Helping people feel good is what we do.

Candace Sanborn, Owner

Candace Sanborn is a personal stylist and owner of Radiant Image in Auburn, Maine. She works with girls and women of all ages and specializes in virtual and in-person makeovers for women over 40.

Prior to starting Radiant Image, Candace co-owned Encompass Marketing & Design in Auburn Maine for 20 years and worked in marketing for over 30 years. The branding strategies she created for organizations to achieve their sales or development goals often included advising on how to enhance a team member's brand through clothing color and style choices, as well as communication and presentation skills training. This was particularly true when she worked with professional service providers (accountants, lawyers, etc.) and service-based business owners whose success depended on how well they represented themselves to others.

Wanting to have a little more fun and relaxed lifestyle, Candace left the marketing world and started Radiant Image in 2019. She now enjoys working by herself from her home studio, teaching women of all ages (and sometimes men!) how to look and feel good about their appearance through learning to work with their features.

Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Candace was wooed away to Maine by her husband and has lived here with him ever since, raising two grown children. She has an M.B.A. with an emphasis in Marketing from Southern New Hampshire University and is a qualified administrator of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. She is a Leadership Maine alumni (Lambda class) and has served on a multitude of local and statewide boards and committees throughout Maine as well as presented on an array of personal image and branding-related subjects.

Candace is passionate about living a fun, interesting life through travel, spending time with family and friends, and enjoying her favorite activities: line dancing, pickleball, golf, walking in the Maine woods, and time on the water in her boat or kayak.
