HI THERE!

NICE TO MEET YOU!
I'M SAMANTHA.

thanks for checking out my site!

I'm a 20 something Saint Paul based lifestyle photographer. I was made to create art. I have always been infatuated with photography, so I've finally chosen to do what I love, while creating a life I want to live. I'm the mother of the most perfect baby boy, who is my muse. Much of my artistic vision, inspiration, and creativity I owe to my sweet little guy - he has truly taught me to view life through a rose colored lens.

When I'm not playing with a camera, you might find me wandering the thrift store, jamming to my playlists (I'm not-so-secretly a total metalhead), or drinking the strongest coffee I can get my hands on.

​

I'm a sucker for a good dive bar and I'm always down for a road trip. I'm originally from Michigan, so I live for summer days spent out on the lake. I feel most at peace & connected to the earth when I am in nature - whether sunbathing on the lakeshore, hiking a desert canyon trail, or climbing rocky waterfalls.

​

I'm extremely passionate about the art + science of photography. I spend a great deal of time educating myself so I can be constantly improving my skills. I don't just want to be good - I want to be the best.

My mission is to create a thoughtful, everlasting, precisely designed gallery that makes you feel something when you look at it. Photos that invoke fuzzy, warm, dream-like nostalgia. I want to document your unique love story in a way that is both true to you, yet artistic and aesthetic. I treat capturing your biggest (and smallest) moments as the most valuable job in the world, because to me, it is.

Hi, I'm Samantha!

Lifestyle Photographer

samantha-0973.jpg

I'm a 20-something lifestyle photographer based in Minneapolis/St. Paul. I'm a thrill-seeking, sun-chasing, free-spirited creative. Adventure fuels + inspires me. I have been infatuated with cameras and photography since I was twelve years old, and my ultimate dream is to do it full-time.

​

Creating art and capturing love between humans is my favorite thing to do; from the mother + child to the starry-eyed lovers. Every story is unique, and I want to tell yours. The authentic and raw. The silly and playful. The nostalgic and emotional. The candid and carefree. My goal is to create a gallery of expressive, dreamy, natural photos that make you feel one thing while viewing them: love.
