About CandleHut

Behind the Lens
Hi, I’m Jamie Willson, the photographer behind CandleHut Media, a Southwestern Pennsylvania photographer specializing in story-driven photography. What started as a social media management business naturally evolved into photography as friends and clients began asking me to capture the moments that mattered most to them. Over time, storytelling through photography became the heart of what I do — documenting real people, real connections, and the fleeting moments that matter most.
Today, CandleHut Media focuses on intentional, story-driven photography for families, couples, seniors, graduates, and businesses. From weddings and engagements to newborns, milestones, and community events, my goal is always the same: to create images that feel natural, meaningful, and true to who you are — not posed or forced.
I believe the best images happen when sessions feel relaxed, personal, and unhurried. My approach gives space for genuine moments to unfold, whether that’s a quiet laugh between family members, a stolen glance at a wedding, or a business owner confidently showcasing their work. I love capturing the story behind the moment, and I’m always open to adventure — ready to travel wherever your story leads.
While based in Southwestern Pennsylvania, I frequently work in Anderson County, South Carolina, and I welcome opportunities throughout the region and beyond. If you have a vision, a destination, or a place that feels like you, I’d love to be there to capture it.
What it’s like to work with me:
Sessions are intentional, relaxed, and fun, giving space for authentic moments.
I guide you through poses and prompts so your images feel natural.
Every session is personalized — no two stories are the same.
I’m here to capture what matters to you, from milestones to everyday moments.
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, planning a wedding, or simply want to freeze a season of life, I’d be honored to tell your story.
