You’ve probably noticed I haven’t been around much. So I wanted to check in and share my heart a little. I don’t like showing my emotions in my business but it’s been unavoidable recently.

In June, I completed two weekends with smashingly amazing weddings (one in Vero at Johns Island and the other in Chicago). I was home for a day when my uncle called to tell me my dad was not well.

I hadn’t seen my father in four years and only spoke with him once in that time. But I could tell from the sound of his voice that I needed to go to Tennessee and fast.

So I went. And he was clearly dying. We spent nearly every hour together until I left. We were able to forgive each other and reach reconciliation.

That was the last time I saw my dad before he passed away July 26th.

I’m in my grief. Holding my children and learning what I can from all of this. What I know for sure is that I need some changes—which I will share next week.

Here are some remnants of his life. I wish there was more. I guess we aways do.

I’ve been sharing my story on my other account which you are welcome to check out and follow if you feel the pull…

All my love,
Sam

When I do detail shots I always look to see where the light's coming from and what I can use as a natural surface. Many photographers will bring canvas to stage flat-lay photos, but I actually enjoy floors or unusual surfaces.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
For instance--this image was designed on the farmhouse table in in Vero Beach. We used the veil to add some whimsical texture to help the deep jewel tones of the invitations really pop. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
What's your favorite way to build a flat-lay?? ​​​​​​​​

There is a moment after you first see each other on your wedding day that will be different if you're working with me. We're going to meditate. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I discovered the magic of this exercise during the pandemic. We are all dealing with huge amounts of stress. Your wedding day is one day you should be completely present in the moment. You've already done the work getting here, so it's time to pause and enjoy it.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So I will put the cameras down and ask you to hold hands. You will look into each other's eyes and just sink into your breath. I will remind you why you're here. I will help you remember the best parts of your love. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
You will be Held and Seen in a way that you may not have ever noticed until that very moment. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
There is no more beautiful way to start a new chapter together, in my mind, than aligning your hearts in this way. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Do you want to get married? Or do you want to intentionally walk into life together in a new way? Let me guide you... We'll do it together

I am constantly mesmerized by the little things. Gorgeous light, simple, elegant details and the motion of the body all remind me why I love sharing this art.​​​​​​​​

Sally Ann and Mark are a true dream couple. They love each other fiercely, they trust the process and they are here to share and remember the good times.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These little one-minute films are always so hard to make because so many amazing moments still end up on the cutting room floor, so I know their longer highlights film is going to be a feature to remember.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you, SA + M for trusting me with your story. I can't wait to share it with the world!

Women are strong. Women are fierce. Women are unstoppable. These two especially are such powerful humans and are two of many I’m drawing inspiration from in these days where our rights are being compromised and reversed. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We are not few. We are many. And we are going to stand together in our power with love at our core to say:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
No. More. ⚔️​​​​​​​​
