"Sam is one of the best there is. We have had many sessions with her, from engagement, to maternity and our wedding photos. Each session was a new and exciting experience and she captured our love perfectly. Sam is extremely professional, responsive, and flexible. I highly recommend her for any session you may want. If you can dream it Sam can create it. LOVE her love for the industry and creating beautiful art for her clients! Thank you for all you do Sam!"

Sam & MJ

"Sam was the BEST wedding photographer. She was very communicative during wedding planning, especially in the few weeks before the event. She was very fun, flexible, and friendly, and made us feel very relaxed and comfortable. She even stepped in to help with some scheduling/coordinating the day of while also taking thousands of pictures. All of our guests loved her. She captured the evening beautifully and I am so thankful I chose her for my wedding. I will cherish these photos forever! Thank you, Sam!"

"Sam was one of the highlights of our wedding day! She is a dream to work with! Every picture is perfect. There is not one bad photo from our wedding! Some of our favorites are the ones of us for our first paddle in our canoe, as husband and wife. She literally got into the water to capture this moment and flew a drone to get some epic shots from above of us. Talk about going above and beyond for your clients!! Sam is easy to get along with, and our friends and family loved her- it was as if she had been a long time family friend."
