“Color is a power which directly influences the soul.”

-Wassily K.

You’ve got questions, I’ve got answers!

What Do I wear?

Don’t stress! If you aren’t sure what to wear, I will send you a custom Pinterest board of ideas to get your brain juices flowing! For you ladies, I also offer a stocked Client Closet full of dresses you can choose from! When in doubt, don’t be afraid to play with colors and patterns in different pieces of clothing. :)

What if my child has a meltdown?

Tiny humans have big feelings! Meltdowns don’t scare me and are very very okay. During your session my goal is for your little one to see me as a friend, not as a stranger with a camera shoved in their face. If a meltdown occurs, we will simply pause the session or focus on another family member until things have settled.

How do I know how to pose?

I’ve got you! This is 100% something you don’t even need to worry about! I will give you specific direction during your shoot that will involve lots of movement so that you never feel stiff or frozen.

what if it rains

As much as I wish I could control the weather, I can’t. However I do pay close attention to the forecast for several days leading up to your session. If rain appears to be an unavoidable issue, we will simply reschedule. :)

how May photos do I get back & long will it take?

Each session is unique in that certain sessions I offer have a set number of images, while others do not. For all portrait sessions, turnaround time is 2-3 weeks!

Do i pick our session location?

Most of the time I will be the one to pick the location, but you are always welcome to tell me if there is a specific place you have in mind!

Reviews

“Sam’s style of editing sold me so fast!! The way she guided us was so amazing, I hadn’t had that before. So much appreciated!! The best experience every time, & I am so obsessed with the photos, that I print them and put them all on my living room wall!”

- Courtney L.

"Goodness, I knew Sam was the way to go for my birth and newborn session. She was so kind and encouraging and flexible! I love the gorgeous atmosphere she brings to the session, but also within the photographs. Thank you so much, Sam!"

- Kim B.

"Sam has captured my portrait many times. Here are three truths that are incredible and comforting to know: You will feel comfortable, you will feel like your session is so quick, you’ll be utterly shocked and perfectly pleased by what she was able to get! You will never regret getting photos done - value and quality is outstanding!"
