    Samantha is EXTREMELY TALENTED. i am so happy with how my photos from my wedding turned out. The quality is gorgeous and everyone looks gorgeous. I couldn't be happier with the final result. Not only will you have memories to last a lifetime, she is such a pleasure to work with all day. She makes you feel calm and at ease. I can't say enough good things about Samantha. I've had many friends book once they saw how beautiful my photos turned out. Book Samantha- you will be so happy working with her!

    Samantha's work is stunning, and working with her is so easy. She is an excellent communicator and is incredibly flexible. I can't stop beaming as I scroll through our images. I would give her a million 5-star reviews if I could. Thank you so much, Samantha.

    Wow! Sam and her team were incredible! She was so responsive from the first email correspondence up until getting us our final photos. Sam and her team were very professional and easy to work with - my fiance and I had never had our photos taken before and they made us feel at ease during more intimate moments like the first look photos. Most importantly, our wedding photographs are absolutely beautiful. Sam truly captured the essence of our love, and the love from our family and friends on our wedding day.

    Samantha was fantastic overall. A friend recommended her to me and I am so thankful she did! Everything was amazing and beautiful.

    We did a engagement shoot with her first (as a test run for the wedding and to get some fun pictures), and it was so easy and comfortable. She let us be us and came up with some really fantastic pictures and views in Prospect Park.

    During the lead up to the wedding, Samantha was always available via email for any of my inane questions about how this would all work. She helped me scope out locations around the area as well as come up with a timeline that worked with my and my families' needs.

    The day of the wedding, she and her assistant were there right on time and helped coordinate everything. I barely noticed she was taking pictures, which meant there were some seriously amazing reactions and shots that are totally genuine. I got the photos in and couldn't believe how beautiful they were. She has a great eye for getting the right light and the right angle to make me and my guests look amazing.

    I totally and completely recommend her to anyone!

    I've basically become Samantha's biggest fan since finding her work on Instagram. She was SO sweet and helpful with my million questions and basically having no idea how things work, and put together an amazing custom package to help me get everything my fiancé & I wanted while staying close to our original budget. We've only had the engagement shoot so far (our wedding is in April), but we are THRILLED with the photos and have received so many compliments on how unique and "us" they are. We already can't wait for the wedding photos!

    Sam was my dream photographer. Down to earth and just so passionate about her photos, she is extremely professional and prompt. Her communication and the ease of the digital forms for hiring, contract, package information, costs etc... was so simple and organized. She had no issue with me wanting to book her waaaay more than a year in advance! I knew I connected with her instantly and I knew she was going to capture us and exactly what we needed for our our big day. We didn't want too many posed pictures and went kind of non-traditional, and she captured exactly what we wanted because she took the time to get to know us. By doing that, it shows how passionate and dedicated she is about her work. For our engagement photo shoot we switched plans last minute because there was a carnival in the neighborhood and she was so accommodating even though it was not part of the original plan! On wedding day, she handled everything like a true professional. Her and her crew made us feel comfortable and calm which is a huge bonus on such a busy (but amazing) day. We were very picky and have A LOT of family, which is not easy to coordinate, but she was so organized and professional with everyone. My photos are beautiful. If you've seen her photos, you know what I mean and you can tell immediately that she focuses on capturing just the right light, with just the right angles. Her work is refreshing and inspiring and I'm so thankful that I found her! If you want someone who will connect with you and truly care about what you want out of your photos, hire Samantha!

    I believe and trust in Samantha completely! I have recommended her to a few people already, one has confirmed their booking. Sam's work speaks for itself, she is master artisan. I say that because it is obvious that her head and heart are present but her touch, how she captures the moment, the light, the joy among people is inspiring to say the very least. When I received the wedding pictures back I started to tear up and lost my breath for a moment because I was so overwhelmed with an image she suspended in time of my Dad...it is the happiest I have ever seen the man. I love my father, he is incredibly wise but it is so rare that his joy and laughter erupts from his soul...and Sam caught it on film. I will treasure this picture all of my life. I appreciate Samantha's character and energy. Anyone would be fortunate to have her tell the tale of their cherished moments through her photography. I am glad I did!

    On April 1st, Samantha and her team covered our wedding and we cannot be anymore pleased with the outcome of her service. Sam made sure every picture we wanted was covered and she had phenomenal patience with our incredibly large family. She is a very sweet, easy going and talented person. We were so happy to have her around on our special day. She even made sure to check in with us before she left to make sure that we had all the pictures we wanted. The pictures are beautiful!! Not only did she beautifully capture our family portraits, bride/groom pictures and the typical shots; but she also captured these awesome candids filled with lots of laughter and joy. We have so many beautiful pictures to choose from and we are struggling figuring out which are going to make the cut for the album. Also I wanted to note that Sam was aware that we were traveling back to our home country in a few weeks for our honeymoon and to see my father in law who could not make it to the wedding. Before she left the wedding, she told us she would try to get the pictures to us in a timely matter so we can show them to my father in law during our vacation. Samantha most definitely delivered as she said she would. We were amazed that she had our pictures ready in such short time. She certainly knows what she is doing and she does is well. If you want a patient, creative and efficient photographer; with a refreshing outlook, Sam would be your girl.

    Samantha was so wonderful to work with! She made us feel so comfortable and really listened to what we wanted from our wedding photos. They came out great! She's so easygoing and sweet, and it felt so seamless to have her around on our wedding day! She even helped us create entire timeline for our wedding, as we didn't have a planner. She was great to work with and she made our day so easy and fun.

    Samantha did our engagement photos last summer and she is an outstanding photographer! My fiance and I were nervous/self-conscious about being in front of the camera, but she made us feel instantly comfortable. She was highly patient with us and she is the type of person that you definitely want with you on your wedding day! The photos are absolutely stunning and are displayed throughout our home. I highly recommend Samantha!

    I absolutely loved working with Samantha! She is so professional with a great eye. She really understood what I was looking for and captured everything I was hoping for. At first, everyone thought I was crazy for hiring a photographer for my bridal shower but after everyone saw the pictures they were stunned with how beautiful they came out. Samantha really captured every moment and captured how truly special that day was too- she really made feel like a bride! Not to mention the detail shots of all of work my mom put in to the dessert table, outside decor- every detail was photographed beautifully! She really has an eye for the details. One of my favorite things was that I didn't even know she was taking the pictures, she got great candids of me and my family. Lastly, her turn around time and level of professionalism was better then my actual wedding photographer and my only regret was not being able to book her for my actual wedding.

    Samantha was the most amazing photographer we've ever worked with. She is extremely professional with a unique, creative eye, which resulted in the most beautiful, sensual photographs we've ever taken. My husband and I selected her for our engagement session as well as our wedding event, and we had absolutely NO regrets. I think her best trait is her calm demeanor; weddings can be ridiculously hectic and just having a photographer that remains so well grounded helps tremendously. When the dresses, makeup, and hair all come together, it's nice to have a photographer who can simply blend in and capture the essence of the day. At first we were a bit quirky in front of the camera, but with Samantha's guidance, she really loosened us up, and by the end of the day were tossed our "stress" coats and danced the night away....all thanks to Samantha! You are truly AMAZING!!!

    Samantha is wonderful. She quickly booked our engagement shoot when we were short on time and was flexible with scheduling. The engagement pictures came out great. And I just got my wedding pictures and love them! They are a great mix of the formal, detail, and candid shots we wanted. She's very accessible if you have any questions, and she's professional, kind, and talented.

    Sam is young, modern and romantic. You are sure to have an amazing experience. The more information that you provide Sam about yourselves (your likes and dislikes) and your vision the more she can tailor your photos to your desires. Just remember that it is your responsibility as the client to also do your homework and give Sam feedback that she can work with. Check out pinterest and other websites for ideas and then let Sam know what you have in mind. That is sure to be a recipe for success :) Enjoy!

    Samantha did an outstanding job for us, her photos of our slightly non-convnetional wedding are fantastic. She was incredibly flexible and used her creativity to adapt to what we needed and took every opportunity to capture some great images of the whole event. I wouldn't hesitate in the slightest to recommend her. To top it all off her fee was very competitive, I have seen a lot of friends pay many times what she charged and not get the quality or service brought by Samantha, her photographs are our memories of our big day and they are perfect :)

    She did a wonderful job. In all the madness of the day though, we did forget to get photos with a few key family members and I wish she had asked us before leaving that night if there was anyone else we needed! We weren't thinking clearly!
