HELLO.
I'm Sam
When I’m not behind the lens, you can usually find me bossing my husband around and trying to keep up with my 3 wild children Kate, Jack and Luke. If I am holding a camera, I am probably in a flower field, chasing sunsets, making someone feel like a baddie during their boudoir session, or being your hype girl on the most important day of your life.
​
​ ​ I am a natural light, true to color, documentary style wedding & portrait photographer, bringing a playful and authentic vibe to every session. I live for those candid, unscripted moments; kiddos mid-giggle, the confident glow during a boudoir session, the dreamy lost in each other's presence of your first dance.
My love for ALL THE THINGS keeps me inspired, and my mission is to make sure you feel relaxed, joyful, and fall in love with your photos! ​
TESTIMONIALS
"Samantha did such a wonderful job on our wedding photos! She was very easy to work with, very quick to respond and helpful leading up to the wedding day and made the whole actual day so much fun! We felt very at ease with her from the start. Everyone raved about her to my husband and I at the wedding and they still are to this day (4 months later!). We couldn't have been more thrilled with her and plan on using her in the future for any other photography needs we may have."

"We were so lucky to find Samantha for our wedding in October, she came in with a plan and was able to keep our crazy families in line (not an easy task)! She made a stressful day fun, and our pictures came out amazing! Highly recommend! P.S for my fellow big girlies, she's got your back! From lipstick on the teeth to the best angles to hide your insecurities - she's got you!"

"Samantha was professional, organized, and efficient. Not only did she know every shot she wanted to get, but she also knew, when, where, and how to get them. Despite the chaos of a wedding day, she kept everything on track to make sure we got shots of all of the moments we wouldn’t want to miss. She knows how to direct people so that everything is captured well. There was no awkwardness or guessing on poses, hand placements, etc because she gave all the instruction needed. Samantha was present throughout every important moment and because of it we came away with tons of incredible photos. There was not one moment that I have looked back on and found was missing from our photos because she made sure to be present and capture everything. I will continue to recommend her to those I know for wedding shoots, regular sessions, and everything in between!"

"Sam went above & beyond to capture the most amazing photos. She kept everyone in line and was extremely professional. Even when things didn’t go as planned (with my caterer) Sam could sense my anxiety and kept me smiling & laughing the entire time. She captured amazing memories that will last a lifetime. My entire wedding party & guests adored Sam. She made sure to stay on schedule & arrived early. She made everyone very comfortable and treated us all like family. I highly recommend Sam for any event you want to capture & cherish."
