Your ordering appointment is where the vision truly comes to life. We'll meet in your home, review your proof gallery together, and select the images that you love. Then, using your actual walls as our canvas, we’ll plan out the perfect decor that complements your space and style.

The Person Behind the Lens
Hi! I'm Samantha
Aside from being a photographer, I'm an avid music fan. You can find me listening to music whenever I'm busy editing or making dinner.
I also love taking vacations with my husband and son. Be it a quick day trip, a weekend at the coast, or a week in Hawaii to visit family. I enjoy getting to explore new areas and find interesting things to photograph. But I especially love to get to capture my family during these trips. While photography may be my career, it still remains my biggest hobby.
My love of photography started in High School, where I enrolled in extended film photography classes with my mom's old Nikon from her own high school days. Although that camera is now retired, the fundamental knowledge I gained has continued to guide me as I evolve with photographic standards.
Instead of finding peace in the dark room, I now find it in my office while I edit. The process may have changed, but creating a meaningful and beautiful photograph will always bring me joy.
