Hi! My name is Kandise and this is my blog.
I’m a wedding and portrait photographer, and my style is a fun, fresh, relaxed take on documentary photography. My images are all about telling stories through genuine moments; natural light; great locations; and joyful, loving couples and families. I love what I do. I love taking awesome photos of awesome people… and I’d love it if that were you!
This blog is part business, part pleasure, and all me. It’s where I share images from my client photo sessions and weddings, the latest news and promotions, and tales from my personal life and travels. Poke around, check out my portfolio, and stay awhile. Keep in touch by friending me on Facebook and following me on Twitter… and don’t forget to drop me a comment: I’d love to hear from you!
Kandise Brown is based in Fredericton, New Brunswick and available worldwide. Now accepting commissions for 2012 and 2013.
the colours | fredericton photographer | fredericton, nbOctober 26th, 2011I have noticed a phenomenon in photography, where the more you shoot for others, the less you shoot for yourself.

I have noticed a phenomenon in photography, where the more you shoot for others, the less you shoot for yourself. I can see it happening to me: increasingly the camera gets left at home, too heavy to carry around with me all the time as I once did. Yesterday I decided to break out of that rut, and in the afternoon post-rain I hit the streets with just my camera and a macro lens, to see what I could see. It felt good.

thankful | fredericton photographer | fosterville, nbOctober 11th, 2011Thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays (though let’s face it, I am a fan of holidays in general), and this year I made the executive decision to not accept any Thanksgiving weddings so that I could spend the whole weekend with my own family!

Thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays (though let’s face it, I am a fan of holidays in general), and this year I made the executive decision to not accept any Thanksgiving weddings so that I could spend the whole weekend with my own family! Given the astonishingly, unseasonably warm weather (I have my first ever Thanksgiving tan!), I’m so glad I did.
People kept asking me in the lead-up to the weekend what my plans were, and I always replied “I’m going to go to the camp and sit and eat.” That’s exactly what I did. I went to the camp. I sat. I ate. (I read a bit, knit a bit, watched TV a bit… really stretched myself). I reflected on all that I have to be thankful for (and then how thankful I am that I have so much to be thankful for). I had a great time, and I hope you did, too.

biking | fredericton photographer | fredericton, nbSeptember 23rd, 2011It’s probably apparent by now that I love being outdoors in September. Well, almost any time, but particularly in September. Part of it is that we’re actually home in September – I counted, I’ve been in Fredericton only 8 out of 20 weekends since May – part of it is that it is so nice [...] |
It’s probably apparent by now that I love being outdoors in September. Well, almost any time, but particularly in September. Part of it is that we’re actually home in September – I counted, I’ve been in Fredericton only 8 out of 20 weekends since May – part of it is that it is so nice out in September, and part of it is the sense of impending doom I feel as winter approaches, like I must DO ALL THE THINGS!! before we’re covered in snow.
One particular thing we like to do as a couple is go for a bike ride and then park it in a plum area to lay down in the grass and read awhile. This particular weekend we covered the 10 km out to Hartt Island, where I polished off Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, and began New York: The Novel. A very pleasant way to spend a sunny Sunday.

kayaking | fredericton photographer | fredericton, nbSeptember 14th, 2011Since kayaking is my favourite and I only got to do it once this year, I’m maximizing my experience by making a second blog post about it. It’s hard to get interesting angles when trapped in a kayak, but I kind of love these anyway. Enjoy! |

south carolina | new brunswick photographer | charleston/myrtle beach, scSeptember 13th, 2011After a day in NYC we continued on down the eastern seaboard to our final destination: South Carolina. Most of the time we spent using our beach-front condo as a conduit to lazing on the beach between ultra-touristy excursions (Ripley’s Aquarium, Medieval Times(!)). Myrtle Beach itself I didn’t really find especially inspiring in terms of [...] |
After a day in NYC we continued on down the eastern seaboard to our final destination: South Carolina. Most of the time we spent using our beach-front condo as a conduit to lazing on the beach between ultra-touristy excursions (Ripley’s Aquarium, Medieval Times(!)). Myrtle Beach itself I didn’t really find especially inspiring in terms of photography, so a day-trip to Charleston (on what ended up being our last day of the trip) was very welcome. Charleston is gorgeous; the abundance of Italianate architecture makes it as Europe with palm trees. The accents are like honey and Southern hospitality made me feel like I was raised in a barn. If it hadn’t been for the overwhelming humidity, I might never have come home. Here are just a few pictures from those days, as well as the Hurricane Irene-themed drive home.
