A photographer for every chapter

We're not looking for Instagram perfect photos

We're capturing all of the perfectly imperfect moments during your session aka everything that makes you... you. The moments in-between. The quiet and the seen. The joyful and the content.

We're searching for your candid moments, stoic poses, the beauty in the chaos, and all of the still frames that command your heart to be still.

Not with perfection - but the imperfections that make you perfect.

I want you to be able to feel your photos, even years later.

Here for you in Western Loudoun Virginia and beyond

where ever you want to go, I want to be there with you, documenting every moment you breathe in and every touch felt.

Hi, my name is Sam...

... and I love to be inspired.

I find inspiration in the smallest ways. I pay attention to every one of my senses during a moment of revelation to keep the feeling as long as possible. It’s usually when I feel a rush of creativity and I just have to fill a journal page, poorly doodle with my daughter's crayons, sing, dance, or yes - even pickup my camera.

To me, this must mean this journey I have found of pushing the shutter button and making permanent those magnificent, tiny, fractions of seconds means something.

I live for those magnificent moments.

They inspire me.

I hope to have the opportunity to create magic and capture your fractional moments of inspiration.

Come as you are, exactly as you are now.

One quick story about me...

When I was 13, our dinosaur of a computer crashed and ALL OF OUR DIGITAL IMAGES were wiped. I have nothing from my teenage-hood, and because printing was expensive and not easy - I don't really have much from my entire life before 19. This was in the age of transition from printing to digital. The transition went fast. Overnight we forgot about our throw away cameras and picked up a point and shoots. If you're wondering why I prioritize albums, wall art, and prints over digital files this is why. I always tell my clients - use the digitals as a backup and for your online presence. The album you buy now is not for now... it is for later, when your babies have babies and they need a tangible item to hold on to when they no longer have you.

Another quick story about me...

When I was 16, I got in trouble, grounded to a chair for an entire day (yes friends this was the 90s). In a moment of compassion, to help fill the time, my aunt snuck me a "how to" book on photography. I remember snippets of tips from that book still to this day. In that moment of empathy from a woman that didn't tend to show it much, I FELT her feeling for me - that is probably why it stuck so hard in my core memories.

For these two reasons, and many more, I am here today, constantly seeking moments of feeling and capturing them in this artform. I am here to find your messy memories and help make them last. To give you a piece of me in every photograph I take for you.

And I am grateful, humbled, and honored to do so.
