetest memories.
Reviews and 5 Star Rating
"I booked a session after finding her work on instagram. I have no previous experience with photography sessions and her registration answered all my questions. Her pricing is straightforward. Communication was great, her interaction with my daughter brought out the best and natural poses. Turnaround time was quick."

"Candi is understanding, professional, and she can get my serious boy to smile! We love all of our family photos, and will continue to work with Candi for the future!." - Allison Dea-Kemp
"Love our sessions with Candi! We’ve done two so far and both times she’s exceeded our expectations and given us exactly the vision I asked for. She’s an awesome person to work with and so kind. Highly recommend her!"

"It was a great family portraits session with Candy. She is so hardworking and truly dedicated to her work. We love to do every photo session with her.
Thank you 😊 " - Nidhi Joshi
"The absolute best! Super friendly, and creative! I love all her work!! I always feel self conscious when having pictures taken but she makes me feel at ease and comfortable. The hardest part of the whole process is narrowing down which pictures we want! " - Amanda Murphy
"a fantastic photographer that truly cares about her work. She specializes in light and styling. Extremely knowledgeable with photography, best light, background. She is a great eye! Candi is not only fantastic with children on getting them to pose and smile but she makes adults feel comfortable too. She listens to what your preferences are (i.e your better side, fixes your hair, or wardrobe) and pays attention to detail. I have had Candi do several of our family portraits, headshots, newborn and event photographs. She is professional, quickly responds, and honest. I get so many compliments on the photographs she has taken. Its hard to find a photograph like Candi we are very happy with her work."
