Life lately has kept us busy, but it’s also shifted our focus to what matters most. 🌸

We made it through our first year of parenthood 😮‍💨 and celebrated our sweet Ellie Mae turning ONE. I’m still not okay… but so excited to keep watching our girl grow. Motherhood is beautifully bittersweet. 😢
We’ve jumped back into traveling and are already looking forward to the adventures ahead. 🏔️
I’m back in the kitchen baking and creating again - I forgot how much I missed it.

So much we could say, so much still to come.

📸 I’m officially reopening my calendar for family, couples, seniors, more recipe content, and real estate/property sessions. Reach out - I’d love to work together! 🥳

Happy (yesterday) 2nd Birthday to little Miss Hadley! 🍩

There’s something truly special about photographing growing families in their own homes. 🏡 It is where true memories are made & the comfort of familiar spaces allows for the most genuine moments to shine — snuggles on the couch, playtime on the floor, laughter in the kitchen over coffee, and the beauty of everyday love.

After taking some time off to see how this pregnancy would go for me, I am happily energized & back in action to start accepting bookings! 📸

Whether it be cozy home spaces, building a snowman outside, venturing around your favorite park, walking your neighborhood, or ice skating adventures — let’s capture some moments of you and your significant other and/or family making memories.

If it’s indoors, I will be masking up and all I ask is that we make sure no one has been symptomatic or around a sick individual prior to your scheduled photo session date. Because as many of you mamas know, being sick while pregnant is the worst. 🙈

Whether it’s a cake smash or a sweet outdoor session, these moments are meant to be remembered forever. 💛

If your little one’s big day is coming up, let’s create memories that you’ll cherish for years to come. 🤍📷

Hello everyone!

I hope you’re all doing well and enjoying these last bits of summer. ☀️ After much reflection, I have decided to take a step back from social media for a bit unless it’s business related. Photography has been and will always be a huge passion of mine. I have loved sharing my adventures, my life, & the beautiful images I have captured for my amazing clients over the years. ❤️

Life has been a bit of a whirlwind these last two months, which has caused me to take pause and to reflect on what’s most important. Although there have been some difficult times, there have also been many lovely ones. 🫶🏼

I am a silver lining person and therefore I have continued to choose to embrace the positives I find. Despite the difficulties, please know that I am doing very well and am, in fact, happier than I have been in a long time.❤️ I know a part of that has been due to the lack of social media usage.

So I have decided a continued break is what is best. To continue to heal, enjoy life, and simply be present for more adventures, hobbies, and the plans my husband and I have. Life truly is too short to be distracted by things like social media.

📝 ** CURRENT & POTENTIAL CLIENTS: I want to assure my amazing clients & those looking for a storytelling photographer that I’m still accepting sessions & photographing homes! Feel free to reach out to me via email or through my website to book.

📸 ** PHOTOGRAPHER FAMILY: I plan to stay connected with you for inspiration, collabs, coffee dates, etc. Feel free to reach out to me if you don’t already have my number!

With great love,
Samantha 📷

Anyone else appreciate the details captured during a photo session? 🙋🏼‍♀️ I love the ability to freeze time for families in a heartfelt way.

Whether it’s the love found in holding hands, of little hands and feet, or a tender touch one does unprovoked and naturally … it all tells the story of a family’s love more than any posed moment ever could.

Because these are all genuine moments.
—— & that’s what I love most about storytelling photography.

🪴 Having your family photo session in your vegetable garden can offer a unique & *personal* backdrop. ✨

🌱 If you and your family spend a lot of time here, it can add a personal and meaningful touch to your photos.
🌱 It can provide a familiar & relaxed environment — which makes for more candid & genuine photos. Especially with the little ones!
🌱 It’s a great opportunity to capture moments of family members engaging with the garden & each other, whether you’re planting, harvesting, or simply enjoying the space you created together.

The more you personalize your storytelling photo session, the more genuine the photos. Let’s capture the beauty & magic of your family’s moments amidst the natural splendor of your own vegetable garden! 🥕🍅
