Hey, I'm Sam! *waves*

I'm a documentary & lifestyle family photographer with a love for capturing the most authentic moments. I believe our time is fleeting, and every little moment is totally worth the picture- yup, even your perfectly posed toddler who's picking their nose if there's nice lighting and a decent composition.

 

It turns out I'm not crazy for loving these sometimes hilariously candid moments.

 

My repeat families who've willingly returned every year since I started my full-time photography career in 2016 know there's a hidden ingredient to telling your family's story that perfection in a studio just wouldn't deliver. It's so much more than a good picture of some faces- it's a cherishable close-up of your family members as people.

 

So what's the point? To create storytelling images that celebrate your family for their individual uniqueness and warmth- so you too can look back at old photos of your growing family, and feel a wholesome connection to a time that once was.

 

How does a session go, exactly? In short: We spend as much time together as you'd like, and do whatever your family wants (as long as it doesn't get us killed or arrested). If you think that sounds better than picking out a backdrop color and sitting still for a while, then we're gonna get along just fine.  :)
