Candice Betty of Ambition Photography Huntington Beach Reveals Her Inspiration

Candice Betty, founder and lead photographer at Ambition Photography, reveals her inspiration and the elements that comprise her unique style. Her answers to these four questions tell why she loves photographing people so much and what makes her stand out.

What was your inspiration to start Ambition Photography?

I've had a passion for photography since I was 10 and my parents taught me how to develop photos inside our in-home darkroom. I was further inspired by the techniques I learned in OCC’s photography program, and my experience working as a staff photographer at Northridge Photography Studios. My dream, since I was 17, was to have my own photography business.

What makes Ambition Photography stand out from the competition?

What sets me apart is my warm personality and my shooting style. I shoot weddings, engagements, and events, as well as, executive portraits, family portraits, and senior portraits. My style is unique with a fine art influence, incorporating creative lighting, unique compositions, artistic angles, and advanced Photoshop techniques to allow me to create visually stunning images.

What do you love most about your job?

Making people look and feel their best, and capturing the priceless moments that flow out of this. I especially love working with couples to create romantic imagery that they will treasure for a lifetime.

What is the best reaction you’ve ever gotten from a customer?

“I love them! Your work is magnificent!” - Megan. Feedback like this always makes me feel like I'm having an impact on people's lives. It brings me back to why I decided to run a photography business - using my strengths to contribute to people's lives in a positive way.

Candice is currently offering a special engagement photo shoot package. The best way to contact Candice with questions is to schedule a call with her online using the magenta Contact Us button at the top right of her website ambitionphoto.co. 

Need a Thoughtful Gift? | The New Photo Shelf for Family Portraits & Weddings

When you think about your living space…

Do the photos there need an update? 

Are the photos from years ago? 

Something you’ve seen thousands of times. 

Maybe a little worn out? 

We hear you!

This spring, we’d like to invite you to come take some fabulous and fun family photos with us!

Today we’re introducing the “Photo Shelf” into our custom packages. 

These are awesome for family photos. Especially as a thoughtful gift for Mother’s day.

Schedule your session at least 4 weeks in advance. Choose your three favorite images, and we’ll print them on metal or a fine art paper.

Rest three of your favorite images stylishly in a solid white or black wooden base. Sets are available in 8” or 10” squares or 8x10” sizes.

Three images grouped together tell your story better than just one.

We really like the Photo Shelf for wedding/engagement photos, as well as high school senior photos.

Display them on your coffee table, the mantle above your fireplace, or show them off in your office.

Last but not least, the best part is…

You can easily swap out your photos any time you like.

Have a set of your 3 favorite wedding photos and a set of your kids.

On date night, swap them out for his favorite boudoir images of you!

Whichever photos you choose, a Photo Shelf is sure to draw attention and complements as a unique piece of art in your living space.

Schedule a 15 minute phone call online here to discuss having your family portraits taken. We look forward to hearing from you.

Pastel Painting of Bride's Makeup Session

This is a pastel painting of one of our brides getting her makeup done. Pastels bridge the gap between painting and drawing. I love the way the the pastel strokes add a sense of movement to the image to express the makeup artist's brush strokes!
