"Sam is super sweet, and was definitely more excited for the shoot than I was! I was incredibly nervous. The minute I got out of my car, she told me that I looked pretty. She did really well at making me feel more comfortable in my own skin. She gives a lot of compliments, and shows you the pictures as you go. Sam has a great outgoing personality. She did part of the shoot in a sports bra, to make me more comfortable. ALSO, she took her shirt off and threw it on me when someone was walking by. 🤣 Sam did a lot to try to make me feel as comfortable as possible. I've only had one session so far, but planning another one for this winter. I'm excited to see the finished product from my first session. Just didn't want to wait to post a review. 💕"- Cathryn 2021 Boudoir Client

"Samantha did a fantastic photo shoot for our family this summer (6 adults and 3 little kids), and we are absolutely delighted with the photos. She recommended a great location for the pictures, and did a good job getting three very distracted kids to focus enough to take some great shots. She was very professional and efficient without rushing anything, and she turned around the finished pictures very quickly. It was great to have these wonderful photos to remember our trip -- we would really highly recommend her to anyone."- Robert 2021 Family Session Client

"Sam’s ability to make me feel confident and beautiful behind the lens was unmatched. I’ve never been able to do photo shoots because it doesn’t feel natural to me. With Sam, it felt natural and comfortable. I didn’t feel like I was making crazy faces and uncomfortable poses, I felt free and beautiful. So glad I did this shoot and can’t wait to do another."- Madeline 2021 Boudoir + Portrait Client

"Sam is a very talented photographer, she works hard to show people how beautiful and sexy they are! i’ve modeled a tad and I have never had a better photoshoot experience than my experience with sam. She made me feel comfortable and it was a blast! Looking forward to more shoots with this amazing woman!"- Morgyn 2021 Boudoir Session Client


"Where do I begin ?! I have done two shoots now with Sam and I can't wait for more!!! Sam is amazing not only is she beyond talented as a photographer, she has such a beautiful soul. The first time I met Sam she scooped me into a hug [pre-COVID-19], and we instantly became friends, I don't think I have ever felt so comfortable with another person so fast! [Especially one that was about to see my in all my glory haha] She takes you away to a world where you are beautiful and sexy in your own skin and it felt effortless. Her directions and directions are perfect and you never feel lost. I have spent thousands on photos with other photographers and let me tell you...Sam BLOWS THEM AWAY!! You can take my word for it or you can book a shoot and see for yourself, I promise you will not regret it!"- Jessica, boudoir session client.

"Before the shoot I was thinking "yeah, let's get the least confident person on earth half way naked and see what happens." But Sam's presence was so calming and upbeat that I couldn't help but have a good time. Sam helped me see myself through the eyes of others, leaving me feeling radiant."- Jess H., boudoir session client.

" Aw thank you! You made me feel confident enough to relax and just be, the light you captured in our shots was gorgeous. Thank you for creating such a positive and supportive space"- boudoir session client.

"Samantha has a true talent, not only as a photographer but as a coach. She was able to work with my three very different children and create a shoot that reflected their true souls. Even if you are not used to being photographed, you will feel very comfortable and safe and Sam will bring things out in you that you didn't know were simmering there. Her work is gorgeous and I have been delighted with her both with my own head shots and the family session she did with my kids. You won't be sorry!"- Merideth, repeat portrait session client.

"Had to pop in here and post a little review. Sam is by far one of the most down to earth, kind women I know. On top of being an amazing person, her work is phenomenal. During the shoot, you will be hit with funny jokes, so many compliments, and if you're a little unsure of what to do, she is amazing at directing! I had a very short shoot because the weather decided to change on us, but even in 20 mins we got multiple adorable shots that I'll love foreverrrrr. Overall, I suggest Sam to everyone I meet looking for a photographer and highly suggest you book. "- Hayley, boudoir session client.

"There are a million glowing things to be said about Sam as both a photographer and human. Her presence is magical and makes you feel instantly at home in front the lens, even when you’re in a place of questioning and self doubt. She coaches and encourages throughout the entire session, showing you images each step of the way and making you feel like the absolute goddess (or god) you are. Sam’s devotion to representation and making her clients feel like themselves and see themselves in such a positive light is truly astounding. She is a radiant soul and you’ll be coming back to her forever, I promise."- Maya, boudoir session client.

"A couple of years ago when it was mentioned by Sam that she was a photographer, and then seeing her boudoir pictures that were so beautiful, I thought about it [booking a session] but every one of my insecurities went through my mind. All about my body and not feeling that  "I looked good enough!" Well let me tell ya.. when I finally asked Sam to book an appointment I was nervous but excited, this lady helped bring out so many things that had been stored away...free, sexy, happy, and literally on top of the world! My only regret, I didn't do this sooner. Don't think about it...just go for it. With Sam's charismatic, enthusiastic personality, there are never any doubts or uneasy thoughts. Just relaxing and fun!!!! She is simply amazing at what she does."- Sheila, boudoir session client.

"Sam did a wonderful session at Alewive Pond for my wife and I. I wanted to surprise my wife for Christmas, and Sam helped me deliver the best surprise. I have known Sam since high school, and have always known she was talented, but to see her in action behind the camera was magical. She was professional, yet also, fun, light, and gave great direction. If it wasn't for her guidance we would have just awkwardly stood there. Thank you for giving us the best gift of them all for this holiday season, and bringing some light into this dreary year. You will be our first call the next time we need any professional photos taken!"-  Deanna, couples session client.

"I have to tell you, my husband who isn't quick to compliment said that he really liked you, and would do pictures with you again! He's usually really uncomfortable getting his picture taken and he felt comfortable with you!"- family session client.

"Sam was an absolute dream to work with and made me feel so comfortable. I haven't been feeling 100% myself recently & this is exactly what I needed to feel special."- Mystique Burlesque, boudoir session client.

"I had the fantastic opportunity to spend some time with the wickedly talented Sam Casey this past weekend. I've been struggling with self image during my pregnancy so this was out of my comfort zone. I was anxious, but I didn't need to be. Working with Sam was full of laughter and easy  as pie!"- Chanel, maternity session client.

"I have had the privilege of working with Sam on two very different occasions. a boudoir shoot for my husband and my little girls first birthday. I have also referred friends and family to Sam. she is nothing but professional, and courteous. Sam is open to any to feedback and suggestion during the shoot, she doesn't count anything out. worried about being uncomfortable? you won't even know you're missing clothing...shes that good!"- Tiff, family and boudoir session client.

"Where to begin? There are so many reasons Sam has been a part of our family since 2017! Her work is breathtaking and inspiring. From capturing the precious moments of teeny tiny humans, to promoting confidence of a mother with an 8 month post partum body for a boudoir, Sam can do it all. She will always be a part of our family, documenting all our milestones so that we can look back and reflect how beautiful life can truly be."- Megan, boudoir and family session client.

"What a phenomenal experience with SamanthaElizabeth Photography.I am not typically the girl to jump in front of a camera. But Sam made it easy and fun for me to step out of my comfort zone! The atmosphere was relaxed. We gossiped and laughed while Sam gave me coaching on how to set up my body. Nerves quickly gave way and I felt confident and beautiful. I was even disappointed when the sun set and we had to wrap it up! Sam quickly started sending me digital prints and I was blown away! I will treasure not only this experience but the results forever.Thank you" - Jen, boudoir session client

"Sam first photographed me in 2012. I had always thought of myself as unphotogenic and awkward. There were many times that I wanted to book a session but was too scared, it was so far outside of my comfort zone. That day at Gisland Farms changed my life! Sam brought me into nature (my happy place) and was able to help me feel so comfortable during the photo shoot. When she started to show me the images she had captured I was astonished, I couldn't believe that was me! No longer an awkward and staged person in a picture, but a beautiful and seductive "muse". That photo session changed my life and I am so glad I allowed myself to be vulnerable. I will have those moments captured forever. Since then I have done multiple sessions with Sam, including my most recent maternity shoot. She has a way of incorporating your true self and having them shine through in all of the art she creates. She is fun, comforting, and incredibly talented and I am so thankful and proud that I have been photographed by her!" -Chelsea,  boudoir | maternity | family session client.

"I am a recent bride who just got married on June 15th and chose SamanthaElizabeth Photography to take my wedding pictures. Working with Samantha was like a dream from the beginning stages until I received my wedding pictures. When Samantha and I first met she was so prepared. She came with her laptop to show me how she edits pictures and even came with a check list so I could check off pictures I definitely wanted taken throughout the event. She even requested a "photo" book of important people that were attending my wedding to ensure that there were pictures taken of those people. During the wedding day, I had no fears in Samantha. I felt totally comfortable with her taking my wedding pictures because of the prep work and communication we had. Not only did Samantha show up to the requested location on time, she showed up early! This enabled her to take beautiful detail shots that were not "requested" on the check list, but have turned out to be some of my favorite pictures. Throughout the day Samantha was great! She came up with great poses for wedding pictures and even took some suggestions from the bridal party. She is so creative in her own way and it was nice that she took suggestions as well. I like that Samantha never got offended if someone else had an idea. After the wedding was over I had some "wedding blues." Samantha cured my sadness by providing 5 beautiful edited wedding pictures 48 hours after the wedding had ended. This was great because I was able to see some of her awesome work before I left for my honeymoon. Samantha was also great the few months after the wedding. As she edited pictures she would send me some by email so I could see her progress. She would also let me know the time table that she was going to have the pictures done and if that changed she would always send me an email and let me know. In the end, my pictures came out beautifully and I am so glad I picked SamanthaElizabeth Photography to take pictures for this very important and special day. I would recommend SamanthaElizabeth Photography for all your photo needs, not just weddings. She has an amazingly creative eye and is fantastic!" - Erica, wedding client


"My family and I got to work with this amazing photographer for the second time last weekend - we did newborn photos back in October for our son, and now that he is 6 months old we wanted more. She does such great work I didn't even think of going with anyone else! You can tell she really enjoys what she does, as it reflects in both the photo session and finished product ☺️ Look forward to continue working with her as our family continues to grow ❤️" - The Michaels, family session client
