So whether you're looking to document this season of love, capture maternity portraits, or save the fleeting moments with your little ones, let's create a gallery that makes your heart sing. YOU deserve to feel celebrated, and as your professional photographer in Lethbridge, I'm here to make it happen.
ordinary
but
anything
To me, photography is the most beautiful marriage of art and connection. It’s so much more than a job, and you are so much more than just another client in a gallery. Each client, from families to couples is close to my heart. I can still remember details and moments of every family session I’ve had the privilege to witness. For a creative soul, it’s truly a dream come true to share these intimate, milestone moments and turn them into art that you can treasure forever.
life
&
love
Losing my dad has been a big part of my inspiration to begin preserving these precious moments for others because I know wholeheartedly what authentic family photography can mean to someone when that person is no longer here.
It is not about creating the perfect photograph, it’s about capturing YOU, as you beautifully are. I am here for the photographs that you can feel, so down the road when you look at them, you can remember how it felt to have the sun hitting your face on the day you married the love of your life, or how much comfort you felt within your dad’s embrace. To me, family experiences are what matters most.
You deserve family photos that reflect your vibe and celebrate you at your most alive, not just your most perfectly posed. Head to the blog for more inspiration!
"CHOOSE SAM! Happy to have memories and moments captured from her point of view. Her skill, humor, and gentle suggestions put you at ease while she works her magic."
"Sam is so awesome to work with and her photographs are absolutely stunning! She is amazing at making everyone feel so comfortable with her kindness and upbeat personality! 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting heartfelt memories and moments candidly captured!"
"If I could sum up our experience with Sam, it would end in two words - TRUE TALENT! Captured in our element, our family of 3 and golden retriever could not be more happier with the entire process of her shooting. Her relaxed vibe, calm approach, and shooting style to name a few are what makes her the one you want. Her new take on candids, and editing skills are beyond beautiful. If you’re looking for someone to capture a vision, this is your person."

I do minimal photoshop and only remove things that are obviously distracting in backgrounds (signs, people, etc), and as for you, I only photoshop anything that wouldn’t be there in a few weeks time (acne, cuts, redness, bruises, etc). You are created beautifully as you are and my job as a professional photographer is to help you see that!
An initial non-refundable retainer to hold your date is required, then the rest of your package balance can be split up into additional payments, just let me know this upon booking and we can make a payment schedule that works for you!
Every session and wedding is unique, so the number of photos changes. You'll receive all successful images that tell your unique love story, I won't leave anything out! It really depends on how many hours I shoot and how jam-packed your session is! At a minimum, you will receive 50 images per hour of shooting time.
Your photos are delivered through an online gallery called PicTime. You will be able to download as many photos as you want and as many times as you want. It will take roughly 4 to 6 weeks to receive your final wedding gallery, all other sessions will take 2 to 3 weeks. I put a lot of love and care into perfecting each image, which is why it'll take me a little bit more time to deliver your final images.
Yes! Firstly, I shoot with a camera that has dual memory cards, so there are always two copies of your images as I am shooting. After your session, I back up your photos in multiple locations to ensure there are always copies available and that they are safe. I do encourage you to do the same and backup your photos in multiple locations when you download your gallery.
For sessions, I am open to rescheduling one time if the weather is extremely bad! For weddings, EMBRACE it, choose to let go of the uncontrollable and focus on having the best day possible. Sometimes the best thing to do is roll with the punches on the day of and that's when some magical images can be created!
