HI, I’M SAMANTHA
I’m a fine art film photographer based in San Francisco, California. I specialize in families and weddings and serve clients all over California as well as destinations worldwide. My goal with every shoot is to create a set of images that represent your beauty, love and relationship in a genuine way. 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 nice camera to the day I started my business. I was always fascinated by art so I chose Art History as my major in college which led to an amazing job at an art gallery in San Francisco where I got to be surrounded by art and the people who loved it. I later quit so I could move to Texas to live with my husband who was in flight school. I struggled with culture shock and trying to find a purpose there until I rediscovered photography. I spent all my free time learning how to use my camera and a few years later I made it my full time job. My background in art helps inform my work which has been described as romantic, soft and timeless. I work hard to get to know my clients and make sure their true selves and natural interactions come through in the images we create together. My work is a mixture of posed, candid and directed images which come together to create a cohesive gallery filled with depth and beauty.

GET TO KNOW ME
If I wasn’t a photographer I would want to be a chef. Or a judge. Or a writer.
I was born and raised in California but I’ve also lived in Oregon, Washington, Massachusetts, Texas and Japan.
I can’t sleep in and wake up before the sun 95% of the time regardless of when I go to bed so I’m always down for a sunrise shoot!
I’m an INTJ, Enneagram type 5 and a Leo and I love chatting about personality types.
My favorite movie of all time is What About Bob and my favorite TV show is The Office.
Next up on my dream travel bucket list: Switzerland and Greece.
