Erica and Sam originally did a mini Christmas session for my nieces and nephew in 2017 and we absolutely fell in love with their sweet personalities and of course their stunning wo...
rk! We were lucky enough to have them join us in Italy for our destination wedding! They are so talented and such good, fun people. Our photos came back promptly when we got home and I couldn’t be happier with them! Sam and Erica are like family to us now and I look forward to many years of them capturing our memories!
I don't even know where to begin...Erica, "thank you" just doesn't feel like enough. I was looking for a mini shoot to take some holiday photos of my son and dog (our two boys) and...
I don't think I've stopped crying since I received our gallery. My husband and I both, just overwhelmed. She captured every perfect natural emotion of our wild little 3 year old so beautifully.
As if she wasn't already amazing to work with prior to the shoot (scheduling, chatting, etc), the second we arrived at our location we just all immediately felt so comfortable. Our son was able to be his out of control wild self and Erica wasn't even phased. We had puppies and babies flying in the air at one point and it was just awesome. Erica, you are awesome.
At the end of the shoot she was carrying our son lol there are just no words to describe what a wonderful experience we had. These photos will be cherished forever. And my husband and I are already planning our next shoot with her for our business. Not only did she make clients for life, but friends. I would recommend SamErica Studios for anything and everything: from lifestyle photography needs, family, event, business, wedding, etc. Beautiful work and truly talented. They really go above and beyond.
Thank you again!!
