Top 10 My Humble Beginnings...
I got my first camera when I turned 16, and fr om then on it was rare to find me without it on hand. I forced impromptu photo shoots with friends, took pictures of everything and everyone that I could, and when it came time for graduation, I knew my path was headed towards making a career out of my passion for photography.
I attended the Hallmark Institute of Photography in Massachusetts, and graduated in 2010. After graduating I moved to NYC to intern with Studio D in Hearst Tower, wh ere I worked on accounts like Cosmopolitan, Elle, and the Food Network, all while sleeping on an air mattress in a 3-bedroom apartment shared by 6 people, a dog and a bird– it doesn’t get more NYC than that!

Sam is truly amazing person and photographer. First off, every conversation you have with Sam, whether it be a phone call or texting, she truly cares about the small details and wants your day to be perfect. We knew we made the right decision when we got back our engagement photos - they were beautiful! Days leading up to the wedding Sam was fully available to answer any and all questions. As an experienced wedding photographer she was able to gave helpful suggestions and ideas. She went through the shoot list, making sure she knew who everyone was and perfecting the days timeline. She is not only your wedding photographer, but she treats you like you have known her for years. She goes above and beyond for her clients and I cannot recommend her enough. She is one of the best in the business! We are so thankful we chose her to photograph our special day!
Samantha did our wedding and engagement photos. We love them all! She’s amazing to work with and made sure to capture our personalities so the pictures truly felt authentic to our relationship. She works magic!
In March, our 4/4/20 wedding was postponed to August. My original photographer was not available for our new and I was blessed to have found Sam was! There were so many bumps in the road leading up to our big day and so many last minute changes. Sam was flexible, responsive and most of all so compassionate and understanding of our unique situation. Better yet, she captured the most beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever. She is so talented and we look forward to working with her in the future! ❤️
She is very accommodating and flexible. She is also very creative. My family uses her for all our photography needs.
Samantha was great! On time, attentive and professional. My only regret was not doing a second shooter so definitely make sure you do! Turn around was also so quick and her print recommendation the same! Thank you so much for being with us on our special day
Sam is the best. For our wedding in Gilford, NH we had Sam and Ariel working on the day. They worked flawlessly together! They helped us get all the shots that we had asked for and each have a GREAT EYE. We are obsessed with our sneak peak photos and can’t wait to see more. Sam is not “just” our wedding (and engagement shoot) photographer she is our friend. To have a friend with you on your wedding day was very comforting. Not only did she personally know (by name) 90% of the bridal party, that was invaluable and took a lot of stress off of us on the day. We just got to smile and listen to her prompts for pictures it was great. Thank you Sam! Hire her for your wedding. You need her.
Where do I even begin? When I say that Samantha was a DREAM to work with I mean that with all sincerity. I already knew of Samantha's work and loved her moody, rich, vibrant aesthetic (and I am very picky). Booking my photographer was one of the first things I did when we got engaged and I was so pleased that she hadn't been booked already. We decided to sign on for the full package of having her shoot our engagement photos and wedding.
Samantha was down for any location, added in her suggestions, and made me feel excited from the get go. Our downtown Worcester engagement shoot was EVERYTHING - fun, relaxed, and she sure knew how to hype up my outfit choices. She was open to poses and made us feel completely comfortable. It was so nice to be able to get the feel of how things would go prior to our wedding.
Leading up to our wedding we spoke multiple times, she laid out details, asked for a shot list of everything we were looking for and communicated frequently which eased a lot of wedding planning stress. The day of our wedding was pure magic in every way and Samantha was no exception. She was there for me in more ways than I expected a photographer to be. She wiped my makeup when I cried, fixed my veil and train, communicated with all the other vendors throughout the day, and ALWAYS had a smile on her face and great energy. Before she left for the night I already had a handful of beautiful edited wedding photos that she surprised us with.
AND THE PICTURES! Wow. I genuinely spent so long scrolling through our album that I started to have wrist pain (LOL). The way that she edits shows her dedication, her craft, her passion and every picture has LIFE that makes it feel like you are truly reliving the day. There is not one photo I can think of that she didn't capture- she got every detail. I could write a novel on the excitement I had working with her. I would recommend her 10 out of 10 times (even though I want to hog her all to myself). Samantha you are incredible as a person and behind the lens and I can't thank you enough for capturing our best day ever.

I chose Sam to photograph my wedding day after meeting with numerous other photographers and instantly feeling like we clicked. I knew that I would be totally comfortable with her on one of the most vulnerable and emotional (but in the best way) days of my life, and that I could be totally confident with her capturing all of the best moments of my day. And oh my goodness did she DELIVER! From my engagment shoot to the wedding day photos - they are all I ever wanted and more. I can't recommend Samantha enough, she is literally AMAZING!
My husband and I found Samantha by chance, seeing a photo shoot of hers on Instagram! We completely fell in love with her style, and she has now done three different photo shoots for our family. Samantha’s attention to detail and passion are seen in every photo. She completely captured our wedding perfectly, highlighting the beauty and emotion of our special day, she is so talented! Sam is so kind, and fun to work with, any nerves will completely melt away with her by your side. I cannot express how grateful we are for Sam, we couldn’t imagine using any other photographer. Don’t think twice, just book!
Since day one of reaching out to Sam, inquiring about our wedding date, I knew we found the perfect person to photograph our wedding day. I happened to find her in the tagged photos from our wedding venue, on instagram, and fell in love with her work! She is absolutely amazing and is so talented. For our engagement pictures, we happened to be in maine at the same time and she found the most beautiful beach to take our pictures. My husband and I have never had our pictures done before so we were pretty nervous but the second we met her, she made us feel so comfortable and it was like we had known her for years! We laughed the whole time and left so happy! When we got our pictures back, we knew she was going to capture our wedding in the best way and couldn’t wait. Fast forward to our wedding day, she felt like one of my bridesmaids, she helped me with my dress malfunction, helped pin all the boutonnières on, and made my friends and family feel so comfortable! She really took the time and came up with a shot list that worked perfectly with my DJ and she made our wedding day go by so smoothly. I will always be thankful for how helpful she was that day. She will make you feel confident if you’re feeling worried about getting your pictures done, she is so down to earth and is truly amazing at what she does! I will always recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!
