We had so much fun on our elopement day. It was the type of day we want to experience all the time, not just reminisce about once in a while. Sam walked us through the process of planning an elopement in an easy and fun way. She was also so easy to talk to and now we've got a lifelong friend. We never felt rushed, but her timeline kept us on track while still allowing for flexibility. More...

Seeing Sam’s gorgeous, atmospheric photos I knew we would be lucky to have her photograph our Kauai elopement, and after our first Skype session I knew she’d fit in just perfectly with our little wedding day posse! We loved hanging out with her (and her hubby!) on the day and when we got our photos back I was stunned. So so grateful. More...

Our day went by in a blur and we were glad to have Sam capture all the memories we may have missed or forgotten. She made things super easy so we were able to focus on what was more important, which was experiencing the day together and enjoying ourselves. Sam was also quick to empower us to do whatever we wanted - whether that was going to a diner in our wedding attire, or getting matching wedding band tattoos! Our day was everything we could have wanted and we felt like Sam was just a friend that was helping guide us through it. More...

We loved our intimate wedding at Cape Kiwanda - though it went by way too fast! Sam had some great location advice and since she was guiding us through the day, we were able to let go of the reins and not worry about making decisions ourselves. She also helped us with the timeline of the day and it turned out her suggestion that we needed even more time than we thought was spot on. It enabled us to capture everything that was most important to us. Our wedding day and ceremony was simple and sweet - just what we wanted. More...

I did wedding photography for about 5 years in college, which was long enough to figure out that it is demanding, difficult, and stressful. I also gained enough experience to become very picky in how wedding pictures look. How good the images are, how cliche the poses. It’s amazing how much bad photography exists. I spent ten years in a photo lab printing bad pictures and knew I didn’t want that for myself. So, when I knew I was getting married, my absolute #1 priority was to find a good photographer. I even told my fiancé, now husband, that I’d spend more on the photographer than anything else. Because I have very high standards. Even the prospect of finding the right photographer felt overwhelming at first. From our first conversation, I was impressed with Sam’s knowledge, professionalism, and talent. And besides her portfolio, she’s also just a really kind, wonderful person. She helped me with deciding on wardrobe questions and finalizing a location. She had local experience that was invaluable. She gave me timelines and questionnaires to help make sure we had all our important content covered. The day of the wedding, she was instrumental in coordinating everything. She made me feel comfortable and beautiful. I’m pretty awkward in front of a camera and very self conscious. She made me laugh genuinely. She spoke with all my vendors and helped make everything perfect and special. She even got us surprise gifts that made the day incredibly memorable! And finally, the pictures were everything I ever thought they could be. Everyone who has seen them has commented on how beautiful they are. The composition and exposure are beautiful and she was able to capture pure, decisive moments that went by in an instant. I really can’t say enough about her. I’d recommend her to anyone who asked. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ More...

A lot of people say that you get what you expect a lot of the time. Not with Sam. I chose my senior trip to be with her, to Kaua’i, and to get my senior pictures done by her. I’ve seen her incredible work on my Distinguished Young Women’s pictures, so I could tell the pictures were going to turn out pretty bomb (that’s more slang Sam, it means really good). I went with her, MirandaLynnBeauty, and another good friend of mine, to stay on the island for a week. When I got there, I didn’t know what to expect, but the week went something like hiking cliffs at sunset, exploring the little shops, eating at incredible restaurants, experiencing weird fruit that would make your lips stick together, watching hula performances, enjoying a luau, hiking lava rock and steep, muddy miles, embracing the beauty of the island’s canyon, snorkeling in the water, learning how to complete an escape room (TWICE btw), all while laughing and smiling and creating some amazing memories with flawless hair and make up, getting our photos done on the most spectacular island. I still miss the trip and who I went with, but when I got home and received my pictures, there wasn’t anything else that could make me happier than in that moment. Sam’s photography is PHENOMENAL. There is no other person I would want to take my senior pictures, in a place that captures my background and where I come from. Sam knew perfectly the pictures I’ve had in my mind for years and years about what I wanted to represent me through my senior photo shoot. I could not imagine being any happier than I am now with my senior pictures and I highly recommend this incredible female to take anyone’s pictures. Disclaimer, she might also be one of the coolest cats you’ll ever meet, I know from personal experience. You know what you get with Sam? Not what you expect. You get laughs, memories, and beautiful pictures... something way better More...

Sam goes the extra mile. We were in doing a shoot in the Painted Hills and I watched her wade into a creek for a few shots without even thinking twice.
She’ll be worth your time, guaranteed.

I have known Sam for years and so when she decided to turn her passion of photography into a business, I was behind her 100%. She has excelled. Every photo, every encounter, and every experience has turned Sam into the must see photographer in Oregon. She captures people, places, and objects into images with her camera that are stunning! Will use her again and again! More...

Samantha took mine and my husband's engagement pictures last year -- absolutely fantastic and totally personable. We laughed more than we probably should have because we were in the snow and kept slipping around Diamond Lake, but it was perfect. Definitely beyond happy with how everything turned out! More...

Sam took our engagement and wedding photos and they are more beautiful than I could possibly have imagined. She captured so much more than images, she captured moments that we can always treasure. Having our picture taken is usually an uncomfortable experience for both me and my husband, but she so easily helped us forget the camera, allowing us to be ourselves. She is fun, engaging, imaginative, and incredibly talented, and I am so thankful to have met her on both professional and personal levels. If you're looking for stunning and unique images, Sam is your gal. More...

Sam does a wonderful job capturing personalities, and really makes a connection with each of her clients. She's always willing to try something new, and works hard to give you the photos that you're dreaming of. She is great at making you feel comfortable. It doesn't matter if you've never been in front of a camera, or if you're a seasoned pro.
I love the fact that she can send me my canvas prints in the mail! It really makes the experience complete, and they look great in my home.

Sam exceeded our expectations as a photographer! My fiancé and I are spontaneous, love nature and wanted more than the typical engagement shoot. We knew we did not want the cliché, posed shots that we see so often. We also had never had any professional photos done and were a little uncertain what to expect. Sam instantly made us comfortable about being in front of a camera. She captured us at our finest, weirdest and silliest (which is totally us!). We had a blast joking around with Sam and immediately realized we adored her and needed more Sam in our lives! We also had the greatest time together as a couple! We laughed and joked and got to run around the Redwoods, what better way to spend the day?! Sam picked the incredible spot as well, which took the stress off of me since I was across the country at the time of planning it. She kept in touch and still does, was great at communication; via email, phone and in person. I could not ask for any other images that actually tell our story and capture who we are as a couple. Plus, we got a nice wine tasting afterward!!! We highly recommend her if you want beautiful, personal and truly unique images. We already want more! More...

When we first came up with the idea to elope to Glacier National Park we talked to about 17 different photographers and weren't really sure what we wanted. ..until we talked to Sam. As soon as I spoke to her on the phone we connected and I knew there was no one else I would rather have in my corner to pull off the magical adventurous wedding I had in mind! Sam was super communicative, crazy knowledgeable, and just so much fun to work with! You can obviously see from her portfolio that her photos are incredible keepsakes, but what I wasn't expecting was what a sweet and fun experience she crafted for us with the combination of her effervescent personality and wilderness guile! In hindsight I can't imagine anyone else standing by our side (or climbing a rocky waterfall with us as it were). Do yourself a solid and cancel your wedding, hire Sam, and run away and marry your sweetie like you really want to! More...
