meet your photographer

 

Hey, I'm Samantha! 

I am incredibly fortunate to have one of the coolest jobs in the whole wide world. As a Wedding and Lifestyle photographer, I get to witness and capture some of the most special milestones in my clients lives. It's an absolute honour for me to turn these moments into memories!


What drives me and fuels my passion is the sheer joy and laughter that fill the air. Whether it's a wedding, an engagement, a family gathering, or any other cause for celebration, I am there to capture the genuine emotions and create beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.


As cliche as it may sounds, I have always loved photography. Ever since I can remember, I have had a camera in my hand. I was very fortunate to attend Seneca College, graduating in 2017 with a Diploma in Photography and shortly thereafter beginning my business.

 

Photography is not just a profession for me; it's my way of telling stories. Every photo is an opportunity to capture the essence of your lives most special moments. The emotions and create a legacy that you can treasure for years to come.

You've probably already realized, but my favourite time of day to photograph a session is around sunset time to capture that warm and sunny sun!

My favourite season is fall. Seeing all of the trees changing colours is so beautiful to me.

Call me crazy but I prefer ice coffee over hot coffee and yes... even in the winter!!

I love to travel! If you are planning a wedding, reach out! I'd love to chat in more detail!

I Believe That...


Your Photos Do Not Belong On Your Phone


Consider printing your favourite photos instead of leaving them trapped on your phone. Here’s why: printed photos can be displayed in your home or office, providing a different kind of satisfaction compared to digital screens. Printing allows us to be more selective, choosing your favourite images to prints and display. The texture of paper and richness of ink evoke feelings that screens can’t replicate. Printed photos endure, becoming tangible heirlooms that can be passed down through generations. 

Simple Is Elegant


Simple and elegant images are like timeless treasures. While new trends may dazzle us, there’s something special about embracing the classics and traditional ways. With simple landscapes and natural lighting, these photographs emphasize the beauty of the moment and the connection between loved ones. So, let’s appreciate both trends and tradition— because sometimes, less truly is more!

Clean is Timeless


My clean and simple editing style is a testament to my commitment to authenticity. When editing, I focus on the essentials: sharpness, colour, and clarity. My goal is to enhance the image while maintaining its natural essence—almost as if no edits were applied at all. This timeless approach ensures that your photographs stand the test of time, capturing moments in their purest form. By preserving colours true to what the eye sees, creating images that resonate and endure, leaving a lasting impression for generations to come.

What Sets Samantha Apart?


One question you should ask yourself before hiring your photographer is… “What kind of person do I want next to me on such an important day?” Do you want someone calm when things get stressful or someone bubbly and ready to take action when it’s needed?


I’d like to think that I have a way of being both for you! I’m both a de-stressor for those little moments of nervousness and a hype-gal for those moments where you want to feel beautiful. I’m your gal for pinning boutonnières, getting your bridal party laughing, and getting your family in line for pictures as efficiently as possible!


When you book with me, you get a fun and genuine photographer who has a knack for making people feel comfortable and ensuring smoothness through out the day. With me, you have a wedding professional that has experienced any and all types of wedding days and can take charge when it comes to aligning your desires to how the day will look.


When you choose me as your photographer you’re choosing a friend, confidant, AND beautiful photography that will last forever.
