what my clients are saying...
Ella M.
Couple & Headshots
"I absolutely LOVE working with Sammy! I’ve done a photoshoot with my partner as well as headshots (peep the profile photo). She made my partner and I feel so relaxed during our couples shoot and picked out a great location for us based off my vague ideas I’d shared with her beforehand. She’s also super speedy with the turnaround- I got my headshots the same day and the pics with my partner in less than a week (might’ve been like 72 hrs tbh). The photos are amazing, Sammy is amazing, highly recommend for any of your pic needs!!!"
Nick Cahill
Head of Media // RiSE Festival
"I hired Sammy to shoot photography and to specifically cover everything related to people and products for RiSE Festival. She took our shot list and hit it out of the park with no micromanaging needed. Her work ethic is top notch and she’s a pleasure to work around. Best part of it all is that she got along great with the client and everyone on set. I will hire her again in a heartbeat."
Nina P.
Creative Director
"I collaborated with Sammy on a brand photoshoot and I cannot recommend her enough! If you're looking for a talented and fun artist to capture your vision, she effortless moved between various locations, models and products which made the entire day seamless. She even delivered in RECORD time when our client asked for last minute to rush the delivery!"
Lara & Grant
Wedding Couple
"Sammy was recommended to us by a photographer friend, and we are thrilled with our experience! Sammy was easy to communicate and plan with, and even took the time to attend our welcome drinks the night before our wedding to meet our families and key guests. The photos are amazing, and Sammy did a wonderful job capturing the emotions of our loved ones throughout the day and night. An unexpected bonus of working with Sammy was her people and event management skills. She expertly kept us on schedule and ensured we had the right people in the right shots, which made a big difference in our wedding running smoothly! Sammy came prepared for the event by scouting locations for our first look, family photos, and golden hour, and this is evident in the final product."

FAQ
1. What types of sessions do you offer?
While my core offerings are built around weddings, lifestyle & branding, legacy sessions, and proposals & engagements—I also take on a select number of additional projects each year.
I frequently photograph high-level corporate events and understand the importance of professionalism, discretion, and delivering polished, impactful images. I also have deep roots in the music world, and love taking on music and festival projects that align with my calendar—especially when there’s room to get creative.
If you have a project that doesn’t quite fit into one of the categories above but feel drawn to my style, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s dream something up together.
2. Do you travel?
Absolutely. I travel all over the world to create—it's part of why I built my life around this craft. I love photography, art, and adventure, and getting to combine them is the dream. Let’s talk about your location and project so we can tailor any travel fees to make sense for you.
3. How do I book?
Head to the contact page and fill out the form. I’ll get back to you within 48 hours with a link to book a discovery call. We’ll chat about your session, go over your vision, and iron out any details. Once the agreement is signed and the 50% retainer is paid, your date is all yours.
4. What's your style?
My style blends artful storytelling with a grounded, documentary approach. I balance thoughtful planning with an easy, go-with-the-flow energy—so you can be fully present and actually enjoy the experience.
I believe photography should feel fun, natural, and totally unforced. Whether we’re hiking to a cliffside or dancing through a reception, it should feel like hanging with a friend who happens to have a camera. No stiffness, no ego. Just someone who’s genuinely there to support the vibe—not distract from it.
5. We're awkared in front of the camera--will that show?
Not at all. Take it from someone who also feels awkward in front of the camera—I get it. That’s actually what helps me guide you in a way that feels easy and natural.
I use what I call “active posing,” which means we’re always moving—walking, laughing, interacting—so nothing ever feels stiff or forced. My job is to help you relax, forget the camera is even there, and just be in the moment.
And honestly? You’ll be shocked at how much the photos look and feel like you.
6. How long does it take to get our photos back?
It depends on the project, but I always try to get you sneak peeks as soon as I can. That said, I like to take my time with editing—I step away, come back, and fine-tune until everything feels just right. These aren’t just photos; they’re art. And I treat them that way.
Weddings are typically delivered within 12 weeks, and other sessions around 3. But if you need a faster turnaround, just ask! I’ve delivered galleries the night of or within a few days when needed—it may just require adjusting my schedule.
