Documenting life as it naturally unfolds.

“The goal of art isn’t to attain perfection. The goal is to share who we are. And how we see the world.”

Welcome!

✈︎ West Coast + Worldwide

I believe in working hard, loving people well, and being grateful for every opportunity I’m given. I’m only here because “He first loved us” (1 John 4:19).

I want to capture life as it really feels. The big moments and the little ones.

Whether you’re a high school senior, getting married, celebrating something big, or just wanting to remember this season of your life, I’d love to be there to capture it.

My photos feel …

Natural. Honest. Nostalgic.

“I had the most fun I’ve ever had getting my photos taken by Sam! She made me feel relaxed throughout the entire shoot. She’s so funny, genuinely great at communicating poses, and was so helpful when it came to coordinating outfits. We also had lots of conversations before the shoot, and she made sure to look through all of my inspiration pictures. I could tell she really prepared & understood exactly what I was looking for.”

“I absolutely loved my photos! I honestly came into this not knowing anything, but she made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire experience”

“Sam made our engagement shoot so memorable. I’ll never forget the moment we opened our photos together because they were so beautiful that I honestly wanted to cry. She communicated with us so well throughout the entire process and made everything feel easy and comfortable. We also received our photos back in a timely manner with a full gallery that she customized for us, which I thought was such a thoughtful touch. She captured our relationship so beautifully, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
