Hi I'm Samantha Jane

Every person, every family, every milestone carries a story. At Samantha Jane Photography, I believe that story deserves to be captured with honesty, grace, and beauty. From the warmth of a fleeting smile to the quiet joy of a shared glance, I have the ability to see the moments others might miss and transform them into timeless works of art.

What sets me apart is my mastery of natural light. With an eye for detail and an intuitive understanding of composition, I can transform even the simplest settings into luminous backdrops that highlight the essence of my subjects. Whether it’s a 30-minute family session, a creative portrait, or a celebratory event, I work with precision and purpose, ensuring every client leaves not just with stunning images, but with memories of an experience that was fun, effortless, and truly unique.

Clients often find themselves surprised by how much they enjoy the session. Husbands who dreaded the camera walk away saying, “That was painless!” Kids who usually squirm and fidget end up laughing and cooperating. My secret? I have a gift for making people feel at ease. My sessions are more than photoshoots—they’re moments of connection, where individuals feel seen, valued, and celebrated.

More than just a photographer, I am a storyteller. My talents extend beyond the lens to other creative mediums like book publishing and podcasting. These endeavors amplify my commitment to sharing beauty and truth, reminding clients that their stories are significant and worthy of being told.

Grounded in faith and guided by my pioneering spirit, I approach my work with intention and excellence. A warrior for authenticity, a trailblazer in my craft, and a creative pilot who helps clients soar. For those searching for more than just a photo—those longing for someone who will see and honor their story—Samantha Jane Photography is the answer.

At Samantha Jane Photography, the promise is simple yet profound: You have the story, I have the talent. Together, we’ll capture something unforgettable.

XO, Sam

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.
