I'm Sam. The thunderstorms brought me here.
No, but really.
01
Storm Chasing
My love of thunderstorms, especially tornados, is what turned me into a photographer. My favorite season is storm season, and I'm not afraid to drive head-first into a tornado warning.
03
Hablo Español
No soy un hablante nativa, pero estoy emocionada de ayudarte con tus fotos y tus días especiales en inglés y español.
(I'm not a native speaker, but I'm excited to help you with your photos and special days in English and Spanish.)
02
Inspiration
The American West, glitter and glam and anything that dazzles, the deep feelings that make us human, antiques, punk rock, the magic of nature, Kansas, laughter and big smiles, making others feel seen.

Always Learning
I'm curious about almost everything, so I'm sure we have interests in common. I can happily lose hours to science and history, writing, baseball, thrifting, aviation, or whatever craft or DIY project I've gotten myself into lately.
The Kansas/Missouri border is my home, and my eyes have been stuck on the skies from the moment I first looked up.
Before Stingray Photo Co., I earned my degree in English and Education and spent several years teaching students from around the world. Turns out, teaching and photography have a lot more in common than you might think.
Adapting for a nervous or excitable little one? Wrangling all the personalities in your family for wedding pictures? Helping you feel like yourself in front of a big camera? I've got you.
I'm a professional at making people feel at ease, and surprises don't scare me.
Can't wait to say "howdy" in person!
Sam
