i think even the blurry ones are beautiful.
If you’re reading this…
We're not looking for Instagram perfect photos - we're capturing all of the perfectly imperfect during your session aka everything that makes you... you. I want you to be able to feel your photos, even years later.
HI! I'm Sam - I'm an introvert, travel loving, adventure seeking, inspiration finding, light seeker, home keeper, deep thinker, okay writer, body mover, nature feeler, heart protector, avid reader, enthusiastic eater, sometimes meditator empath just trying to find my way in this chaotic world and leave some good behind when I go.
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.
You will know when it happens during your session, I get giddy with excitement and I’ll usually shout “that’s the one!! we could stop right now!!” I pause to glance at the preview on the back of my camera and can visualize the final processed photo immediately. Maybe it makes me even happier because it’s something new I’ve been wanting to try or I have found a new lane of consistency that makes me feel like I am at my very best just for you.
I can only help but think, if I feel that way about a moment I’ve captured while photographing you and yours - how is it you must feel once you’ve realized that a memory of effervescence was frozen in space and time for as long as that physical photo is in existence? For you to remember, and share with your children, grandchildren and for them to look back at you one day with their own families. What a purely, awe-inspiring, gem of a juncture in time when you and I crossed paths.
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, and lets shine bright and fly high together.
