let's get to know each other
My name is Sam
I'm a wife and a mom of two wild toddlers. I'm born and raised in North Conway, returned home after college to raise my family here. Photography has always been a creative passion of mine, and my time at home with my little ones gave me the chance to turn it into something more. I love capturing authentic moments and the stories they tell—especially during weddings. With an editorial vision, I take pride in my work and want you to have the best experience.
This is where timeless romance takes roots.

"Local Roots Photography impressively captured moments between my husband, me, 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 intro 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."

"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!"
