    Prue, Co-founder, Foxtrot Home

Sam’s work is exceptional, her eye for composition and colour is both stylish and timeless and she’s an incredibly lovely and easy going person to work with too. Her photographs elevate and present you with a professional but also beautiful image."

I’m Samantha, but you can call me Sam

My photography obsession started in a high school darkroom (blurry film, questionable hair choices, the works). Now I get to turn that love into helping brands show up with honest, meaningful, story-driven imagery - that’s thankfully, much better lit.

Because sure, professional photos are great, but if they don’t feel like you or your brand, what’s the point?

Let’s make imagery that connects (and converts).
