“We had such a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE working with Samantha! Our session was so RELAXED and comfortable, and SHE REALLY PUT US AT EASE.”

We were especially nervous to navigate a photo session with a small baby and she was so communicative and helpful thoruhgout the whole process. She even gave us wardrobe recommendations to help us put together a look for the whole family! The photos turned out beautifully, and we sincerely recommend working with her!

— LAURA

“She made our photo session feel LIKE A BREEZE from the outfit planning, prompt communication, and patience with our young children.

She captured some beautiful images for us that we will truly treasure. I would definitely recommend her!

— RACHEL
