Meet your boudoir photographer | Gulf coast photographer

 A little about me----My name is Candace Gurley, I am your photographer and personal hype woman, I am a wife, a mommy, a major book worm, and I'm what you may refer to as a bit of a photography fiend. Some call my love of photography an obsession; I call it a passion. Either way, one thing's for certain: I love taking pictures! Better yet, I love taking pictures of people. Landscapes are cool, but there's something about engaging with real life humans that takes my job to the next level of fun. I feel so lucky to get to do what I love.

Mrs. S's Boudoir Session | Mississippi

“Seeing my finished photos was a huge confidence booster. This middle-aged, post-four-kids body's still got it! I did the session as a gift for my husband but I feel a bit selfish because I think I got more out of it than he did (even though he LOVED the photos, definitely the best gift I've given him in 16 years of marriage). It has been really hard for me not to share any of the pics on social media (I'm in a career where that wouldn't be appropriate). I didn't expect to want other people to see them but I'm really proud of them, I look hot!”

Mrs. T Boudoir & Beauty Session | Biloxi, MS

“Before doing this shoot with Candace, I never imagined myself being this adventurous behind a camera. I’ve always been super shy and conservative, but after seeing her work, I knew I wanted some of her shots. It’s artwork in the form of lingerie and beauty. 

After I signed up, I will admit, I was still super nervous to take the plunge because that’s my impurities, my imperfections, out there for the world to see, but then I realized a part of this process is coming to terms with the fact that if you’re ok with your imperfections, other people will be too(if not then they don’t matter.) They may not even realize they are there. So after coming to terms with that- I was SUPER stoked!”…

Mrs. Melissa's Boudoir Experience | Biloxi Mississippi

"You made me feel so at ease. You are absolutely the sweetest person, and you immediately feel like a best friend. I am not a shy person anyway, but I never felt uncomfortable with you in such an intimate situation. This really is my first and only boudoir photo shoot and I had no idea what to expect. I couldn't have asked for it to be better than it was. I loved how easy you made it."

MR. & MRS. A COUPLE SESSION | BILOXI, MS

"The entire experience was really life changing. I got there that morning feeling like the number on my scale was going to determine how my pictures turned out. I left there an hour later and felt like a goddess. I felt free. That session made me realize that I was more than just a mom, or a wife, or my weight. I realized that I'm still sexy. I've still got a fierce lioness living inside me. It ended up being more of a gift for my well-being my self worth than it was a gift for my husband."
