Need to capture attention & leave a lasting impression?

 I became a photographer to help you do just that!

It all started when…

I learned to juggle - with a background in theatre arts, makeup artistry, costuming, and video production, I’m passionate about telling stories from every angle. The best part of my job is connecting with YOU, learning everything about your life (I’m nosy, what can I say!), and capturing the different elements of your character.

With my work in the disability space awarded by Getty Images x Verizon, I pride myself in truly getting to know people and showcasing who they are.

When it comes to photography, I truly am a jack of all trades. This array of experience is my greatest asset, because it allows me to have a holistic view of the process and a razor-sharp attention to detail. You were meant to be seen, heard, and celebrated. Step into the spotlight.

There is nothing I enjoy more than hyping you up!

HEY

I’M Sam

a california based photographer for the bold and eclectic!

You’re the main character, and I’m the loyal sidekick that supports your heroic journey.

My focus isn’t just on creating an iconic photo — it’s on building an experience that empowers you to step into your full potential, embrace your quirks, and feel seen and heard in a way that truly matters. I take the time to understand your vision and work with you to bring it to life. With a deep understanding of what it means to be different and fight to feel a sense of belonging, I am here to create a space where you can get comfortable, get creative, and—most importantly—get real. This is your journey; I’m here to capture the vibrant, unapologetic energy within you.

"I often feel disconnected from my body - but with each new look, I felt more connected and confident than ever."

There you have it - it's always more than just photos.

 A few of my favorite things

No.1 fave look to photograph:

anything with glitter or a fun print.

Dream concept to shoot:

a dramatic, glam take on xena, warrior princess - if that sounds up your alley, hit me up!

If I could eat one snack for the rest of my life it would be:

goldfish crackers and a coke zero. Yes, we have those in stock at the studio - and I'll share!

Fav animal:

rats! I have six (yes, on purpose!)

Fav album to blast during a shoot:

It changes weekly, but right now, it's Tick, Tick...boom!
