I'm Sam, and I can't wait to work with you!

Get to know a bit about me 

​

Above all else, I am a mother. My three wild and wonderful children are my heart and soul and its them that sparked my love for documenting families, but my love of photography started long before they came along.
For as long as I can remember, photography has defined who I am. As a little dreamer and observer, I spent my childhood behind the lens of disposable cameras. Later in my teens I taught myself how to use my first real camera, little did I know set the path of my life with the click of a shutter. Since then I have had the pleasure of studying photography at top universities in NY and SF and worked under brilliant professionals and with some of my dream clients. I have been able to turn my passion into a career all while raising my family full time.

​​

I have found that people are by far my favorite subject. I love photographing authentic moments and emotions. I love capturing the moments in-between, the ones that may have otherwise been missed. From years of wedding photography I have developed a signature lifestyle way of shooting, capturing true love and emotion in a candid and casual way. I use only natural light and let it guide the way when I am shooting. I and am inspired by film photography and even in my digital work I recreate the same tones and mood found with film. 

 

 After I had my son and creating a family of my own, I have found a strong passion for family and newborn photography. Nothing is better than spending the day getting to know families and capturing the candid fun moments that show so much heart and personality.With a candid and casual approach, rather than sticking to posed shots I encourage you to be yourselves, snuggle, play and I'll take care of the rest. Kids grow so fast and are constantly changing, I love capturing these fleeting moments, the tiny milestones you don't ever want to forget. I love being invited into a family's home or taken to their favorite place and capturing them just be themselves. 

​

Photography is who I am, how I communicate and I love sharing it with people. I love that photography has brought me to so many places and allowed me to meet so many amazing people.

Let's create something beautiful!
