The approach
Kids don't pose. Neither should you.
Your session is a playdate with a camera. We'll walk, we'll race, somebody will get tossed in the air, and I'll catch the real laughs in between. If a toddler melts down, we take a break. There's no wrong way to do this.
Sessions work for every season of life: maternity, newborns at home, milestone birthdays, high school seniors, grandparents in town, and the annual "we finally did it" photo.

Relaxed, natural, and actually fun.
Favorite spots right now: Canyon Lake at sunset, the riverbanks in Gruene and New Braunfels, Boerne's Main Street, the Pearl and the Missions in San Antonio, and quiet Hill Country roads. In-home sessions are wonderful for newborns.
01
Play, not posing
Gentle prompts and games so nobody has to say cheese. The best smiles come from movement and a little mischief.
02
Every season of life
Family, maternity, newborn and senior sessions, outdoors in beautiful light or at home where little ones are most comfortable.
03
Mom-tested patience
As a mom to a busy 7-year-old, I know life is rarely perfectly put together. That's where the magic usually is.

Reviews
Kind words.
Sammie is absolutely fantastic! She photographed our daughter's first birthday smash cake photos and was awesome. She made my daughter and me feel so comfortable and the pictures came out dreamy. Cannot speak highly enough of her and her photos. Thank you, Sammie!
Sammie did an amazing job of wrangling three busy kids and showed tons of patience towards us all. Her pictures turned out so well! We highly recommend her.
FAQ
Session questions.
How much is a family photo session in San Antonio?
Mini sessions are $250 for 20 minutes, the Bronze Collection is $350 for 30 minutes and the Gold Collection is $450 for a full hour. Every collection includes digital gallery access.
What should we wear?
Coordinate rather than match. Let each family member's personality show while harmonizing colors and styles, choose timeless pieces over trends, and dress for the setting and the season. I'll send a full what-to-wear guide after booking.
What's the best time of day?
The last hour or two before sunset for warm, airy light. Mornings are great for little ones who nap after lunch. Overcast days are secretly wonderful too.
My kids will not cooperate. Will this still work?
Yes. The best photos come from play, not posing. We'll move, race, tickle and take breaks, and your gallery will have the real smiles.
Do you do maternity, newborn and senior sessions?
All three. Maternity and seniors work beautifully outdoors, newborns are most comfortable at home. Choose the collection length that fits and tell me the details in your inquiry.
