the name’s sami.
the girl behind the camera & the chaos.
A little about me.
I’m a creator, dog momma, avid concert goer, lover of pineapple pizza (controversial, I know…), and a sometimes successful “try-it-all” DIY-er. Who doesn’t love a good budget-friendly home reno? Thank you, TikTok!
Catch me navigating my late-twenties, camera in hand to capture life’s precious moments, document the world around me, and discover many adventures along the way. I love hard, create often, and dream BIG.
When I’m not creating digitally; I’m busy enjoying life with my closest friends & family. I may be dancing it up in the living room with my husband & our dog, trying out a new recipe or attempting some homemade bread (which turns out about 85% of the time), grabbing an overpriced coffee & catching up with a friend, singing my lungs out in the car, or simply indulging in some good old fashioned ‘couch potato’ movie nights.
why i do what i do.
When it comes down to it, I’m really just a girl with a camera & some big feelings.
I’ve always had a creative mindset that never quite fit the 9-5 lifestyle, so instead, I’ve put my whole heart into myself & my biz. My primary focus is branding & portraiture, but if I’m being honest, your girl likes to keep things interesting & shoot a little bit of it all.
I’ve spent years working on my own confidence & I still have a hell of a way to go, which is why I’m so passionate about building confidence with you. Having been on both sides of the camera myself, I know it can be a LOT, but the feeling of getting your content back & seeing the inner confidence you didn’t know was there - well, that’s life-changing. I’m here to help you see yourself for all that you are.
Whether we’re bringing out your personality in portraits you’ll have to spark joy whenever those nostalgic nights hit or proudly letting your product & talent shine with your own brand - we’ll do it together.
FAQs
What is your shooting style?
I like to take a lifestyle-documentary approach to my work, simply because authentic smiles & movements bring me the most joy. It’s way easier to practice self-love when you see yourself captured in real-time vs. another awkward pose & forced smile. This is also why I’m such a big fan of incorporating video into my daily life & work.
Where are you located?
I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Port Perry, where I spent a majority of my childhood years, but since late 2019, I have called Whitby my home. Although I mostly service Durham Region and the GTA, I’m always down for a good road trip. Are you elsewhere in Ontario? Reach out about my travel availability.
