Don't wait to celebrate those most important to you.
Have you ever said, "We're too busy to plan this right now. Let's come back to it when life calms down"? I know I have, but my family schedule never seems to settle, and I end up never following through.
Life moves quickly, and if you wait for the "right time" to plan your portrait session, you might find yourself with years' worth of snapshots stored on your phone but no family portrait to display.
Having custom wall art allows you to showcase your loved ones and bring warmth into your home. Let's create something special that adds character to your space and reflects the joy, laughter, and love that fill your life.
Take action today-- lets transform your walls into a celebration of your family!

"We had Samantha Sumner do our daughter's senior pictures. She was awesome! I wish we would have had her for our first 2 kids' pictures. Samantha was wonderful with my daughter. Flexible, easy-going sessions at her beautiful recommendations for locations resulted in stunning photos for her graduation announcements and prints. Samantha is fast in responding, a joy to work with, and her work product is worth every penny! We are thrilled!"

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.
