Hi, I'm Sam Schinsky, your family's photographer

you have a nail girl, you have a hair girl... let me be your photo girl.

Every family has a story
My grandma was the first person to ever print and frame one of my images. When I sent it to her she said "there is a story here, Sam... I wonder what it is". Since her passing, I've taken that framed photo and remind myself every time I look at it that my work matters in every chapter of every life. After all, this one image meant something to her and she wasn't even connected to it. Every time I pick up my camera I am giving the scene a story to hold on to, to live up to, to give it essence and life. There is no getting around it, every photo holds a story, and I am absolutely obsessed with finding each and every one of them - including yours.
