I'm so happy that we found Sam to do our wedding photos. We traveled from MN to FL for our special day, and we were 100% happy with the outcome! Sam was so much more then a photographer!! She took so much stress off me by her calm- collective, patient, helpful, friendly, and all over her attention to detail persona. Sam offered so much help to me as a bride, and really connected with our wedding party. The pictures that she took were amazing and so beautiful! Our family also mentioned how wonderful she was, and how lucky we were to have found her- she truly is amazing! If you are looking for a trustworthy, experienced, all over great photographer Sam is definitely it! Thanks again so much Sam for the beautiful photos, and the patience you had with us. You are amazing!!

Sam is so amazing. She is the nicest person and communicated so great with me from beginning to end. She is very organized and really listened to what was important to us. She was so sweet the day of my wedding and always made sure we were doing good and had what we needed. She helped coordinate different events and made sure we were on schedule. Her ideas and pictures are AMAZING! You can tell she loves what she does and has her heart in it. I'm so glad i trusted my instinct and chose her. She made our day perfect and i am so grateful for her and her time. She is so fun and easy to work with, talk to and such a kind hearted soul. You will not regret choosing Sam.

Sam is amazing! I got married November 2024 and Sam exceeded every expectation I had about the day. From getting ready with my bridesmaids until the last sparkler burned out at the end of the night she captured every perfect moment. I truly love looking back at the photos of our special day! Sam takes the time to meet with you before hand and really try to grasp your vision and wishes. She also is GREAT with little kiddos. We had many little ones we had to wrangle for pictures and she was so patient and made it a fun experience. Another thing I love love love about Sam is that she really gets into spirit of the session. So when it came time to dance at the reception not only did she get some awesome shots but she joined in on all the fun and dancing.

Sam went above and beyond to make a special day even more special. I couldn’t have chosen a better person to capture my proposal better than she did. If you’re thinking on booking with her don’t even think about it just book it, she will not disappoint you, 20/10.

We had the BEST experience with Sam! She is such a sweet soul, and captures the most beautiful photos. We felt so comfortable upon arrival and throughout our session. She has a natural eye for what will look best pose-wise and candidly, and edits the photos in an enhanced, natural way that is just stunning! If I could give 1000 stars I would.

Sam is such a super sweet person! From the instant we met in person, she made us feel comfortable and ensured we had fun! Before the session she was very organized and communicated promptly. Her prices are great and her photos...simply beautiful! I love the colors that her photos bring out. She also got us our photos back in a very timely manner! So many good things to say about Sam!

Sam was so excellent to work with. I randomly found her page on Instagram and she responded so quickly with all of the info I needed. On the date of the photos she took the time to remember everyone in our family’s name and make it very personal in the best way. She was kind, professional, and delivered amazing pictures that we will cherish always.

Sam was hired as our beach photographer while on vacation, and lucky us--she's now local to our home in Colorado! Sam has twice now captured my family so beautifully. She is incredibly patient with my autistic kiddos who take a little time to warm up and my silly middle child who likes to throw in crazy faces; she gets big, beautiful smiles from all in no time. Highly recommend!
