MARCH MINI SESSIONS

Mini Sessions are the best when you just want to get the shot!


People are busy and time may be limited with your family's schedule. I offer mini sessions so you can still create the most cherished photos for you and your family at a highest value. Nothing differs on my end. I use the same amount of precision and care when curating mini galleries. The goal is to create portraits worth sharing!



SAM BROOKS, PHOTOGRAPHER


I am a fine art photographer in Lakewood Ranch.  I have been photographing families and children for over six years. As a mom of four, I know how challenging a photoshoot can be to organize and execute. I also know that with small children there might be a limited window of compliance. My mini portrait sessions are outdoor, either early morning or evening. I capture both candid and posed shots as well as individuals for the children.



The best part for me, is meeting great people!

I couldnā€™t be happier with my experience with Samā€™s photography! I booked an engagement shoot and from start to finish, everything was absolutely seamless. Sam made us feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera and helped with poses. so happy on how fast she gave us our gallery!
