Hello, I'm Samantha. But you can call me Sam!

​

I'm a photographer capturing all of Northern Nevada & Northern California. When I'm not photographing, you can find me laughing with my husband, snuggling my little one, pinning dreamy floral arrangements on Pinterest, or planning my next vacation!

 

 I strive to always be the most genuine version of myself, and to make others laugh till their bones hurt! I would describe myself as a vibrant, passionate, funny, creative, and empathetic person. I'm a detailed planner, a dreamer, and (hopefully) your new red-headed bestie! ;)​

​

I've been photographing portraits and weddings professionally for over seven years. I first picked up a camera when I was about eight years old and instantly fell in love, but it wasn't until high school that my passion for photography really blossomed. My goal as a photographer has always been to provide clients' with the most authentic photographs as possible, ensuring every photo feels as vivid as the memory itself. 

​

I pride myself on being able to produce candid and posed timeless images using mostly natural lighting. I would consider my style of photography true to color and all-encompassing.

​

I am inspired by light, nature, emotions, and connection. The way light dances on a mountain-top, the way a simple glance can say so much, and how nature’s beauty sets the perfect stage for the moments we share. Human connection fuels my creativity, and I am deeply inspired by relationships and moments - no matter how fleeting. It’s in the way two people look at each other, the laughter shared with friends, the quiet moments between family members—all of it moves me and pushes me to capture those feelings in my work.

​

I am drawn to the joy and excitement of life's big (and small) milestones-weddings, graduations, babies, and all the moments in between. I love finding little details and weaving them together into a timeless narrative for others. The small fleeting moments often tell the biggest stories- the texture of two hands held together, tears and laughs shared during a wedding ceremony, a hug from your best friend on your graduation day, and maybe even that little unusual habit your baby picked up... that will one day just fade away too. 

​

Throughout my time as a photographer, I've learned that there is nothing I love more than the connections I make with my clients. I am here to serve you! Not just to photograph your big day or capture a few good photos of your family - but to connect with you, be a part of the experience and help document all of your biggest celebrations in life! Whether that's graduating school, welcoming a new baby into the world, or committing to the love of your life. I am here to help celebrate with you, and to capture it as authentically as possible. Let's smile together!
