ABOUT

Hi, I’m Courtney! My love of candle making started in 2000 to accompany my small home decor business. Eventually, I took pause to be present at my full-time job until 2005, when I took a leap of faith and started my ful-time Photography business. In 2015 I opened another brick and mortar shop in the small city of Saint Helens, OR and found it to be a great time to return to my love of candle making. The Great Northern Candle Co. was born and has been my main focus ever since.

 

Born out of a desire to capture the essence of the Pacific Northwest, I draw inspiration from my other lifelong love, Twin Peaks. Combining two things I love so much only made sense and continues to keep my love of both alive! I am continuously inspired by the beauty that surrounds us and the scents that we get to take in as a benefit of living in such a lush and vibrant paradise. I can see why our region continues to excite and inspire film makers, authors and everyday people and it gives me inspiration to create every day.

 

As a business, we are committed to quality and sustainability, and use only the finest, sustainably sourced ingredients whenever possible. Our fragrances are all Vegan, Cruelty, Paraben, and Phthalate Free. We are committed to giving back to social causes when we can, and every online shop purchase plants a tree.
