Hi I'm Samantha Jane

I've been submerged into the photography world since 2013, but have only recently taken it seriously. I’ve been hired to photograph just about every type of session you can think of, from a local bakery to our state Senator. But of all the cool things I have captured, I’ve found my niche in lifestyle sessions. Showcasing all parts of a family's journey is what I prefer to keep my focus on, but I especially love my newborns though. Lifestyle newborn sessions have absolutely stolen my heart. I am a mother to four beautiful children myself and I know those sweet newborns grow entirely too fast. I pride myself in capturing every fold, wrinkle, grin, expression, and all of their tiny fingers and toes in a single session with so many keepsake images to hold onto forever. My attention to detail is something I have perfected and though I’ve expressed my love for newborn sessions, I apply this attention to all of my sessions. I do not use photoshop. I believe that there is so much beauty in the imperfections and the rawness of life, thus my editing style is simple and not overdone. In all of my sessions my brain is running, changing, moving, and seeing how to create art that you’ll want to hang on your walls. I am an artist and I want the art I create to be something you love. I look forward to meeting you.

one love,

Sam

FAQs

What area do you service?: I service within a 50 mile radius of Tyler, Texas. I will travel beyond my service area for a fee.
What kind of sessions do you specialize in?: I specialize in birth stories, maternity, newborn, fresh 48, grow with me, birthdays, and family sessions. However, I will consider other types of sessions- just ask in the submission form. If I choose not to take your session, I will refer you to someone in my network of other local photographers.
I want to know pricing or I want to book, how do I go about doing either of those?: My session fees start at $350. You can fill out a submission form with the nature of the session you want and I will send you pricing. My booking process is ran through my workspace calendar. Fill out the submission form on the HOME page and I will answer all of your questions through your preferred communication method.
I don't know what to wear, do you offer a client closet?: I am in the process of building my client closet. However I love to help clients pick out what they are going to wear. Anytime before your scheduled session, we can collaborate on everything from colors that compliment your skin tone to patterns that photograph well. I will also assist in what NOT to wear.
Where does the session take place?: I pick a location based off of the aesthetic you are going for. I work on a week to week basis, so when you secure your date, I will contact you the week of for our time, location, and any other final details. If your session requires us to be indoor, I have access to a few studios, as well as my own mini studio.
What is the turn around time on galleries?: I have a turn around time of 4-6 weeks for births and weddings.. 1-2 weeks for all other sessions. If you have a deadline for your session and you need your gallery delivered faster, let me know before our session and I can add the additional fee to your final invoice.
What all does my gallery include?: I give back the allocated edited digitals in a social size for sharing on your media outlets. These are free downloads, but they do not include the printing rights. If you try and print the social size digitals they will be pixelated and distorted. I offer prints which we will further discuss upon gallery delivery. I order high end prints, canvases, or any other photo keepsake that stay true to color and last for years. If you wish to order your own prints, you can buy the printing rights to your gallery from me for an additional fee.
What payment options do you accept?: I accept Cash, Card, Check, Venmo, Paypal, and Cashapp.
I think you sound great, but what if I end up unhappy?: While this is very rare, it does happen. I am a free spirit, and so my style and the way I run my business is also free spirited- and I understand that is not for everyone. I am not perfect, but I try my hardest to vet my clients and ask thorough questions before we get to our session. It’s the reason I like to talk to every person before the booking process even takes place. It is necessary for both me, the photographer, and you, the client, to have natural chemistry. It also allows me a chance to see if the client has a certain style they’re inspired by. If for some reason I think it won’t work out I will forward you to a person who can check all of your boxes and then some, respectfully. If you end up unhappy after a session has taken place, I will do everything I can to create and implement a solution.
