All About Me
come check out my love stories
That wasn’t the start of my photo journey by any means. I went to school for photography, graduating from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2015 with a degree in Imaging & Photographic Technology. I have a plethora of film cameras and actually develop my own color film from time to time!
I started my wedding photography business in 2020 & I am based in Metro Detroit.
Hey, it's Sam!
ready to connect?
For real real, my husband and I are currently outfitting our 1967 van into a camper. While we are on the disco train, I love all things 70s vibe. Add a bit of boho & voila!
long hikes, Michigan camping, kayaking, & hopping in the hippie van.
I love adventures:
I’m into watercolor painting, I’ll draw you a tattoo on my ipad, & while I’m at it I’ll do your tarot reading. Into all things witchy. A little bit bitchy (not actually, I’m just sarcastic & a bit awkward in a fun way).
Catch me out here with all kinds of hobbies:
I’m artsy fartsy
A druid half-elf when playing Dungeons & Dragons, alignment Chaotic Good, Ravenclaw in HP land, & a friend of Groot (Guardians of the Galaxy being my fav movie).
Certified nerd (not actually a real certification, sorry)
I am a:
let's do this!
When I photograph I put my heart and soul into it. I do it because it brings me genuine joy to capture your love & bring the joy of nostalgia to you.
A lot of crazy talk, but I am a great listener, fiercely loyal, and consider myself an empath.
i know what this might sound like:
Brennan & Kelsey
What you can't see is her empathetic, fun, & take-charge approach. While we were getting ready, she was scoping out locations, coordinating with the hotel manager and our guests, and taking detail photos.
When it was time for our couples photos, her positive energy and confidence as the inflection point from when I went from being anxious and stressed to finally feeling excited and starting to have fun. She engaged us in ways so she could capture the beautiful and genuine moments between my wife and I."
"Sam's photos speak for themselves."
She was extremely professional throughout the entire photo shoot and helped capture our most natural moments.
“Samantha made sure we felt comfortable and prepared for our engagement shoot and wedding day photos by doing a virtual meeting with us beforehand to discuss our vision and logistics. She was extremely professional throughout the entire photo shoot and helped capture our most natural moments. We were impressed with the efficient turnaround time on receiving photos, and we love the way each of her prints artistically captured the moment with sincerity!”
Brandon & Rachel
If you’re looking for stylized, timeless photos for your engagement or wedding, she’s your girl!
“Working with Sam for our engagement photos was my fiancé and I’s first experience together with a professional photographer - and to say we were nervous about how we were going to be in front of a camera is an understatement. Right away, Sam made us feel so comfortable, using great cues and direction to get the perfect shot. We were AMAZED at what we received! Her style and eye for a good shot is second to none and we cannot wait for her to shoot our wedding. ”
