Yes, most definitely! While I'm based out of Madison, WI I'll hop on a plane, train or take a roadtrip just about anywhere. My investment guide dives deeper into travel rates. I travel locally and out of state.

Most of my packages are priced for me alone. Any coverage over 8 hours requires a second shooter add on. Any wedding day with 8 hours of coverage or less has an option to add on a second shooter for an additonal hourly rate.

Of course! Let’s grab coffee, lunch or hop on a video call. I always suggest booking an engagement or pre wedding session to get to know eachother better too. Any engagement or pre wedding session booked will receive 30% off when a wedding package is also booked.

Sam is beyond talented!! She was able to bring our vision to life of how we wanted our day to be captured. Embodying the romantic, candid style, she was able to display how truly magical the day was.

Love Notes

Carly + Sebasttian

We had such a great experience with Sam for our couples shoot! She was so kind and made us feel super comfortable the entire time. She really captured the love we have for each other, and every photo feels so natural and genuine. We seriously love every single shot! If you’re looking for a photographer who’s not only talented but also a joy to be around, we can’t recommend Sam enough!
