more about Me

It’s time to say goodbye to awkward poses and forced smiles and hello to portrait photography that captures the real you (and yours!)

Welcome to my world, where the camera is always clicking and the good times never stop! I’m Sami, your go-to gal for capturing family portraits, branding imagery, and all the special moments in between right here in Virginia Beach. 

For over a decade, I've had the privilege of being invited into so many lives - from businesses and events to maternity and newborn journeys, and all the way through to family photos. I believe that every moment is worth capturing and preserving, and I strive to create a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all my clients.

Hey you!

"Sami is the absolute sweetest and I LOVED working with her for my branding photos! She brought me out of my shell and by the end of the session I felt like I was hanging out with a great friend. The photos are gorgeous. She was completely right when she said the most awkward-feeling poses make for the most natural-looking pictures!"

"Sami is absolutely fantastic!! She captured the most beautiful pictures of me and my five little ones, that i will truly treasure forever. Beyond that, my little ones actually said she made getting family pictures done fun!! If you, too, have your own bunch of rowdy little ones, then you know how monumental that is."

"I had the opportunity to work with Sami Roy Photography and the entire hour was such a JOY! It can be very stressful having professional photos done with children but Sami, a mom herself, made it fun and easy! She engaged with my children and was patient with their little antics. Rather than waiting for "the perfect pose," she instead captured us beautifully as we were. You will not regret booking a session with Sami!"
