Back in May, the Styling With Sam workshop held it’s first 2 day workshop experience! I worked so hard at making sure everything was perfect, from the swag bags all the way down to what kinds of food we were going to eat.  My workshops include a heavily detailed styled shoot, to put […]

I love being in new cities.  The thrill of driving into some place I could literally get lost in excites me, and being in Raleigh NC was nothing short of amazing.  I posted in a Facebook group for photographers before I left PA, asking if there were any couples who would be available to hang […]

Warm tones and textures, macrame and lace.  These are the things that I only ever dreamed of photographing before.  Boho style weddings are not that common in Pennsylvania, so when I looked around Forest Hall and saw some of these details, I was pumped.  It was finally going to happen! I wanted to make sure […]

Sunshine, birds, the sounds and feelings of warmer weather woke me up as I lay in my adorable quirky Air BnB.  I was in Pittsboro, North Carolina and it was the morning of the How We Gather Shootout.  I spent the day before driving from Pennsylvania, about 9 hours.  I was exhausted by the time […]

Prepare yourselves for this blog post.  It’s a doozy.  A good doozy but I hope you stick with me until the end.  The month of July is over, and while I am so sad that fall is coming, I’m happy that my month of travel every week is done.  I took July and spent a […]

I love Fridays.  Not because they are the start of the weekend, but because everyone is always in such a good mood! I want to take this amazing day and tell you about some of the behind the scenes work and moments that were part of the first workshop! When I was putting together the […]

I am so excited right now to be able to share this post with you.  This has been in the works for months, and it all started as a normal, run of the mill idea for a styled shoot.  I am a wedding photographer, so during the months that aren’t crazy busy I get bored. […]
