My Work

I capture the magical joy-filled moments you never want to forget. From the announcement through the family holiday card. We'll start each session with a classic looking at the camera smiling family photo before having a really fun and playful session.

Motherhood Highlights

My focus goes beyond simply taking pictures; it's about creating a comfortable and enjoyable environment where your true emotions can shine. 

WHAT MAKES The motherhood Experience With Me DIFFERENT

Say goodbye to the stress of planning family photos! I'm here to make everything easy and fun for you. Imagine not having to worry about outfits or hair and makeup – because I've got it all covered! Included in your session fee is access to my client closet! A beautiful wardrobe selection specifically for moms and kids, making it a breeze to find the perfect look for your family. Want to add a touch of glamour? Professional hair and makeup can be easily included, ensuring you look and feel your best. Plus, I've scouted out all the best locations and have great timing suggestions to capture those magical moments.

But that's not all – I understand how precious each stage of your child's life is. That's why I focus on capturing each kid individually, showcasing their unique personalities and preserving these fleeting moments as they grow. And let's not forget about you, the parents! Amidst the family chaos, your love story remains the foundation. So, we always include special photos of just the two of you, celebrating your relationship and the journey you're on together. With me, your family photos will not only be an enjoyable and effortless experience but a beautiful journey through the stages of your family's life, creating memories you'll cherish forever.

Plus you can add on a session video - really showcasing your family in the stage of life they're in now!

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 just announcing 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

She really cared about what I was wanting for that day and made it all happen. All my guests loved her and appreciated that she also captured them as well. Every single photo I loved and appreciated beyond words. The pictures were dreamy and something out of a fairy tale.

"Sam makes you feel apart of something special."

Shannon & Jake

Hanging out on the beach in little Corona Del Mar was such a fun way to capture the Guthries family photos! We'll always make sure to capture the classic smiling at the camera portrait, but I love to let your kids and family have fun!
