Hello!

I am Sam!

Instead of telling you how much I love photography and the joy I find behind a lens - I think I will let you in on 7 silly things about me :)

  1. Mashed potato sandwiches rock - with gravy of course.

  2. I fully believe that gravy is its own food group.

  3. I have an inordinate love for post-it notes.

  4. I am pretty sure I turn into a pumpkin after 8pm - my husband can attest.

  5. I will judge your bookshelves.

  6. More glitter is always the answer.

  7. I am (unashamedly), a notorious pen thief.

Bonus! - I’d love to take your photo, I just know it :)
