Introduction: I am passionate about capturing the moments you cherish most. My name is Sam, and I was created to create! I am a baby-huggin', dog mom, face mask obsessed photographer based out of Reno, Nevada! Originally from Sacramento, California. I have been passionate about photography since I was a child, and started my journey as a business owner/photographer when I was 15 years old. My goal as a photographer has always been to provide clients' with the most authentic and wallet-friendly photographs as possible. I strive to always be the most genuine version of myself, and to make others laugh till their bones hurt! I would describe my photography style as vibrant, airy, and of course, happy. Let's smile together! ______________________ Every photograph I take allows me to show my perspective of the world. With every photo shoot, I look forward to not only the beautiful images that will come out of it, but truly getting to know you and finding a location and setting that will convey your unique style. I want to share my love of photography with you and your family, and look forward to working with you.

I purchased Sam's belly to baby package and I was very happy with the result of the photographs, as well as her service. Her questionnaire was very thorough in making sure we were getting what we wanted, and she was really good at following up. At the maternity session, she came prepared with a smile on her face and a great attitude, she was prepared with a brochure to give us of belly to baby package info to prepare our home for the newborn session. This really made us feel taken care of and well prepared for what to expect. When we had our baby, we decided to put off the session a few days, and Sam had no problem rescheduling us. She was wonderful. When the day of the newborn session arrived, Sam showed up and set up a FULL photo studio in our house! It was amazing. She handled our baby very well and was extremely polite and kind within our home and needs. Needless to say, I am very impressed with this young photographer, and she has so much skill and experience. We love Sam, and are excited to hire her and work with her again!!

Sam Murray is a phenomenal photographer. She is skilled, knowledgable, professional, and extremely good when working with children. I received my photos back very quickly, and had no problems downloading them and printing them. It is because of Sam that I have memories of my child to cherish forever. Thank you Sam!!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I list my prices on my website for each session option and event package. If interested in a session, don't hesitate to request a quote, or contact me via my website for more information. I'd love to chat!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first contact is internet based. I then will usually exchange calls or emails with them depending on what they are most comfortable with, and then meet with them on the day of their session/event at the location and capture some awesome images! It takes approx. 2-3 weeks for portrait sessions, and 3-5 weeks for events, to receive an email with a link to your gallery of images where you can instantly download the retouched, unwatermarked, high resolution files.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been interested in photography since a very young age, and was self taught until the age of 16, when I enrolled in my first photography class. I continue to take classes to this day to stay up to date in my knowledge of the latest photographic technology and the latest programs.
