Her Story

A life she's in love with.

I’m so lucky and in love with my life. And I hope to capture the moments that show how in love with your life you are. I met my husband Chris when we were 18 years old in Arizona and can honestly say I’m more crazy in love with the man now, well over a decade later.

We have created a life we love with 4 amazing kids living in the Steiner Ranch community of Austin, Texas. Our boys are Colton, Camden, Crew, and Cash. Watching them achieve new milestones is such a highlight for us. I would love to document those milestones for you.

What Drives Her

More than a photographer.

Storyteller First

Every session is about telling your story. not just documenting a moment, but capturing the feeling, connection, and soul behind it.

Community Rooted

Samantha has called Steiner Ranch home for over a decade. She’s raising her family here, building her business here, and photographing the same community she lives in every day. That’s not just local. That’s personal.

Artist Always

With a background in marketing and an eye for visual narrative, Samantha brings a creative vision that makes every image something worth pausing for.

Let’s Connect

Your story is waiting to be told.

Every session begins with a conversation. There’s no pressure, no obligation — just two people talking about what matters most to you.
