Anywhere in nature makes me happy but I love me a good mountain view - extra brownie points if those mountain views are in the PNW because its my extra happy place. I've been kickin' it at this whole photography thing for 4.5 years now and it's easily one of the happiest things in my life!

“Working with Candace Nicole Photography was such a breeze from start to finish. She kept us in the loop every step of the way and made sure we knew exactly what to expect on our wedding day. During the shoot, Candace had a gift for putting everyone at ease and turning the whole thing into something enjoyable rather than stressful.

“From the moment we booked TCJ Design for our wedding photography, we knew we were in excellent hands. Teresa demonstrated clear, frequent communication and was a great listener throughout the entire process. Their work is simply beautiful, timeless, and captivating. For our engagement session, Teresa really delivered on our by the water/Maryland theme, capturing stunning shots that felt so true to us as a couple.

As a professional, she takes her art very seriously. You can tell she thoughtfully tailors each shoot to match your preferred aesthetic and really curates to your vibe. Her editing style perfectly captured the colorful, romantic, boho look I envisioned. Her editing and photoshop skills are unmatched: she somehow makes you look and feel like the absolute best version of yourself. She executed every specific shot I wanted along so many creative ideas of her own. I fully trusted her. We could not be more thrilled with both our engagement shoot and our wedding gallery.

My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Soon, friends and then friends of friends asked me to photograph their children and families. Before long, I was documenting the lives and milestones of people all over the DMV area. I realized how happy I was connecting with people and capturing special moments, and so I launched Lotus Photography in 2012 - named for my first muse. I captured my first wedding in 2016 and I was instantly in love with being a wedding photographer!

“We cannot say enough good things about Georgette! We had a January wedding with about 50 guests, and she was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our portrait time was tight (our fault), and Georgette helped us game plan ahead of time so we could make the absolute most of it. She rolled effortlessly with last-minute changes to people and the order of photos, and somehow managed to squish in everyone we hoped to include without making it feel rushed or stressful. The photos themselves are stunning. She captured every bit of emotion — the big happy moments, the quiet sentimental ones, and even the teary-eyed exchanges. Looking through our gallery truly feels like reliving the day. Beyond her talent behind the camera, her wedding experience really showed. From knowing how to properly carry a giant dress and veil, to keeping things moving smoothly, she went above and beyond in so many small but meaningful ways. If you’re considering booking Georgette — do it. We are so grateful for her and will treasure these photos forever.”
