Hello!
I’m Samantha - I’ve spent the last eight years photographing babies, brides, and every kind of beautiful moment in between.
Over the years, my desires as a photographer have changed. I am no longer searching for the most picturesque or “instagram worthy” moments, but instead to capture more of the realness of life in the photos I take.
My mission as a photographer is to capture fleeting seasons. The joy of your wedding day, the expressions that your kiddos make that are uniquely them, the tiny baby knuckle dimples that fade too quickly, the hugs your kiddos give you, the rituals you practice in your home. These are the things that are, that will not always be.
As a wife and mama of two, I’ve watched my own babies grow and change and learned that the adage “the days are long and the years are short” is too true. The photos that stand the test of time are the ones that are authentic and real. Those are the ones I love taking.
My laid-back, quiet personality made the “job” of photographer pretty effortless when it fell into my lap all those years ago. I have always been more comfortable observing and capturing, watching the way light hits walls, trees, and faces, or the intricacies to people that even they themselves don’t know are so lovely.
I would love to help capture this season that you are in. Whether that means being your shadow on your wedding day, coming to your home while you make pancakes on a Saturday morning, joining you on a walk on a pretty hilltop, or piling the grandkids on grandma for a photo to last a lifetime, I’m your girl.
Let’s capture something real, to be able to remember these moments that too quickly pass us by.
This is my sweet fam.
My husband Joseph and I were married in 2017 and our kiddos Maximilian (Max) and Norah Jo are 4 and 6 months.
We are our best selves when we’re close to the Lord and keeping our home - built in 1907 in south Omaha that Joseph has completely transformed since we bought it. When I’m not photographing or cuddling my babies, I’m gardening, watching gardening shows, or looking at seed catalogs online. I have a flock of seven chickens who are some of my good friends. I am also a co-founder of a Catholic holistic health collective for women. We publish a quarterly journal called The Ember Journal.
