What People Are Saying:

A big thank you to Sam as well for her photography lessons... After working with her, I feel like it has re-ignited my passion for photography and made me feel so much more comfortable using my camera.

Maria Dent

Listening to you made me want to tap into a higher part of myself. I learned so much from your classes -I walked around Rome with my camera and took some good shots. I would not have felt comfortable with that before. I look at things through a different lens!

Sara Roseberry

Sam is that special kind of unicorn who teaches in a clear and professional manner while simultaneously inspiring you to push your creative limits and find your inner, spicy self. Time with Sam is time spent with a friend, a teacher, a muse and an artist, regardless of your skill level. 100% Recommend.
