Celebrate the Unforgettable: Sam’s Studio Photography - Where Your Story Unfolds

Congrats on finding your way to my little corner of the web!

I'm a Guelph-based photographer who specializes in capturing the love, laughter, and connection between families and couples. Turning nerves into ease and stress free photography. I’m a graduate of Humber College’s Photography program, and I bring both professional training and a genuine passion for storytelling to every session.

Let’s make some memories together!

My favorite thing about photography…

My favourite thing about photography is the connection it brings. I love meeting new people, sharing laughs and creating a safe space where everyone feels at ease. I’ve always seen the world through an artistic lens, and photography gives me the gift of turning that vision into something meaningful - a way to share your stories to others.

The perfect day…

"I did two shoots with Sam this summer - a family session (6 of us) and a couples shoot and both were SO GOOD!

Sam had great poses for us both to do that made us feel natural and comfortable throughout the session, and that look really nice. I loved that she incorporates games/fun prompts to keep the energy up and keep it interesting and that she captures some candid moments as well as the posed moments. She's got a quick turn around between taking the pictures and sharing them with us, which was also really impressive.

I LOVE how the photos turned out for the family shoot with my 101 year old grandma (Sam did some nice things to celebrate her which was lovely!). The couples shoot look like they're from a magazine, and I am 100% obsessed with them!"
