I am an outdoor junkie & have a restless silly soul. My mother always had a camera. She was not a photographer by any means yet she always got pictures of kids/family. One day I took her canon camera and took a picture of a pink hibiscus flower by our pool. The details it captured absolutely had me in awe. I was then hooked...taking pictures of mainly nature and my family/friends. It wasn't until

I worked at the hospital and told some friends of my hobby. They loved my work so much that one wanted me to take her maternity pictures in a sunflower field. It turned into a surprise engagement! The images were stunning and then before I knew it...I had to start a business in 2017. I have been working in healthcare since 2009. I have been at nursing homes, assisted living, hospital and now I reside in hospice and absolutely love it. My jobs come full circle you see...while I am with my patients we often times look through old pictures. Laughing/crying at memories. I TAKE PICTURES that someday you will look back on when that's all you have left to remember. I want to be your girl who delivers priceless images you will cherish forever

To my clients, friends, and family,

This is one of the hardest posts I’ve ever had to write.

For years, Samtacular Photography has been built with my whole heart. Every session and every wedding has meant something to me. My goal has always been to capture the moments you’ll look back on for the rest of your life.

Over the last 4 years I’been threatened with divorce, my personal life has been consumed by circumstances that slowly spilled into my business. Many of you have watched pieces of my journey unfold this year—my marriage ending, financial hardship, losing my home, and trying to rebuild my life from the ground up. What many didn’t see was how deeply those struggles affected me behind the scenes.

I still don’t have a reliable vehicle, which has made rebuilding my life and business even more difficult.

As a result, there were weddings that took much longer to edit than they ever should have. Messages I should have answered sooner. Clients who deserved better communication from me. Some showed incredible patience, while others understandably became frustrated.

To every client I let down, I am sincerely sorry.

This isn’t a post asking for sympathy. It’s a post about accountability.

I’ve spent a long time reflecting, and I’ve realized that I cannot continue operating the way I have been. My clients deserve consistency, communication, and reliability, and I am committed to rebuilding my business with those values at the forefront.

To any client who currently has a session booked with me and has already paid a retainer or deposit, I want you to know that you have options.

You may choose a full refund, no questions asked, or you may choose to have your session photographed by my trusted second photographer, Corinne Leigh Photography. Corinne is an incredibly talented photographer whose work I trust wholeheartedly, and I know she would take wonderful care of you.

Photography is still my passion. It always will be. But moving forward, Samtacular Photography is going to look different. I’m putting better systems in place, limiting what I can realistically take on, and making communication a priority so every client receives the experience they deserve.

To those who have continued to believe in me through the darkest season of my life—thank you. Your support has meant more than you know.

This isn’t the end of Samtacular Photography.

It’s the beginning of rebuilding it the right way.

With love,

Samantha

Your story deserves to be remembered. ✨

Anyone can take a picture—but my passion is capturing the moments in between.

The genuine laughter. The tight hugs. The wind catching your hair. The way your child reaches for your hand. The little glances between couples that happen when they think no one’s watching. Those are the moments that become priceless years from now.

At Samtacular Photography, I specialize in connection-focused, storytelling photography. My sessions are relaxed, fun, and designed to make you feel comfortable enough to simply be yourself. Of course we’ll capture those classic smiling-at-the-camera portraits, but my favorite images are always the authentic ones—the ones that tell your story.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, welcoming a new baby, getting engaged, updating your family photos, graduating, or simply wanting to freeze this chapter of your life, I’d be honored to help preserve those memories.

I got into a pretty bad car accident Monday or Tuesday. All airbags on the right of the vehicle were deployed. Kids are fine. I am fine. Yet I cannot shoot any sessions until I get a new vehicle.

In addition, I also am getting a new phone today because mine broke. I am getting off of my childrens father’s plan since we are now separated and going through a divorce. I will post my new cell # soon.

So if you’ve msg’d me and I haven’t responded all week this is why.
