KIND WORDS
Madison Wicklund
"Sammi photographed our wedding photos and she was wonderful to work with! She was so kind, professional and helpful and worked with our timeline and budget to get us all the photos we wanted within our budget. She met with us regularly leading up to the wedding to answer questions and work through our wedding timeline. On the day of, she walked us through various poses that felt natural and comfortable and would often stop to show us the pictures on her camera so we could see how they looked and make any adjustments (even though none were needed since all the pictures were so cute). I can’t recommend Sammi enough!!"
Samantha Sokan
"Sammi did my maternity photoshoot as well as newborn photoshoot and to say she was fantastic is an understatement. She captured these memories phenomenally and made both me and my baby boy feel so comfortable (even after a c section!)! I am not one for pictures….or picking out outfits for that matter, but she was there every step of the way to help make my vision come true! I highly recommend for any event, but especially any maternity or newborn photoshoots. We plan on using her in the near future for his next milestone photography needs!"
Morgan Mcbride, Mom of a toddler
"Just do it! Sammi from Captured by Sammi Co is fantastic to work with and incredibly talented. She recently took family photos of us and it was a great experience. Sammi was responsive, helpful with outfit and location planning and made the whole experience a lot of fun. You can tell she definitely has experience working with children. My little one is full of energy and does not slow down, and she still managed to capture so many wonderful images of him and our whole family."
Andrea Magee,
Mom of two
"Our family photos felt natural, effortless and representative of our real life. She connected with both of our kids and guided them into some incredible photos that we will always cherish. Our toddler was asking “where’s Sammi?” for weeks afterwards (so cute!!!). I cannot wait to book with her again, and again, and again."
