My friends would describe me as professional, passionate and above all else – silly! You can find me in Virginia Beach creating timeless photos for clients and families that value their relationships. Whether posed or candid I will strive to capture your most special moments with my expertise.

When we work together, you’ll find out quickly that… 

  • I’m vertically challenged so my trusty step stool is always there for me
  • It’s cliche for a reason, coffee is a life force for me
  • If I’m picking the studio tunes, it’s gonna be DMB, Food Fighters, or Pearl Jam
  • My Massachusetts accent is still strong despite a decade in the Mid Atlantic 


I'm Sami, a photographer and studio owner, dedicated to capturing life's magical moments with a burst of JOY. 

I take colorful and beautiful photos

My Why

My love for capturing life's little moments really started when I moved to Virginia Beach almost a decade ago with my college sweetheart.

My family has grown to include our two spirited boys, who always keep us on our toes with their boundless energy and contagious enthusiasm for life. Whether we're working together in the kitchen, spontaneously breaking out into dance, or cozying up to watch a movie, our home is always buzzing with excitement.

With my own family serving as a constant source of inspiration, as a photographer, I believe capturing a family's unique dynamic and spirit is just as important as getting the perfect shot. 

As a photographer, I believe that capturing a family's unique dynamic and spirit is just as crucial as getting the perfect shot. And with my own chaotic but beautiful family as my inspiration, I'm committed to documenting that same sense of joy and love for every family.
