About me
My name is Sam, and I am a professional photographer with over 10 years of experience specializing in weddings, senior portraits, and family photography. While these are some of my favorite sessions to capture, I am passionate about photographing a wide range of moments and milestones—whatever is meaningful to you.
Based in Denver, Colorado, I proudly offer my services nationwide and am always excited to travel to document your story wherever it takes place. I founded SamJ Studios shortly after graduating high school, inspired by a personal experience that shaped my approach to photography. At the time, my family was unable to afford professional photos, and I was gifted a session by a generous photographer. That experience not only meant the world to me, but it also highlighted how inaccessible quality photography can be. It became my mission to provide beautiful, high-quality images at a more approachable price point.
As my business has grown, so has my commitment to flexibility and personalization. I now offer fully customizable wedding packages designed to reflect each couple’s unique vision, priorities, and budget. My goal is to create a seamless, enjoyable experience while delivering timeless images you’ll cherish for years to come.
SamJ Studios is built on lasting relationships, and I am honored to work with many returning clients as they celebrate life’s biggest moments. I am truly grateful for the trust my clients place in me and look forward to capturing your story.
"I hired Sam for a “group photo shoot” which was a cover for the surprise proposal to my fiancé. She took the time to scout the location before hand, was on top of the weather all week, and because of her professionalism and good eye for photography, she was able to subtly coordinate and capture the complete surprise of the moment. The photos are beautiful and edited perfectly. She was friendly and pleasant to work with, and demonstrated great integrity as she responded quickly and professionally to every additional request even after I had already paid and received final photos. I would highly recommend for any occasion!"

"Sam was the best photographer I could have managed to get for our intimate destination wedding! She was so easy to talk to and made the whole experience so comfortable. Not only did she make sure we were comfortable, she made me feel absolutely beautiful all morning Sam made sure the whole thing went smoothly down to going to Walmart for us to get pins for the boutonnière and pins for my hair. Her work is breathtaking and she goes above and beyond even with her schedule" - IMANI
"Planning a destination wedding is scary; picking a photographer to capture the most important day of our lives without ever meeting her was even scarier. Yet, when we met Sam, she instantly put us at ease and made us feel so comfortable and ourselves. She captured the pure joy and love in our eyes and our families hearts as we married in the mountains. She captured the smallest to the biggest details, and she did it so effortlessly. She made us have fun. She made us relaxed. She showed us often images that were being captured that increased our excitement even more. Sam has the biggest heart and it is evident that she pours it all into her work. We cannot recommend her enough (and wish we lived closer for her to capture all of our life memories). Sam was the best decision we made that day, other than deciding on forever with each othER" - Brooke
"Booked Sam for my wedding on September 1st 2024. She was so so sweet and made me feel so beautiful, she was hyping me up all day. She got so many photos and made sure to get everything I asked for and then some. I did not have my sh*t together as much as I thought and Sam worked around my chaos so well and made everything happen. She made sure every photo looked nice before moving on to the next and she got me a preview of my photos so quickly. HIGHLY recommend Sam for all of your photos. I will 100% be coming back to Sam for all my photography needs. Thank you Sam!!" - Kylie
"I met Sam last summer while planning my wedding. I knew what I wanted in a photographer, and she ticked all the boxes. Sam was so invested and I couldn’t have wished for a better person to capture our special day. Without having to ask her, she went from photographer to our best advocate and my biggest hype woman. She made sure my wishes and requests were met on our wedding day. She is a literal MAGICIAN with her camera & I basically cry every time I look at our pictures. Sam, you’re a lifelong friend my dear. Thank you for everything you have done for Brett & I" - Monica
