Welcome

I’m Sami..

..a Virginia Beach based Wedding, Portrait, and Event Photographer

I have been behind the camera taking photos of real people in real moments: laughing, loving, and soaking up the beautiful chaos, for over 10 years. I pride myself on working with clients throughout every stage of their life from engagements, to the wedding, to maternity and newborn and then of course family sessions.

I’m a short, New England born, somewhat sassy boy mom who loves scarfs, a nice cold hard seltzer and pumpkin spice everything (yes, I am just your basic girl over here!!) Thanks again for being here, I can’t wait to meet you!

Kind Words

“Sami did our engagement photos and they were so awesome!!! I absolutely loved working with her. I do not consider myself photogenic whatsoever, and Sami made both me and my fiance so comfortable, we had a great time during our photo shoot and looked awesome! They are, hands down, the best photos we have of ourselves, and I know I’m going to cherish them for a long time coming.”
