Hey, I'm Sam, couple and family photographer based in beautiful Orange County, California. My lens writes what words can't say, each frame capturing how my heart sees you in your own world of love while providing a space for you to really connect. I capture the stories that live in the in-between - tender, true, and entirely yours.
DOCUMENTING your now, FOREVER

I'm a California native and visual storyteller on a connection-driven mission to help you see, through my photos, the beauty that everyone else already sees in you. I’m endlessly fascinated by the human experience—the messy, beautiful, unposed parts. I embrace the double chins, the full-body laughter, the flaws and folds, because they are living proof of love, presence, and a life that’s been truly felt.

Jenny & Brett
From the beginning Sam made us feel so comfortable and at ease. She let us play around while also guiding us in the most natural and stress free way. We walked away from that photoshoot feeling so relaxed and happy!"
"Sam exceeded our expectations.
EMMA & LOGAN
She is the most personable person and it shows in her photography. Doing a session with her was so fun because she makes everything a party. She made us feel so so confident and is so easy to be comfortable around. She has such an artistic vision for her photos and she puts her all into each moment she captures. I’d recommend anyone to get their photos done with this gem of a human."
"Sam's sincerity shows through HER photos.
SARAI & FRANCISCO
From the moment we booked her, she went above and beyond to make us feel like her top priority. Her kind, sweet, and energetic personality made the session even more special. Sam stayed in contact with us afterward, and we now consider her a friend. Her stunning pictures captured every moment perfectly and were even featured in our prestigious local magazine."
"WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER.
SARAH & PRESTON
Sam made our proposal experience so amazing! Not only did she help ensure our photo spot was perfect, but she made the whole process so easy, which took a weight off my shoulders and allowed me to focus on my bride to be. I was able to reach out to her months in advance and she stayed communicative up until the minute I proposed. She made both my fiancée and I feel so comfy when taking pictures together which really made the moment feel even more magical."
"THE MOMENTS WERE MAGICAL.
HAYLEY & TYLER
From pre-session planning to gallery delivery, she was so prompt with responding and making sure I knew where we were at in the process. She ensured we were fully aligned on the location, time, and session vibes. Sam made us feel so comfortable from the second we met her! Her warmness and genuine spirit made our session feel like a completely judgment-free zone where we could be ourselves. We’ve never had that much fun during a session!"
