“Sam is a true gem to work with. We had some mildly unfavorable weather at the scheduled start of our session, she was so accommodating to ensure that we were comfortable and got the shots and aesthetics that we wanted. Not only does she have a great eye for detail, but she was also amazing with our very shy two year old. We got beautiful family photos that truly capture our love and we had fun doing it! Thank you so much for preserving these beautiful memories for a lifetime.”
Testimonials
“When I contacted Sam for our elopement photos I wanted Sam and only Sam to do them. I’ve never had professional photos done, nor had I met Sam prior. I had a specific day I needed her, even though she was out of state and just landed that hour she still agreed to meet with us. Sam was a delight to work with, personally and professionally. Not only did she provide us with beautiful pictures we will forever cherish, she also gave us a good experience. We’ll be contacting her in the future for more pictures!”
Testimonials
“Sam photographed one of my best friends weddings, afterwards I knew I wanted her to capture my wedding. If you're wildly uncomfortable getting photographed like me, she’ll shoot compliment after compliment making you feel so confident. You really cannot find her style anywhere else. You won’t just feel like a client after working with Sam, but a friend. I feel so lucky to have found a photographer for the most important day of my life and one that I will want to shoot every major event going forward.”

“Sam makes photoshoots, which may seem nerve-wrecking at first, so much fun for everyone involved. I started out working with her on a couple's beach shoot. The entire experience was pure fun and effortless. We even took a dip in Lake Michigan for water shots!
The outcome was incredible. The photos were just gorgeous. Her style is very natural and earthy.
As a result, we came back for more for our engagement and wedding. I would highly recommend Sam ANY day, you won't regret it!”
Testimonials
“Sam is a joy to work with! During our engagement session, she always made sure we were comfortable. She had a great mix of posing us to do exactly what she wanted and also letting us be ourselves for her to capture the genuine moments. Her turn around time is very fast! She got us preview photos the same night after she took them and the full set after only a week! She does a fantastic job editing the photos and we're so excited for her to capture our big day! I highly recommend her for any photos you need!”

“Sam is amazing. She’s photographed our wedding, family photos with only 1 kiddo, and family photos with all 3 kiddos! She captured the most beautiful photos, even though we didn’t have all members of our family fully cooperative - and that is hard to do! She is such a sweet and old soul, and makes every shoot seamless and exciting. I recommend Sam over and over again, and I’ll always use her for our ever-growing family photos!”
Testimonials
“Sam was fantastic to work with! She was so nice, it felt like hanging out with an old friend. Sam’s very sweet husband also tagged along and helped wrangle in our two puppies while Sam took photos without the dogs. All of her photo ideas turned out great (she was also happy to use our ideas as well), she makes it a very fun process. We were never posed in awkward stances; she talked with us, and had us moving. All very natural photos that were fun! She made the entire process an enjoyable time!”
