Hello, I am Samantha McDonald
I am a wife, mom of two and love a good mimosa. I am born and raised in North Conway, decided to come home after college to settle here for our babies. I have always been interested in photography and being creative through pictures. Now that I am staying home with my little ones I now have the time to explore this opportunity. I am big on capturing the moments as they're happening, and I truly enjoy the stories that are behind the photos. My passion work is in weddings. I love capturing every detail.
Simply put — I love, love

"We had the pleasure of having Samantha take our pictures and it was 12/10. The photos were exquisite, exceeded our expectations, and left us absolutely speechless. So grateful to call her one of our best friends."
Marina & Tim / Conway, NH
"Local Roots Photography so impressively captured moments between my husband and I and our little miracle girl.
From the bottom of my heart, I can’t thank Sam enough. I wasn’t even going to get these done and I am SO glad I was pushed and did them. From the first introduction message, to the day of pictures, she made everything so easy and comfortable. Thank you for making it a day to remember. You hold a truly special talent Sam."

"Sam was so professional & easy to work with. She even helped me pick outfits for my girls to wear for their photo shoot. She made our photo shoot so much fun. My girls felt so comfortable with her & they were able to act themselves with her! She’s the best!!"
RACHELLE & MATT / CONWAY, NH
"Samantha is incredibly talented when it comes to the right angle and letting you feel free in front of the camera. My husband and I felt completely comfortable during our session with Sam as our hype girl. She will pose you and switch up the scenery which makes for so many different moments. We will definitely be using her again in the future!"
