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!!

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!

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 couldn’t be happier with how the photos from our session turned out! This was our first time working with Sami and it was the best experience we’ve ever had with a photographer. She was great with our boys and it was so amazing to have a whole hour to go at the pace we needed to. The whole experience exceeded all expectations we had and we can’t stop raving about her to all of our friends and family. She's our photographer for life.

We are so thrilled that we were able to have Sami shoot our engagement photos! She was so sweet and made us feel comfortable immediately. On the drive home we couldn’t stop talking about how much fun we had (we are not usually into having our photos taken so this is exciting). Overall, the experience was so natural and special. We cannot wait to have Sami capture our wedding day. We know she will be able to really get the vibe and love of our day!

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!
