Hello, I am Sam Burry!
I am a mom of one bio-boy and two bonus-girls, two fur-babies and a wonderful husband.
I love, love. Always have, always will. I love meeting new people who welcome me into their lives to photograph their big, and little moments. The way I view souls through my camera is the way I see life: beautiful, raw, and full of potential. To be a part of someone's milestone and capture their memories has been the greatest experience of my life. What an amazing exchange I get to be part of every time I use my camera.
I love newborns
I absolutely love babies. The sweet, soft, snuggly part of them. The cries - the coos, the smirks. Even when they are crying! The bonus for me is that my work revolves around babies most of the time and I absolutely love it.
I will always offer to console them, and I never want my clients feeling like they have to take charge. Relax, put up your feet and let me do the work!
A little note;
With the choice of dozens of photographers, it can be overwhelming choosing the right one for you. It all boils down to skill, talent and a photographic style that suits you. Although these are important, it's not just about the final product, it's about enjoying the experience too. Together, we will create a session based on the unique needs of your family. I will direct you, but I will not "pose" you. Keeping it relaxed allows me to capture you exactly as you are.
My philosophy is, you can never re-live this moment again. Why waste it? You’re engraving a part of your life for yourself, and others to see. Your children and loved ones can look back on this moment years from now and cherish it just as much as you did. I find serenity in the fact that I can contribute an eternal memory for you, and your family, to have forever.
LETS GET PERSONAL - WHAT MEANS MOST TO ME
My Husband - Geoff
I’ve been lucky enough to share life with my best friend for almost 12 years—and in February 2025, we finally made it official. We tied the knot, laughed way too hard, and soaked in every messy, magical moment of our day (yes, I cried… a lot). Being married to him is the greatest adventure of all, and somehow, I find myself loving him more with each passing day. He’s the calm to my chaos, my biggest cheerleader, and the reason I believe in the kind of love I get to capture for others.
My Son - Alex
Becoming a mom at 17 shaped so much of who I am. My son and I have quite literally grown up together, and watching him turn into the incredible young man he is today has been the greatest gift of my life. He’s coming up to 14 now (how?!), and every day I’m blown away by his kindness, his humor, and the way he sees the world. We’ve been through so much side by side, and I’m endlessly proud to be his mom. He’s my why—my biggest inspiration, and hands down, the most amazing kid I know.
My Best Friend - Bailey
They say some people come into your life exactly when you need them most—and that couldn’t be more true for my best friend. We met just a couple years ago, but it feels like I’ve known her forever. She quickly became my missing piece—the one who understands me without needing an explanation, who lifts me up, makes me laugh, and shows up no matter what. I love her more than words can say. She means so much to me that I reworked my already-set bridal party just to make sure she was standing beside me on one of the biggest days of my life. She’s not just a friend—she’s family.
Chloe-Belle
This is Chloe – our sunshine-loving queen.
Chloe is a unique blend of Bloodhound and Pitbull, and she’s got the perfect mix of sass, sweetness, and floppy-eared charm. Her favorite pastime? Sunbathing like it’s a full-time job. If there’s a sunny spot nearby, you can bet she’s already claimed it. She’s loyal, hilarious, and full of personality—always keeping us on our toes and making sure Brody doesn’t get all the attention. Chloe brings so much love and light into our lives, and honestly, things just wouldn’t be the same without her.
Brody-James
Meet Brody – the big fluffy heart of our home.
Brody is a Golden Retriever x Newfoundland, which basically means he’s equal parts gentle giant, cuddle expert, and total goofball. With his soulful eyes and giant paws, he’s impossible not to fall in love with. Whether he’s snoozing at my feet while I edit or photobombing outdoor shoots with his wagging tail, Brody brings so much joy and calm to our lives. He’s the kind of dog who makes bad days better and good days even brighter. If you’re lucky, you might even get to meet him—he’s always down for a belly rub and a new best friend.
My Girls - M + E
While you won’t see their faces here, I couldn’t share a piece of my story without mentioning my amazing stepdaughters. They’ve brought so much love, laughter, and chaos (the best kind!) into my life, and I’m so grateful to be part of theirs. Blending families isn’t always easy, but the bond we’ve built is something I deeply cherish. Being a bonus mom to them has added a whole new layer of joy, perspective, and purpose to my world.
