I'm so excited you're here!

Your adventurous wedding photographer

Hi! I'm Sam!

GET TO KNOW ME

I cannot begin to convey the gratitude we have for Sam! She was the absolute sweetest, supportive, and compassionate photographer and truly made us feel comfortable letting her capture our day. She is beautiful inside and out and that reflects into her work as well. I will recommend her for any wedding, event, and birthday I can due to her loving travel gigs. She captured our love in such a wholesome way and we haven’t stopped hearing about how gorgeous our photos are. She is so flexible with her packages as well, we booked her for a boudoir shoot (for my husbands day of present), main photographer for day of wedding, and have a 1yr anniversary shoot scheduled! We have truly made a lifelong friend in Sam!

I love to show your personality and love through my lens. A photoshoot doesn’t have to just be everyone smile for the camera. Your photoshoot can look like a romantic picnic or an adventurous date! Lets pop a bottle of champagne and spray it everywhere! 

For my families these are memories you're going to want to remember for a lifetime and I want to capture the true and meaningful interactions with all of the nose wrinkles and kisses and snuggles.

I cannot begin to describe how amazing Samantha was for our wedding! If I could give her 10 stars I would. From the pre wedding planning, she had scheduled zoom meetings and an email timeline to help us get everything in line, set a schedule, and make sure everyone was on the same page for the Day Of. She was beyond helpful in her knowledge and confidence of what would be happening. When we finally got to meet her in person she was so so sweet and amazing that I knew the photography was one thing I did not have to worry about at all! It was so nice to have that not be on my mind, because I was so confident in what she could do. Throughout the night she came up to me with different ideas of photographs to take that we had not planned, that were amazing and I was happy to incorporate into our night. And once we got our pictures back I was BLOWN AWAY!! They were ever better than I had expected, everyone I’ve shown them to had made comments of how great of a job she did. I would definitely book her for any photography shoot we choose to have in the future, I recommend her above and beyond. Thank you, Samantha!!!

We worked with Sam earlier this year when we had our baby. We loved the experience we had with her. She took pictures of our daughter in the hospital and a few weeks later in the studio and was so patient and gentle with her both times. She is so kind and her talent shines in her pictures! We are grateful to have such beautiful pictures to look back on!

so patient and gentle

Sam was our photographer at our wedding in New Mexico at Ghost Ranch. It was a beautiful setting, and she captured it perfectly. The whole experience of working with Sam - from the initial consultation to the final minutes of our wedding day - was incredible. She listened to what we wanted, made excellent recommendations when we weren't sure what wanted, showed us so much support, and came prepared to do more than we expected of her. Our photos turned out beautifully and having her be a part of our day made it all the more fun. I couldn't recommend her more highly!!

I can't recommend her enough.

Where do I begin?! Sam over exceeded our expectations. My fiance and I showed her our vision board and now looking at our album we have exactly that. She was patient, she was able to make us feel comfortable and she delivered. We will always recommend Sam to our friends, family and even strangers. She is just that good!

We absolutely love our photos.
