Hi! I'm Sam, a 30-something who is blessed to wear many hats in life—mother, daughter, wife, sister, aunt, friend, photographer, and teacher (I think that’s it)?! This year marks my 10th year teaching 5th-grade reading, writing, and history, a journey that has been incredibly rewarding, fulfilling (and exhausting - IYKYK)!

Beyond the classroom, my long-time passion has always been photography. I have forever been fascinated by the concept of photographs - moments frozen in time. From a very young age, I have been the one making everyone gather together at family functions for a photo, otherwise sneaking candids. I bought my first “fancy” camera when I was in school for teaching. I was able to take a few photography courses, which only further sparked my passion. What I love most about photography is its ability to tell stories that words sometimes can't. Every photograph captures a fleeting moment, an emotion, a piece of time that can be cherished forever.

In 2023, I finally took the plunge and started my own photography business, a dream that I’m so grateful has come to life. I specialize in using natural lighting and editing with warm, soft tones to create images that feel timeless and genuine. During our sessions, I’ll guide you through some poses, but I always aim to capture those candid, authentic moments that truly tell your story.
