I’m a homeschool mom to four amazing girls, married to my best friend for ten years, and constantly embracing the beautifully full life we’re building together. I’m a wannabe homesteader with a heart for slowing down, being present, and finding joy in the everyday moments. I love running, laughing, and soaking up fresh air whenever I can—especially when it’s shared with my family. Life feels best when it’s a little wild, a little messy, and full of meaning.
Originally from Arizona, I now call Columbia, South Carolina home, where we spend our days exploring new places and making memories together. In the summer, you’ll almost always find us near some kind of water—lake, river, pool, or ocean—because sunshine and splashing are basically a family requirement. I’m inspired by connection, movement, and real joy, and that’s exactly what I aim to capture through my photography. Images that feel natural, elevated, and full of life—just like the moments you’ll want to remember most.

My “why” for photography is deeply rooted in family. Eight years ago, my husband Brentyn and I started this journey together as Samantha and Brentyn Photography, shortly after welcoming our first daughter. Becoming parents changed everything for us—it slowed time and sharpened our awareness of just how fleeting each season is. We wanted to capture those moments beautifully, intentionally, and with heart, so none of it would slip by unnoticed.
Since then, photography has become my way of honoring life’s most meaningful milestones—especially the season of becoming a mother. From growing families to quiet in-between moments, I love preserving the chapters that shape our stories. Each image is a reminder that these days matter, and that every stage of life deserves to be remembered with care, artistry, and emotion.
Every season, every milestone, lovingly preserved so nothing is ever forgotten.
