Capturing memories for people with big hearts, creative minds, and love stories to tell.
Telling your love stories to your kids while making cookies in the kitchen, soaking up spring sun while splashing and giggling in creeks with your little ones, the goosebumps on your grandparent's arms when you say your vows, these are the moments that mean everything. Whether you're looking to capture the start of your love story, the beginning of your family, the launch of a business, or your grandparents singing in the kitchen, I'm here for every single stage and wherever it takes you.
We are all so different and experience love in our own ways, that's how I want to capture you. If your love feels like takeout at home and playing board games, then let's document that. If your favorite date is a picnic on your family's land, just tell me where to be and I am all in.

Hi Friends - I'm Sam. Missouri Based Inclusive Traveling Photographer. Coordinator of chaos, chaser of golden light and official cool traveling aunt to three amazing nephews.
Looking for someone to calm your nerves and capture every detail of your love story? Lucky for you, I know just the person (If you didn’t guess, it's me). Your story is uniquely yours, and that's exactly how I want to capture it. My camera is practically an extension of my hand. When I say I document love stories, I don't just mean the traditional ones. I capture the passion you have for your business, the way your Grandpa gazes at your Nana or your love for your favorite places and activities. I adore beautiful weddings, adventurous elopements, giggle-filled family portraits and every slow and small moment in-between. I've had the privilege of documenting stories across 34 states and several countries outside the United States, and I'm just getting started!
Hey, I'm Sam! It's lovely to meet you!
Not only is Sam an incredible photographer, but an incredible person as well. If you’re looking for someone to advocate for you and your day, this is the photographer to choose. If you want someone that can switch up styles to make your imagination come to life, again choose Sam. She will fight for you, laugh with you, and celebrate with you throughout your event - whatever it may be. My wife and I were blessed to have her as the photographer of our wedding and, to no one’s surprise, she went above and beyond our expectations.

Sam is the absolute best photographer I have worked with. She has done boudoir, engagement, couples and elopement photos for me and I just fall more in love. The most recent photos were my husband and I's elopement in Washington state. The entire day ran smoothly and Sam's attention to detail, care for what we wanted and talent overall was impeccable. We truly couldn't be happier with our decision to have Sam be apart of our life moments!

Sam isn't just a photographer, she is someone who is invested in capturing a story. Someone who will dedicate hours and days to perfecting each pieace of the story from your shoot day into a detailed gallery. Sam has done our family photos and we loved them, but we fell in love with Sam LONG before that. Her peaceful, kind and loyal personality lead us straight into business with her when we realized she has the dedication and loyalty we were looking for as small business owners. Sam took our tiny breakfast restaurant and blew us up on social media.. Her photos capture their eyes, but the feeling she creates for our customers far and local is hunger. Hunger for more content from her and more delish down home cooking from us.

Most clients become part of my extended family, trusting me to document every chapter of their story, from maternity photos to watching their babies grow and even capturing precious moments with grandparents.
I remember your children's names, family milestones, and the little details that make your story unique. I become part of your village, your community. Every single celebratory joy, up and down, every promotion, loss and gain. I'm all about documenting your life changes and creating a space where you can be the real you. It's more like catching up with a friend than a formal photo session.
