Hey there - I'm Sam!
I never feel more alive than when:
(1) I’m snapping photos while jiving on the reception dance floor.
(2) I’m editing photos and find the perfect moment of candid joy between two people.
Things I love outside of photography:
- Rock climbing at First Ascent
- Goofing around with my dog Daxter
- Baking constantly
- Sipping a midday IPA on a patio
- Play Dungeons & Dragons with friends
- Bike all around the city
- Road trip in my Subaru
I’d describe my energy as chill, goofy, activities-and-beer-loving, happy nerd energy. Equal parts fun, quirky, and weird. I think we’ll get along!
