“She makes you feel right at home in your own skin and she spends the time to really capture the essence of who you are. Her edits are raw, authentic and creative. She captures the real life of it, and not the posed studio images we’ve come to expect for these memories. I would recommend Samantha to anyone who wants to document their journey from bump to birth!”

“I loved our photoshoot with Sam! She was relaxed and easy going which is so important with small kids.
