Introduction: Hey there! I am a graphic designer and photographer. I graduated from UW Stout in 2012 with a bachelors in graphic design and started pursuing wedding photography a few years ago. I have kept photography as “just a hobby” of mine for a while, but now I would love to see where it takes me as a career along side my love for design. If you are looking for design services you are In the right hands. I have created multiple projects from small scale to large trade show booths. I have also dabbled in web design and development with a fast turn around. Please don't hesitate to email, call or text me!

Hired on Thumbtack

Sami Jo is AMAZING! She was professional, but personal and really made us feel comfortable. This was the first ever photo shoot my fiance and I have ever had, so we were a little nervous going into the shoot, but Sami Jo did such a good job with making it fun. She is so creative and had so many fun poses and things to do while she took the photos. We HIGHLY recommend hiring Sami for your engagement photos!!! Can't wait to get the rest of our pictures!!

Details: Natural or environmental • Artful composition and lighting • Outdoors • One location • Online or digital proofs and prints • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

I asked Sami to take some engagement photos of me and my fiancé. She was a pleasure to work with and produced some great photos for us. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. All in all, a great photographer for a great price!

An incredible person with a beautiful talent. I recommended her for all of your photography needs. Your going to get a dedicated, motivated, responsible and timely photographer that captures what you’re looking for perfectly. She’s also a sweetheart that’s just really fun to work with :)

Sami has taken photos for our son's graduation and also for our family photos, and she did an exceptional job both times. She's on time and produces beautiful pictures in a timely manner. We would highly recommend her.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I typically charge by the hour, but if I am covering a wedding it is a packaged deal. I have 2 wedding packages. The first starts at 1,000 and includes: engagement session, 5 hours of coverage and a USB with all your images. The second is 1,800 and includes: engagement session, 10 hours of coverage and a wooden box with printed images and USB drive. I am definitely able to customize a package for your needs if my two packages don't fit you. I am currently running a deal if you book your 2020 wedding with me now you will get $100 off.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Let's meet up! Get coffee, ice cream or a drink. What ever your flavor. I like to get to know my couples. It is for my benefit but also for yours. It benefits me because when we meet up for your engagement session your don't feel like I am a stranger. It benefits you in the way that you won't feel shy or awkward and your photos will turn out that much better. We can figure out the details during this meeting as well - what brings the best out of your relationship and where we can capture it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelors in fine arts, concentration graphic design from UW-Stout in Wisconsin. I also took a couple photography courses while attending college and have been exploring the world of photography for the past decade.
