Stingray Photo Co. -Photos that make you feel-
Please inquire through website đź’« Hi, I'm Sam. I've been running around the Kansas City area with my cameras for 11 years now.

In all things, taking photos being no exception, "authenticity" is a word I always come back to. When I'm trusted with taking your portrait, I don't want to fit you, your style, or your passions into a box that is easy for me to photograph. I want to meet you where you are, whoever you are. Before dreaming STINGRAY Photo Co. into reality, I got my degree in English and Education. I've spent the la

st several years teaching students from across the globe how to read, write, and converse naturally and confidently in English. Classroom management? Family pictures at your wedding? I've got you. I'm a professional at making people feel at ease, and surprises don't scare me. I've been described as a "jack of all trades," so I feel comfortable and confident no matter what special memories you're wanting to capture -- or create -- through the art and science of photography.

​Nowadays, when I'm not photographing others, you can find me chasing tornados, stitching together a quilt, playing with flowers, or cheering on a Salvy home run. Can't wait to say "howdy" in person!

This moment right here represents everything I love about human connection, everything that draws me to document love stories for a living.
The vulnerability, the authenticity, the pure trust between two people, these elements create photographs that resonate across all boundaries and touch hearts universally.

Plot twist: they're actually this cute in real life too, and I'm pretty sure they had more fun during this shoot than I did trying to keep up with their energy! ❤️

Some moments are too precious for words, so I speak in photographs instead. 🤍

I’ve seen over and over that the most powerful photos come from vulnerability. Being open, being present, being together, and that’s where the real beauty lives.

Surprisingly, I love it when couples forget I’m even there. ❤️

Forget the “hold still and smile” approach. I guide my couples through movement – walking, spinning, leaning into each other. When you focus on each other instead of the camera, the results are genuine.

There’s always a moment in engagement sessions where couples stop performing and start being. It might happen when you’re laughing over an inside joke or walking hand-in-hand without thinking about it. That’s when I know I’m getting the real stuff.
