capturing moments that will stand the test of time

Life is short and time never slows down. My favorite part of photography is being able to take photos that will make you feel like time is standing still.  Having that moment captured to always look back on and that can be passed down to generations to come is what legacies are made of. During our shoots I like to make my clients feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, make them feel confident and love the results. I want our time together to be raw with laughter and for us to get to know each other so I can capture your real and authentic selves through my lens.

Of course we will get THE shot first, but in those moments of kids running on the beach or building a sand castle, a shot of two people in love or a soon to be mother grasping her belly with a smile.. those are the moments in time I want to document for you. So blessed to get to meet so many people in this career of mine. I can’t wait to meet you!

ABOUT

meet samantha

I have a true passion for interiors. I appreciate all styles in homes, especially enjoy detail photos of precious items collected and placed around the home. Being a collector myself I know how each piece represents a memory of a place or time in ones life. My collection of shells has surpassed my hanging printers boxes and fill jars, bowls and even lamps now.

With my family of varying personalities, to include our dog, it’s no different. We chose an idyllic setting - Ft. Fischer at sunset it was just gorgeous! When we arrived we were quickly met by a swarm (I kid you not in all of the years I’ve lived in the south I’ve never seen anything like it) of mosquitoes. Sam immediately gave directions and moved quickly as it was anything but idyllic at that point. We weren’t even there for a max of 10 minutes. Seemingly unimpressed we hoped something turned out! When the pictures came back the smiles and happiness and love were overwhelming to say the least - how did she manage to capture such raw emotion in spite of such an uncomfortable scenario? Pure talent.

As a mom herself she knows taking pictures with toddlers can be challenging, but she was very patient and understanding, and made us all feel very comfortable throughout the session. She’s not afraid of playing with the sunlight, and the end result turned out AMAZING (we are obsessed with our photos!) Thank you Sam for capturing our family so beautifully, and giving me photos that I will treasure forever. I will forever be grateful for this opportunity and I look forward to seeing you again *soon*!!

Our family photos with her were so fun, and yet so relaxing!

What a blessing it is to have met you, Sam!

over the last three years during our beach week. You accomplished the IMPOSSIBLE with 16 family members grandchildren ranging in age from 4-15. You make it fun for the children and your photos reflect it. You have such a knowledge of the proper lighting and special beach locations which captured perfect candid memories for all.   My husband and I as well as our three grown children used you photos for our Christmas cards. It made the start of the holidays stress free. This is the highest compliment. Please feel free to use me as a reference for anyone looking for STUNNING family beach photos.

for taking the most incredible photos of our family

Dear Samantha, thank you

It was hastily assembled by our friends during a pandemic and after a ceremony watched online by loved ones but attended by only seven, including the bride and groom, but it was the best reception ever. And Sam captured it all. The laughter, the fun, the joy, the love. Plus all the little touches that our friends had thought of. The things that make you go “awww”. It was probably the hottest and most humid day of the summer but Sam quietly snapped away and made everyone look great. She was asked to photograph the event with short notice and she delivered her beautiful photos in short order. This year our daughter and her hubby have given us a grandson to celebrate and we’ve already lined Sam up for a family photo shoot with all of us in August

It wasn’t your typical reception with lots of planning.
