The Best Shoot!!!
This branding session with Sam was so amazing! She was so fun to work with and really made my shoot feel like two girls hanging out ! All of my photos are so amazing and I am obsessed! I got my photos back SO quick as well!! She drove to me which was also so amazing and really helpful for me! I will be shooting with her every single year! Hands down the best session and photos Iโ€™ve had!

Branding Session
Sam is simply the best at what she does! I am so awkward in front of the camera and she made me feel so comfortable and was my personal hype woman. I needed to do a branding shoot for my business for a very big announcement and Sam delivered 4 amazing photos just a few short hours after my shoot! I cannot wait to see the full gallery as the few photos I already have are amazing!

Boudoir session
If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! Sam was absolutely amazing!! From the moment I walked into the door until we were leaving the studio, she was the biggest hype girl!! I was so nervous going into this session and unsure of how it would go. This girl did so much research and had a TON of pose/background variations!! She did an amazing job of creating a sexy and classy style into the pictures. Sam had such great communication from the very start, and even sent me a sneak peak of my pictures within the HOUR of leaving the session!! I canโ€™t wait to see the rest of the amazing pictures she took!! I canโ€™t recommend her enough for anyone wanting to do a boudoir session!!

Couldnโ€™t recommend more!
Sam was flexible with our schedule, personable during our pictures making it work with a crazy one year old, and prompt with getting us our pictures back. She sent us a preview within an hour after our shoot, and we couldnโ€™t love them more!! She is wonderful!

Engagement announcement photo shoot
Samm was so wonderful to work with! She was able to bring my vision of an engagement announcement to life, and not to mention in such a quick turn around time. Her photos and professionalism exceeded my expectations. We will be booking in the future! Thank you so much for making this time in our lives that much more special! โค๏ธ

AMAZING Maternity Pic session!!!
Not only did Samantha capture incredible pictures, but we had so much fun doing it!!! Maternity pictures are hard when it comes to angles, she did not struggle even a bit! I felt gorgeous!!!!! - Iโ€™m referring everyone I know and then some to her!! I canโ€™t thank her enough for giving me that sense of beauty back that I needed and for just being full of life and energy. Thatโ€™s what makes all the difference. ๐Ÿ’—

So in love with our family pictures!
Samm absolutely blew it out of the water with our family pictures! She did such a great job and I cannot say enough how happy I am with how the photos turned out. I had never met Samm prior to our session and she was so kind and personable and truly made us feel so comfortable the entire time. It was probably the hottest day of the year and we had a crabby 2 year old who was not very interested in pictures and she just went with the flow and still somehow captured the sweetest candids of him and our family. I canโ€™t thank her enough that we will always have these beautiful pictures to look back on.

The prettiest pictures weโ€™ve ever gotten.
Samm is absolutely amazing to work with and her pictures are beyond beautiful. She captured a maternity session for us. She has such a fun energy and kept my husband and I laughing the whole time and made the whole experience easy. The laughter and happiness came through in the pictures which is a huge bonus considering my husband hates pictures haha. She helped with posing while keeping it effortless looking and kept my hair in check which is a whole task in itself. Literally couldnโ€™t have asked for a better experience or more beautiful pictures to remember this time of our lives. Only negative is Iโ€™ll be disappointed with any other photographer if we ever have to use someone else!

Family Session
I had high hopes for amazing family photos with Sam last month and she definitely delivered! It was such a windy day and I was nervous about how the photos would turn out, but they were all amazing! I highly recommend booking with Sam! Iโ€™ll cherish our photos forever!

Maternity PhotoShoot
Samm was nothing but wonderful from the very start to work with! She is super responsive to emails and texts/messages, and very transparent. She is willing to work with your ideas, and bring on her own! I had no idea what direction I wanted to take with our maternity shoot, and she had so many wonderful ideas and I fully trusted her! Samm also made me feel so beautiful and confident in my body during the photoshoot! I felt more beautiful during that session than I did on my wedding day. She is a hype-girl! My husband and I are so thrilled with our photos! We could not have asked for a better maternity session! I am already planning to book Samm when our little girl gets here for our newborn/lifestyle pictures! I highly, HIGHLY, recommend using Samm to capture life's special moments!

The best of the best!
We could not have asked for a more perfect experience! She made us feel comfortable and got the cutest shots of my family (including a little one who is hard to entertain). She was always quick to respond if we had a question and got our pictures back to us so fast. 10/10!!

Wild little boys
Samm.. where do I even begin?! She is the BEST! She makes the session feel like a breeze! She was so sweet to my little boy. I was worried how wild he would be during this session, but that didnโ€™t matter! She let him take the lead and she captured memories for me that I will cherish for forever. 10/10! Canโ€™t wait for our next session!

Mommy and Me
Not only does Sam know how to capture the love and bond between mother and son but she is so easy to work with and makes you feel comfortable and confident infront of the camera. I thank her for capturing all the milestones and memories to come with me and my boy.

Wonderful Senior Session!
Samm is incredible! She made me feel very comfortable and everything felt so easy with her. I love her vision and she does a great job at making sure you get what you want out of your session! Couldnโ€™t recommend Samm enough!

Amazing
Itโ€™s always hard to get pictures of my 3 year old. Itโ€™s not an easy task to handle him, but Sam did it with such ease and compassion. She was caring and loving and didnโ€™t give up for one second. So thankful for her service (:

Mini family session
Sam was great! She was able to switch my daughterโ€™s mood and get some smiles out of her. These family photos mean everything to me and Sam overdelivered in all aspects. I canโ€™t wait to put all of these photos on my wall! I highly recommend her to anyone needing family photos!!

Newborn
Sam did a wonderful job at what I was wanting for our baby boys newborn pictures. She captured what she could with him being fussy & wide awake during our shoot, which made it raw and in the moment. We are so grateful for her, she has done our maternity & now newborn. We cannot wait for the future photo sessions of our little guy with her! ๐Ÿ’™

Mommy & me
Sam made this shoot so fun and relaxed! I was nervous going into it because a 6 month old is unpredictable. She quickly put me at ease and we enjoyed ourselves so much during our shoot. She made sure that she got all the inspo pics I wanted and completely exceeded them! We canโ€™t wait to work with her again for a first birthday ๐Ÿค

Best Engagement Session!!!!
Ryan and I had an absolute BLAST working with Samm! She was very professional, so fun, and made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera! We had been communicating with Samm prior to the shoot about our ideas for how we wanted our engagement photos to look, and Samm worked hard behind the scenes to get everything squared away (locations, permissions, times, etc). The photos turned out way better than we couldโ€™ve asked for and we are so thrilled that we got to work with such a talented photographer ๐Ÿค looking forward to using her again in the future for all of our photography needs!! Definitely reach out to her if youโ€™re interested in booking!! Sheโ€™s amazing!

Motherhood/ Newborn Photoshoot
Sam was amazing to work with! I was nervous going into the shoot because Iโ€™m very shy but she instantly made me feel comfortable. She came prepared with many great poses and ideas for the shoot. She was so sweet and patient with my one month old. Our pictures turned out so good!! Sheโ€™s so talented and definitely knows what sheโ€™s doing! I canโ€™t wait to work with her again!!

Book photo shoot
Sam may be new to photography but sheโ€™s definitely not new to taking photos and making you feel beautiful and confident. I am a book worm to my core and Sam came up with the adorable idea to incorporate that into a photo shoot. I am incredibly awkward getting my photo taken and Sam made it so fun, she made me feel so comfortable and confident. My favorite thing is sam knew my insecurities and would take a photo and instead of being like yes youโ€™ll love this she said okay youโ€™re not gonna like that letโ€™s try it from this angle. If youโ€™re thinking about booking with sam I truly canโ€™t recommend her enough!

Styled shoot
I reached out to Sam to do a fun and sexy styled shoot. Sam knocked it out of the park with the location and she helped me with picking out the outfit. Her enthusiasm made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Just from the sneak peeks she sent over Iโ€™m so eager to see the full gallery. I canโ€™t wait to work with her again in the future!

Iโ€™m so proud of you Sam for doing what you have always wanted, you are absolutely killing it and I will definitely use you again! You made me and my little crazy girl feel so comfortable around the camera. You were so patient and helpful the entire time and got our pictures back super fast! We love you so much!

Amazing and beautiful mommy and me shoot!
Sam really made sure that I was prepared and comfortable going into the photoshoot. There was great communication and flexibility while booking. She was so good with my 6 month old during & went above and beyond the entire time with us! She made it playful and fun and caught real intimate moments. She was so fast to send us a sneak peek which I was anxious for and I couldnโ€™t have been happier! Her work is amazing and truly some of the best Iโ€™ve seen! I was blown away by our pictures and how gorgeous they turned out! 100/10!! Couldnโ€™t recommend more!!

Amazing!!
Sam is just starting out, but knows exactly what she is doing. She makes you feel so comfortable during your shoot. She comes prepared with poses & ideas that she has in mind for your session, but also allows you to tell her what you want. I highly recommend Sam for your next photo session!!
