THE EXPERIENCE
My focus goes beyond simply taking pictures; it's about creating a comfortable environment where your true emotions can shine.
WHAT MAKES The motherhood Experience With Me DIFFERENT
Say goodbye to the stress of family photos—I've got you covered! When you book with me, you get access to my client closet, so no need to worry about what everyone’s wearing. You’ll have a beautiful selection of outfits for moms and kids to choose from. Plus, I know all the best locations and the perfect timing to capture those dreamy moments.
But the most important thing during your session isn't the outfits... it's how you feel. I’m here to make sure you’re comfortable and having fun, because that’s when the magic happens! I focus on capturing the real moments—the candid laughs, the sweet looks, the little quirks that make your family unique. These photos will be more than just pictures—they’ll be memories you look back on, remembering the love and the chaos of this stage in life.
And of course, I’ll capture your kids’ personalities as they grow, plus some special shots of you and your partner—because your love story matters, too. In the end, this isn’t just about getting pretty photos—it’s about creating keepsakes that capture how you felt in these moments.
Want to take it up a notch? You can add a session video to really bring your family’s vibe to life.
here's how this thing works
01. Inquire
Your journey to capturing beautiful family memories starts here. Reach out to me with your inquiry, and I’ll respond with all the information you need to get started. This is the perfect time to ask any questions and share your vision for the photoshoot.
02. Booking and Planning
Let's make things official! When you're ready to book I'll create an online portal for all your important documents! First up are your contract and retainer - once those are taken care of then your family photo date is locked into my calendar! But we can't forget about the other goodies. This includes choosing a location from my location guide, and selecting outfits from our specially curated wardrobe for moms and kids. Or giving suggestions if you want to provide your own! We'll also discuss any additional details like hair and makeup, to ensure everything is tailored to your family's style and preferences.
03. Session Day
It's showtime! On the day of the session, we'll meet at the chosen location, where you can relax and enjoy the experience while I capture your family. Family photos look different for everyone depending on what stage of like you're in! Whether you're announcing your pregnancy or you're doing full family photos I’ll guide you through the process. We get both group shots, photos of you with each child, and individual portraits of each child, capturing their personalities at this stage in life.
04. Gallery Delivery
You can expect to receive your online gallery approximately two - four weeks following your session. This gallery will be your first glimpse at the beautiful moments we've captured, available for you to view and share with loved ones from the comfort of your home. Most importantly, you can highlight your favorite images for your album design and wall art. I will get those images off of your computer screen, and into your everyday life.
From the start, Sam made us feel comfortable and we really have enjoyed working with her. Sam provides specific instruction while photographing you which makes it so much easier. She is so much fun to work with, and genuinely cares about the couples she works with. Overall, Sam went above and beyond all expectations we had, and we highly recommend her!!
"We truly felt lucky to have found Sam."
Treva & Bryan
Sam has taken out photos from engagement through newborn! One of the best things about being in front of her camera is that she compliments you the entire time which makes it such an effortlessly fun time for the couple.
"It was like going on a trip with a friend we had known for years!"
Tara & Scott
Sam is a pro and knows exactly what to do to capture all aspects of the wedding. Both of our families commented on how much they liked and appreciated our photographer and how she handled the extended family! And of course she delivered beautiful photos and memories for us to cherish!
"From the start, Sam had a warm and inviting presence."
Kate & Camron
She was so helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process and was there to offer advice and give input whenever I had a question. She worked so well with all of our family members and guests, too! All of my bridesmaids fell in love with her and her bubbly personality! The photographs were more perfect than I could have ever asked for! She captured every detail and moment perfectly, and I'm so thankful to have those photos to look back on for years to come!
"Sam is someone I truly consider to be a friend."
Lisa & Jarret
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
— Aaron Siskind
I offer two session options to fit your needs—whether you're looking for something quick or a more in-depth experience. Each session includes access to my client closet, a full experience guide, a private online gallery for downloading high-res images, and personal printing rights. Additional prints, albums, and keepsakes are available for purchase.
From announcements to family portraits, I’m passionate about capturing authentic emotions and connections. Investing in photography preserves your memories, letting you relive the laughter, love, and details of your life. Let me be your visual storyteller, delivering timeless images that will remind you of the magic and joy in your journey.
