I'm a photographer based out of Saint Helena, NE. However, I am also a mom, a wife, an aunt, sister, and daughter. I wear many different hats, but this is one of my favorites. Photography is my creative outlet--a chance to get out and be with other wonderful people and help them to create long-lasting memories with their loved ones.
I graduated from Metropolitan Community College in 2016 with an Associates in Applied Science degree in Photography and have been shooting since 2010. I started shooting senior portraits as a sophomore in high school for my older brother and his friends, and it grew from there. I now shoot seniors, families, weddings and engagements.
After graduation in 2016, I married my husband, Eric in July of 2017. We have two dogs, Gunner and Sarge, and have since had three children, Loretta, Marshall, and Weston. Starting a family and becoming a mom has been one of my greatest adventures. It just makes you realize how little control you have over this crazy life and how important it is to take the time to save those precious memories in the making.
I hope we can work together on saving pieces of your adventure too!

"Sam did a wonderful job capturing our engagement photos. Not only did they absolutely turn out beautiful, but she was very accommodating to the location we wanted. She truly did amazing at accentuating both our farm place and our first date spot while still capturing the love between my (now) husband and I."

"Absolutely loved working with Sam for senior sessions with my twin sister! I was a little nervous before attending, but Sami made the session so much fun and comfortable for us. The session didn't take too long, and Sami had great sites located around the Wynot area so driving to and from was not a problem! The quality of Sami's work compared with her price was really unmatched. My sister and I loved how our pictures turned out. Overall, great experience and highly recommend!"

"We had the honor of having Sam for our photographer. She was astonishing! She has a very special gift of looking through her lens, and capturing the most personal and intimate moments that lie within the hearts of her clients. From our beautiful engagement shoot, all the way through our wedding reception, she was challenged working with the new area and people she had never met. Sam did it with the most relaxing composure and style..."
