HI, I’M SAMANTHA

I’m a photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. I specialize in maternity, newborn and family portraits shot on medium format film. I’ve loved taking pictures for as long as I can remember but it took me about a decade from the time I got my first camera to the day I started my business. I was always fascinated by art so I studied Art History at the University of San Francisco which led to a job at an art gallery downtown. I eventually quit to live with my husband and his job as a fighter pilot has since taken us all over the world. I started my business in 2018 when we were living in Japan and brought it to San Francisco in 2021. My background in art helps inform my style which has been described as romantic, soft and timeless. Each session gives me the opportunity to create a set of images that represents your love and connection in an authentic and natural way. To do that, I combine posed, candid and directed images to create a cohesive gallery filled with depth and beauty.
