Hi, I’m Sam!

I'm a proud queer bi-racial woman raising my young daughter in the Inner West of Sydney. You’ll often find me drinking coffee at my corner cafe or having wine at my local theatre with my beloved partner. I adore being out in nature, dancing like no one is watching and living a colourful and joyful life. I’m an old soul who is curious about all people and things.

I have been a photographer for over a decade and have captured magical moments between people from all walks of life.  I feel so lucky.

In my work, I look for ‘the daisies’ - the beauty, pure joy, connection and cheerfulness in the everyday. I see the little creases around people’s eyes as they laugh, the nervous hand holding between a couple on their first date, the way a parent looks at their child as if there was nothing else in the world but them, the rainbows that stream through windows when the light hits them just right. I am the Noticer of all things beautiful. 

I’m building a life and a business rooted in authenticity, connection and creativity. I dream of a world where all love is celebrated loudly, where families of every kind are honoured, and where moments are remembered not just for how they looked, but for how they felt. My mission is to make all people feel seen, celebrated, and completely at ease.  This isn’t just about photography, it’s about legacy, joy, and leaving a little magic behind in the lives I touch.

MY VALUES

  • Two joyful men in white shirts, each wearing glasses on their heads, laughing together, with flower boutonnieres, one holding a champagne flute.

    AUTHENTICITY

    The most beautiful people in the world to me are those who are truly themselves. No masks. No fear. Just honest, true humans. It is what I aim to capture in my photos. The beauty of a person’s heart and soul.

  • JOY

    I wake up every day seeking joy. I look for the daisies - the things that make us smile. This is what I look for in my photography too - the little and big moments that make our hearts skip and our smiles widen.

    INCLUSIVITY

    Love has to be celebrated in all its forms - no matter your body, faith, race, sexuality, or gender. We are all beautiful and worthy of love. This is a safe space for all.

    CURIOSITY

    I want to learn. I want to grow. I want to travel. I want to see things I’ve never seen before. Being curious about people, the world and my art is what excites me and pushes me forward
