Sam was phenomenal and a true artist. I've never been comfortable getting my photo taken, but he put me at ease right away. He took the time to understand what I needed, and advised me all along the way. I've worked with professional photographers before, but Sam's exceptional. The photos look so great, I can't believe it's me!
