I'm samantha
Hey there friend!
I have been married to my handsome husband for 13 years and counting. We have two wonderful babies together and our four legged bagel (basset beagle) named Bogey that completes our family. Our oldest (affectionately referred to as A) is calm, well behaved and the youngest (lovingly called KK)is our wild, head strong child.
Though, I never look as amazing as this photo. My hair is actually quite curly and often in a bun of some sort. Most times, it looks like I stuck my finger in an electrical socket!
After photographing people for over a decade, I have found my passion is for weddings and adventure. It’s where I started and where my heart has always been. I love how it’s your own glamorous day surrounded by so much love from family and friends! ❤️
I'm a photographer, graphic designer, creative, and mother to two of the finest children this side of the Mississippi!
WHEN I’m NOT PHOTOGRAPHING WEDDINGS and portraits, YOU will FIND me
spending time
with family
We enjoy being outdoors hiking through whatever little bit of nature we can find. Exploring through the eyes of our youngest child has given us a bit of wanderlust. Traveling together is our favorite past time.
Eating all the
sushi
i love sushi sooo much that when my son was 4 he was asked to fill out some facts about mom for mother's day. One of the questions asked, "what is your mom's favorite food?" he said, "Sushi, she can't stop eating it and It is so gross." while it is true that i am mostly a sushi lover, i have a love for food in general. So combing food and travel is a big win for me!
Visiting the
mountains
THE PIGEON FORGE/GATLINBURG AREA IN TENNESSEE IS OUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME! i love driving through the mountains and breathing that mountain air. Because of us visiting there so much, i have become obsessed with bears. They are the cutest, fluffiest and most ferocious creatures out there. mama bear for the win!
planning my next
adventure
I have made a bucket list of places I want to see. Big bonus if it happens to include a wedding!
- ireland
- scotland
- england
- Italy
- iceland
- france
- japan (eat all the sushi)
Stateside: ALL 50 states & canada!
Visiting
Disney
did someone say minnie mouse? disney world is truly a magical place. as an adult it is tiring and draining, but to see the joy on the faces of my kids just fills my heart all the way up and re-energizes me! Their eyes are alert and they smile an adorable overwhelming smile the whole time they are there! thank goodness for photographs to help them remember!
IF I HAD TO DESCRIBE THIS BUSINESS IN THREE WORDS, THEY WOULD BE
joyful, ADVENTUROUS and genuine.
What I Do
THE HEART BEHIND
Adventure. I cannot think of two better things to join together than love and adventure. I love to travel and explore! My job allows me to serve people in a way that expresses themselves and tells a story of who they are. I get so fired up when clients tell me about their wedding plans or their idea for their session. I love hearing what color's you are using for your wedding and challenging myself to create something very special for you to look back on for years to come!
