CAUGHT YOUR VIBE

FILM & DIGITAL

/ VISUAL STORYTELLING

This is not your traditional photography studio. 

This is unapologetic art documenting the unique intimacies of the human experience, unabashed creativity, and unfiltered self-expression — as bold and brazen as the people it’s for. 

This is for the ones who live and let live and love and let love, tossing life’s rule book aside and getting buzzed on bubbling originality. This is for the ones with a disco ball glimmer in their lovestruck eyes and a dead set desire to do things differently.

This is for you.


I'M SAMANTHA, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME SAM.

I think love is all the rage, a hopeless ROMANTIC TO THE CORE.

I CREATE IMAGERY OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE,
Meaning all are welcome here.

Because I believe the pursuit of self-expression is just as much our given right as it is our human nature. That the path forward is nonlinear and graciously so. That we are meant to take nostalgic side roads across the map of life, to stop and smell the roses we planted long ago. That we can’t be blamed for toasting to the fruits of our labor and revering all the candid picture proof of our existence. After all, we’re only human — and I will always toast to that.
