Testimonials

"Samantha is so easy to work with and very talented. She has been flexible with our busy family schedule. Her directions and adjustments during our photo session are well done. She is now our “family photographer”, we have used her for family photos, Christmas cards, baby bump announcements, and new born photos and the photos just keep impressing us!"

Can you recommend any good locations?

Here in the PNW, there are so many beautiful locations perfect for photography. I have a curated list of favorite spots that I'll share with you before the session so you can choose the location that fits your vision. I am also always open to new locations if you have a special place in mind.
