YOUR OHIO WEDDING + LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER.
Nothing makes me happier than documenting love stories and all the other little parts that make up our lives. I've been truly inspired by motherhood with the continual reminder to slow down and cherish the little moments that are fleeting. Over the years, so many couples have allowed me the honor of capturing timeless memories for them – from engagement to wedding to maternity and every milestone in between – allowing them to relive their most important moments over and over for a lifetime.
Hey there! I'm Samantha.
(and new bestie!)
A little bit about me... I’m married to my high school sweetie, Jacob, and we have three kids, Jackson (7), Maverick (5), and Reagan (2). When I’m not at a session or editing all of those gorgeous images, I’m adventuring with my kiddos, grabbing iced coffee at my favorite local shop, aimlessly walking through the aisles of the nearest thrift store or obsessively Googling cheap flights to anywhere I can go! I’m obsessed with traveling, so if you’re looking for a photographer to meet you outside of Ohio, let me pack my bags and I will totally meet you there.
In 2021, I decided to pursue wedding photography as my full time job after being a high school math teacher for the previous five years. Four years later and 100+ weddings documented, I've never been more thankful for this job and all of the amazing opportunities it has given me. It has been a truly crazy ride and I wouldn't change it for anything.
