Introduction
After taking the leap from hobby to full-time career in 2022, I found my calling in photography with the intersection of art, technical skill customer service.
From initial contact through gallery delivery, I am committed to providing quality service to my clients. Whether small business owners, engaged couples, families and beyond, my goal is to take the stress out of having your photos taken.
Your experience should be remembered with happiness, and you should feel comfortable and prepared throughout the entire process. I genuinely believe it is an honor to provide the service of photography.

Sam was the absolute perfect choice for our wedding photographer! I can't imagine having anyone else with us for our big day. She's personable, friendly, excited for your event, and just an overall great person.

Fantastic and great to work with for getting wonderful family photos. Our toddler was being extremely uncooperative but she was amazing at getting great pictures anyway

We would rate Sam 20/10 if we could, that's how amazing she was! From the very first Zoom call in early 2023 we knew that we had made the right decision in hiring Sam. She is a proud LGBTQ+ ally and diversity advocate, and she puts those thoughts into action. She immediately made us feel comfortable and in a safe space during our engagement session photos, some of which took place in the middle of a round-a-bout! Sam listened to and followed through with the vision we had for our engagement and wedding photos. She came to the sessions super prepared and made sure that everything we wanted was checked off her mental checklist. After both the engagement and wedding sessions, we received sneak-peeks within just a couple days, which we were ecstatic about! In between the engagement session and the wedding, Sam responded quickly to any questions we had and sent out timely updates and countdowns. When the wedding day finally was upon us, Sam was a DREAM to work with. She was so calm, positive, and encouraging, but also knew how to corral our wedding party and gave great instructions. Sam got all the photos we wanted plus SO much more! The candids and group shots she got throughout the day were a welcomed surprise when we received our gallery. A big thing with Sam is that she didn't want us to worry about the small details throughout the day. She is a big reason that our day ran so smoothly. We are in love with our photos, and cannot say enough good things about working with Sam!

Sam was amazing to work with for our wedding! She is very responsive, captured everything we discussed and got us a sneak peak the day after our wedding! Sam made the wedding day smooth by helping us with the timeline of everything. She is very friendly, upbeat and would highly recommend her for any photo needs.

Words cannot express how much I appreciate the talent of this photographer and the person that she is. Our dog, Fox, had some serious health issues and was declining fast. I wanted some nice photos to remember her by, and Sam was just so kind, sweet and helpful during the session. We needed to stop a couple of times because Fox was having seizures. She sat with us, totally calm, and comforted Fox with us as the seizure passed. She could tell that watching our fur baby go through this was tough on us. She was super gentle, and gave us the time we needed so we could get back on track. About a year and a half later, I called her again for a Best Friends shoot and it was so much fun! Shell be my first call when photos are needed again, and I always recommend her to anyone looking.
