💜 HELP US SUPPORT THE SWANSON FAMILY 💜

I’m putting together a $10 giveaway to help support the Swanson family during an incredibly difficult time. Every entry will go directly toward helping this family while they navigate everything that has happened over the last few days. 🙏🏼

Brian Swanson had open-heart surgery on August 21st for SIX bypasses. Brian is the only one working and has several mouths to feed. While he is in the hospital recovering, his wife Crystal has been trying to stay by his side while also making sure her family and children are taken care of.

Then, on August 22nd, Crystal received a devastating phone call.

Some church friends had picked up her 8-year-old son, Luke, and her 5-year-old granddaughter, Kate, to take them to a birthday party. While they were on their way back, they were involved in a severe car accident.

💔 Luke was ejected from the vehicle and is currently in the ICU being closely monitored.

💔 Kate suffered a badly broken femur and is scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning, August 23rd.

This family is facing more than anyone should have to endure at once. With Brian recovering from major heart surgery and now Luke and Kate needing medical care, I want to do whatever I can to help take a little weight off their shoulders. 💜

📸 MODEL CALL — HELP ME BUILD MY PORTFOLIO 💜

I’m looking for a few amazing people who would love to help me grow SD Photography and build up my portfolio! ✨

I’m currently looking for models for:

💜 Couples
💜 Girls
💜 Best Friends
💜 Maternity
💜 48-Hour Fresh Newborns

✨ PLEASE NOTE: These model sessions are NOT free, but they will be offered at a discounted model rate as a thank-you for helping me build and expand my portfolio!

Why do I do model calls?
As a growing photographer, model sessions give me the opportunity to try new ideas, locations, poses, lighting, and editing styles while creating beautiful images that represent the kind of work I want to offer my future clients. 📸

It’s also a chance for YOU to get beautiful, professional photos at a discounted rate while helping a small, local photography business grow. 🥹💜

If you’re interested, send me a message with which type of session you’re interested in! Please feel free to tag someone who may be interested too!

I can’t wait to create some magic with you! ✨

Hi friends! 💜 If you’re new here, or you’ve been following along for a while, I thought it was time to properly reintroduce myself!

I’m Samantha, I’m 24 years old, a SAHM to two little boys and a stepmom to two boys. 💙💙💙💙 I’ve been with my husband for 5 years and married for 4, and our crazy, busy life is a huge part of who I am! 🥰

I’m also the girl behind SD Photography! 📸💜 What started as something I loved has grown into a business that I’m so incredibly thankful to have.

I absolutely LOVE capturing the moments that mean the most to you — families, couples, maternity, seniors, babies, branding, and all the little moments in between. My goal isn’t just to take pretty pictures. I want you to look back at your photos years from now and feel those moments all over again. 🥹🤍

Every session, booking, referral, like, comment, share, and kind word means more to me than y’all probably realize. You’re not just supporting a business — you’re supporting a mom and her dream. 🫶🏼

So if you’re new around here — WELCOME! 💜
And if you’ve been here for a while — THANK YOU for being here and supporting SD Photography! 📸
