My family has done photos with Sami a few times now, and from first time we ever worked with Sami we knew she was a next level photographer. She was able to make us feel comfortable in front of a camera in a way we never have before. She really captured us as our true selves instead of as our posed picture perfect selves. We love working with her and her beautiful work she has done hangs all over my home.

I want to start by saying that we have immense gratitude for Sami and her work. She captured the biggest day in our lives and the sweetest smallest moments. You will have to ask her about the story behind the feather coat. The pictures that followed are the most "us" I have ever seen. Upon seeing the photos, my dad stated that not only was the coat completely necessary to the day, so was Sami. We cannot say enough about how perfectly Sami captured us, our loved ones and our day. She goes above and beyond.

The pure magic that Sami has captured for us, the life moments, and huge milestones are priceless and irreplaceable. They are keepsake, print worthy, photos we will be sharing with our family for generations. Not only is she an absolute joy to work with but she creates BOMB photographs too! She stays true to feeling and the colors of her surroundings while telling the story and conveying emotion. She is a true talent and will become your instant friend and photog for life!

The original hype woman! If you want to feel like an incredible super woman on your wedding day or for any occasion hire Sami! She was incredible from start to finish. She did our engagement shoot and the photos came out beyond beautiful. For our wedding Sami’s energy was the perfect fit! She was amazing in guiding us to take the best pictures. She is a true artist! If you hire anyone but Sami for your wedding you are missing out. We cannot thank her enough!!

My fiancé ended up reaching out to Sami and planned a surprise engagement photoshoot and I cannot even begin to express how amazing it is to have that moment captured on camera. The pictures are absolutely perfect and something we will cherish forever!! Sami is so talented and truly makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. My fiancé and I immediately knew we wanted Sami to photograph our wedding as well after we received the engagement photos. She really is the perfect third wheel through life.

We had Sami take our photos for our pregnancy announcement and all I can say is WOW! Sami was just as excited as we were and even took the time to give me ideas for the shoot. She’s so easy going and made it really fun and relaxed the whole time. Our pictures are beautiful, and exactly what we wanted! I can’t stop looking at them!
