Hello, I’m Sam: Your Family Photographer

Family is everything, time is precious. I’d love to capture those memories for you.

Hi there, I’m so pleased you’ve jumped on this page so I can tell you about me, the human behind the camera. As many Mum’s I wear many hats! I’m a Mum to Charlie and Austin, wife to Andy, a TV producer by trade and now family and lifestyle photographer.

I love people: their stories, their faces and I have been working on primetime documentaries for the BBC and Channel 4 for the past 15 years. So, in many ways photography was a natural progression.

Born and raised in Falmouth, Cornwall, I have recently returned home to Cornwall having just moved from Bristol. I have lived all over the country, Birmingham, Manchester, London and Bristol but I am thrilled to be back in my homeland, close to family and some wonderful friends.

So what brings me here? Since having Charlie I rediscovered my passion for taking photos and having worked with TV cameras before my pregnancy I realised how much I missed that creative arm of my life.

Embracing the beauty of natural light, my style is reflective of my career as a TV producer: observational, natural, unobtrusive. This approach allows me to capture the essence of your family, whatever size, in a real, human, ‘normal’ way. And to me, that it is such a joy.

Memories are priceless, and time has a way of slipping through our fingers as life unfolds. Let me capture those moments for you to look back on and cherish forever.

Sharing my precious moments

My Top 5

Stripes

I’m not sure when a fondness turns into an obsession, but I can’t resist a Breton stripe – whether it’s a t-shirt, pyjamas, or socks! My love for stripes is so strong I even have a drawer dedicated to the humble striped top. Forever a classic for me.
Cornwall

Oh, what a beautiful county she is! The sea, the sun (when it does make an appearance), and the food – pasties, scones anyone? I’ll forever be proud of my homeland and the little Kernow sticker on my car..
Plants

This one’s a new passion: houseplants and gardening. At last count, I had over 30 houseplants – and yet I’m always on the lookout for more! I love pottering in the garden, tidying up, mowing the lawn, and seeing what’s growing. Pure heaven.
My Boys

No Top 5 would be complete without my lads. Living in a house full of boys isn’t quite what I imagined – slightly smelly now and probably only going to get smellier (I really hope not!).
Food

Eating brings me so much joy! Is it strange to have a list within a list? Oh well. In no particular order: chocolate, yoghurt, ramen, jacket potatoes with cheese and beans, and sushi. NOM!
