capturing moments in lives that go by so fast that only photos can retell
| based in castle rock, colorado |
A natural light photographer based in Castle Rock, Colorado and surrounding areas. My weakness are images that tell a story - your story. During your session, we can go anywhere, even your home. You love fishing? Let's go. Hiking? I'll grab my boots. Have a farm? Sounds like a dream. Staying cozy on your couch? Yes, please. Whatever it is, I want to tell your story & this time in your lives.
WELCOME
about me
I'm a wife, a mother to two beautiful girls, a photographer, and a homemaker. You can usually find me baking or enjoying the sun either camping, fishing, hiking, or paddle boarding when I don't have my camera in hand. We are originally from Mesa, Arizona before finding our dream home - a little cabin in the woods near Castle Rock, Colorado where we raise our daughters to be feral little things.

-Savannah
From the beginning Sam was easy to communicate with and provided all the details, tips, and information we needed. She was so personable and kind. She made the entire experience extremely comfortable and easy. We got our sneak peeks within a day and we are in love with the photos. I cannot recommend her enough! We will use her for any future picture needs!
-Gaby
Sam did an amazing job directing us, communicating, and making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. she captured us wonderfully and now we have beautiful pictures to look back on and remember.
-Krystie
Sam is absolutely wonderful! Professional, talented, flexible, creative and overall sweet and kind to work with. She has photographed many different sessions for myself and my family over the years - I will continue to use her and recommend her to others.
- elizabeth
Sam was incredible for our photos! Very easy and quick to communicate, adapted to changes in desired location for our shoot, and made us feel as comfortable as possible while photographing.
- amanda
I have done many different shoots with Sam and every time they are amazing! She listens to what my inspiration for the pictures are, and then takes the time to research and add to the ideas before shooting. She is fun and easy to work with during- will guide you as much or as little as you want

Perfect for the families, ,maternity, and newborns that want to capture their everyday life. Let's romanticize those "mundane" moments, because let's be honest - those moments are actually so special and worth remembering. We'll come up with a few activities to do while I am there, and let the kids lead. For newborns, we'll still go around your home and capture the sweet moments like playing with their tiny hands and feet, squishing those lovable chunky cheeks, and cuddling for those contact naps. I will also still take some posed, smiling at the camera images for you to utilize as well!
